Silly, pointless recipe. Delete. hfool 21:03, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

  • Keep, but first restore to original 1881 version from the page history. It makes no sense to modernize the language, and inapproriate to add editorial remarks such as "This all of course begs the question of why you would want to know how to make starch from frosted potatoes" within the article itself.

  • Keep, but move it to the Cookbook. Krik 22:01, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
    • I think you mean move to wikibooks. (indicating delete from Wikipedia) - Tεxτurε 02:57, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • rewrite possibly as section in starch or starching. I see no reason why it should go into the cookbook - perhaps Wikibooks needs/has a book on domestic cleaning and oddjobs - bit of lemon peel here bit, of bicarbonate of soda on the underside of the vacuum cleaner sort of thing. The cookbook should be for food. Dunc_Harris| 00:08, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete and move to wikibooks - Tεxτurε 02:57, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • What makes everyone think wikibooks wants this? Delete and don't move it; if it ends up in the cookbook, I'll list it for deletion over there, too. Gentgeen 08:34, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Another dump from the 1881 Cyclopedia. Joyous 21:02, Jun 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. I'll give a star to the first person to transwiki it to Wikibooks. Davodd 00:19, Jun 22, 2004 (UTC)
