User talk:BenKuykendallElwingI am at best ambivalent on Elwing. Her turning into a bird and going to Earendil (or however you spell her husband's name) is a key part of the eventual turning of the Silmarillion into a vicotry. I did once read a scholarly comparison of the fall of Troy and the fall of Gondolin that argued it is the combination of qualities of Elwing and her husband that lead to the victory of good. Of course that writer said Elwing was the daughter of Beren and Luthien, but I at least once told someone that Elrond lived in Gondolin, when in fact his father was a child when it was destoryed, but that was not in a scholarly paper. Mistakes about Tolkien's timeline exist, and inaccuracies are often more common when we have indepdent sources. Still I only created the entry on Elwing because her article was a redirect there. If you want to remove her from the list you should also propose a deletion of the redirect.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:23, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
Talk:Bitcoin Cash#RfC: Which of the alternative formulations does The Verge article confirm? closureHi, and thank you for the closure. I have got a related question. In the discussion, this edit in the RfC discussed another use of the source, namely as a reference confirming the claim that "Bcash" is the WP:ALTNAME of Bitcoin Cash. I find it surprising that the editor claims that the source "directly conflicts with other sources...", while insisting that the source confirms the WP:ALTNAME claim. My interpretation of the RfC is that the source does not directly support the WP:ALTNAME claim and that it should be removed. Do you think that it can be done as a result of the RfC, or that there should be another RfC discussing this specific removal? Ladislav Mecir (talk) 22:06, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Green sauce deletionHi, I agree that the green sauce article as it stood needed reliable sources. However, before proposing articles for deletion on the grounds that the topic is not notable, I'd suggest you first look in standard reference sources for the topic. In the case of culinary and gastronomic topics, The Oxford Companion to Food is a good starting place, and sure enough, it has an article on "greensauce" [sic] which mentions the British, German, Italian, French, and South American versions.
