Groceries (talk - history - links - logs)

I somehow missed this when I TC'd grocery bag last year. This is as non-notable as grocery bag was, and actually even worse, IMO --- it's more of a concept than a noun, really. It would be like having an article on "laundry" or "the dishes." I think we would better serve our readers by mentioning the concept of groceries in our foodstuff article.

12. For now. "Foodstuff" should probably move to "food", though. —Silly Dan _(talk) 13:11, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
13. Specific foods are ok, the term that covers the specific foods is not. 1358 ^(Talk) 09:40, September 8, 2013 (UTC)

Talk about it

• More than just mentioning it, a merge/redirect to foodstuffs is probably the best option (as sparse as that "merge" would be). jSarek (talk) 07:26, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
  • Not a bad idea. Done. Menkooroo (talk) 07:28, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
    • Can you please clarify your voting option? A true redirect cannot exist if we're deleting the article. "Delete and merge/redirect" doesn't exactly make sense. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 17:38, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
      • Delete the article inasmuch as the page will be blanked and turned into a redirect. Article will be redirected and info merged per jSarek's suggestion. Menkooroo (talk) 02:03, September 4, 2013 (UTC)
        • Then Delete should be taken out of the option. The article will not be deleted. It should say "Merge and redirect" as the option. - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 02:06, September 4, 2013 (UTC)
          • Done, but I won't contact the users who have already voted, since they knew what it meant. Menkooroo (talk) 02:12, September 4, 2013 (UTC)
