Talk:Timeline of the burrito

Burro meat

This newspaper article from 1917 claims burro meat was "toothsome and succulent". --Dwchin (talk) 09:44, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Some of the bullets in this article defy notability

It might seem to some that several of the items on the time line defy creditable notibility. Just because something makes it into a local newspaper doesn't mean it's a notable member of this timeline. I would like to suggest a review of the items on this article with an eye to important events. — fcsuper ^{(How's That?, That's How!)} _{(Exclusionistic Immediatist )} — 20:07, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Could you list the problems ones below? Viriditas (talk) 20:44, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

The entire 2007 list of entries to start with.

Mar: Chipotle Mexican Grill starts "Don't Stand in Line " online burrito ordering system[22]

Jun: Ryan Goff gets prison term for Taco Bell burrito extortion"[23][24]

Jul 29: Moe's Southwest Grill (FL) starts annual competitive burrito eating contest[25]

Rosemary Gonzales arrested for smuggling drugs inside Taco Bell burrito

Burritophile.com launches

Freebirds World Burrito (TX) starts online orders

etc etc etc. That's just the 21st century entries. The fact that this article is so heavily loaded with this nonsense tempts me to tag it as AfD. — fcsuper ^{(How's That?, That's How!)} _{(Exclusionistic Immediatist )} — 22:44, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

It is not nonsense, but someone got carried away and added non-notable data points. Please remove them. Viriditas (talk) 23:34, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Mission begun...more edits to come. Going to let it rest for a week or so to let everyone else interested in this article catch up with the changes. — fcsuper ^{(How's That?, That's How!)} _{(Exclusionistic Immediatist )} — 19:47, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

===Questionable items===

Can someone comment with sources that show how these items are relevent to Timeline of the burrito?

1923 Alejandro Borquez opens Sonora cafe in Los Angeles (later renamed El Cholo Spanish Cafe) burrito on the menu is listed as being introduced in 1977

1934 Restaurente del Bol Corona opens in Tijuana, Mexico.

1949 Restaurant Xochimilco opens in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico

1965 Mi Rancho market sells burritos in the deli in SF

1973 La Taqueria opens in SF

These are just resturants. I've not found any link for their notable contribution to the burrito history.

Sorry, I disagree with many of your deletions. "These are just restaurants" is not a reason to delete them. They are notable in history of the cuisine of California, in this case, burritos. These restaurants are in fact notable, and I'm restoring the entries. You cannot have a "history of the burrito" without these entries, so I'm a bit confused by your argument for removal. Judging by your comments, you seem to be taking exception with the lack of context since you don't see how they are important to the history of the burrito. In that case, the entries require expansion, not deletion. I hope you understand this point. In other words, just because you don't understand why they are important, doesn't mean they require deletion, just the opposite in fact. Viriditas (talk) 07:54, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Merge discussion

I've placed a merge tag on this article with the intent of merging the history data points into the prose section of Burrito#History. This does not mean this article should not exist, but rather it encourages editors to develop the history section in the burrito article and then redirect this article if it is no longer needed.
