Most agree they could be moved (see Jimbo, Elian and Ec opinion though), but most also consider content should be moved (not deleted) and links should be preserved.

:Wikipedia is not the mailing list. February is not October. In the last few months, no "article" that is just a recipe has survived VfD, but many have become actual articles and been kept. As I've said before, an article that is just a recipe doesn't give encyclopedic information about a dish, like it's history, useage, significance, how widespread it is, etc.  It would be like if our article on OpenOffice.org was just the source code of the application printed out as text.  It's just a set of instructions with no context, and I think that is not the purpose of an encyclopedia. 
::Come on Gentgeen, you know very well that this is also a lot in Talk:List of recipes/Delete as well. Also, if consensus made 6 months before are not valid any more just from the decision of those working on the topic 6 months later, then I fear that most rules followed in Wikipedia should just disappear :-)
::We also already had this discussion you and I, and you know well that we agreed that just recipee could be moved, while those articles with a bit of encyclopedic content, cultural background, fame etc... could stay here, and this is exactly why you agree that meatball should stay I think. So, you and I have no disagreement.
::Again, these discussions show that there is no evidence it is commonly agreed that everything should just disappear as some editors seem to consider here. SweetLittleFluffyThing 02:27, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: There was no consensus 6 months ago.  I stopped talking because every time I tried to reach a compromise with you, you changed what you wanted.  I'll only bang my head against the same wall so many times before I decide it's not worth it. Gentgeen 03:02, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)
