Talk:Reheated Cabbage

Note

The CSD tag was placed by a banned sock. ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 02:15, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Then can the CSD tag be removed? The page doesn't meet any criteria for deletion, despite the ridiculous title.Darth Nub (talk) 02:25, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

This book appears to be genuine, i've added ref no.1 for you. I'll leave the tag - it's not my place to remove it. Baffle gab1978 (talk) 03:20, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm sure it could be removed, but I think it would be best to wait for an admin to take a look. I've left a message on the talk page of an admin I know. I do agree that the title is ridiculous... but it is a notable subject in a perfectly fine article. ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 03:34, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion requests can be removed by any editor other than the person who started the article. However, they should be removed with care - if they were added in good faith it was probably for a good reason. In that spirit it should not be removed by people who made significant contributions either. Authors and significant contributors should use {{hangon}}. Also, if a banned editor makes an edit, the edit can be removed by anyone regardless of content. However, if a banned user makes an otherwise-legitimate speedy-deletion request, common sense should prevail and it should probably be treated as if it were made by a non-banned user. That wasn't the case this time though, the speedy was declined on its merit, or rather, lack of merit. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 04:32, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. I'll be sure to remember that. ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 02:46, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

About the book title

There are some idioms where reheated cabbage indicates something old served up again, e.g. the Scots "cauld kale het again" and the Italian "cavoli riscaldati". Is the book therefore a collection of older work or juvenilia? I wonder if he has explained the title anywhere. ~2026-22516-53 (talk) 08:39, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
