Phenomenon that has no claim to notability. Does not satisfy WP:GNG. — Goszei (talk) 22:55, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

~~Speedy delete~~ Delete per nom. Article has no references nor categories, and is a stub. GinawaSaHapon (talk) 23:57, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- That is not one of the Project:Criteria for speedy deletion. Uncle G (talk) 23:58, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Sorry, my bad. GinawaSaHapon (talk) 00:02, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - I did wonder whether I should have pointed out also that Project:deletion policy does not support deleting stubs simply because they are uncategorized. Please find a policy-based rationale that the closing administrator can hang xyr hat from. Uncle G (talk) 00:11, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      - As a compromise solution, I can categorize the article and gradually expand it with more sources. Egyptian jew (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 06:27, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        More sources? It currently has none. If you can find sources to satisfy WP:GNG, that's precisely what's needed here, and what's lacking. Cats etc. are nice-to-haves, once (if) notability has been established. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:26, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Made me chuckle, so thanks to the creator for that. Love the optimistic "The phrase has yet to appear in the OED" at the end; also the initial caps in the title: it's not just sink salad, but Sink Salad! :) On a more serious note, delete as non-notable neologism, possibly joke/hoax. (BTW, there is something called 'kitchen sink salad', which this might be a riff of, and which also makes finding any sources - assuming any exist, which I doubt - tricky.) --DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:52, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I can't find any significant coverage of this phenomenon to demonstrate that it warrants an article on Wikipedia. Seems to border on being WP:ONEDAY Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 09:09, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: per nom, obvious fail of WP:GNG CommanderWaterford (talk) 12:07, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I have added categories and am working on the references. Note that there is no Wikipedia page for gunt even though a Google images search pulls up 3.7 million results. I would point out that by contrast, the Sink Salad article is at least acceptable to a family audience. It is somewhat out of touch with the times to insist on absolutely zero articles that deal with informal subject matter that is too crude for Harvard academics and college-educated journalists to engage with. Some of these issues are very real concepts for billions of working people, many of whom may not necessarily come from the same demographic as your average editor who is working on the Wikipedia project.
