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)
