GA concerns
[edit]I am concerned that this article goes not meet the good article criteria anymore, as it is missing several important sections including the history of the food, what cuisine it is used in, and its uses outside of the United States. Is anyone willing to address these concerns and add this information to the article, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 21:54, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

This article is missing several sections, including its history, the cuisine it is used in, and its uses outside of the United States. Z1720 (talk) 20:37, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- KEEP - it was easier for geneticists to trace human existence back to its Mitochondrial mother than what it would be to trace the history of the exact (or evolving) ingredients for crab dip. I am not aware of any patents on crap dip. Without the latter or other form of verifiable proof, the sections claimed to be missing are, quite frankly, quite a
[stretch]. Having said that, I commend Z1720 for exercising due diligence in wanting our GAs to be really, really good articles. Atsme 💬 📧 18:37, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. Atsme, I would think there is probably something that could be, um, cooked up, about how it came to be associated with Maryland, and about whether it is used outside of the US. In other words, I'm wondering whether you could meet the criticisms part way? --Tryptofish (talk) 19:16, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- I reviewed the article, and it meets the requirements for GA. Can it be expanded? Perhaps, but that is not a reason to file a GAR. There is no documented history about this particular recipe that I can find, though there is a National Crab Meat Day that doesn't specifically mention crab dip, and there is also documented history about crabbing in Maryland which lists ways to prepare crab meat; crap dip is on the list, but just passing mention. The lead of the crab dip article states that it is sometimes referred to as Maryland crab dip. If someone wants to expand the article as a potential FA candidate, they can certainly give it a shot, but finding the documented history that states the where/when/how, it's just another mom & pop homestyle recipe that is typically passed along by word of mouth, online, or in multiple recipe books with some variation. It is also possible that there is a long established, upscale Maryland seafood restaurant that makes claim to their own crab dip recipe, and has it documented but again, that's just a variation of the ubiquitous basic ingredients for crab dip. j/s Atsme 💬 📧 12:44, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

- I still think Atsme might meet the review issues part way, but I see that more as friendly advice than as something that would make me want to de-list the page. I'll defer to whatever Z1720 prefers. --Tryptofish (talk) 18:19, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

- Real life has caused me to get too busy to properly look for additional sources. When I did a quick search a couple weeks ago, I found some sources that might be included, but the information was not as substantial as I would like. I think before this is declared "keep" I would hope that an editor can do a thorough search for sources on WP:LIBRARY, Google Scholar, and other databases to ensure that the missing sections do not have reliable sources that could be used to instead.
