I discovered today that recipes are now legally deleted from the english wikipedia where they are not welcome any more.
I think this is wrong. A rule which says "no recipes" is really quite misguided, and I have never found the arguments against _all_ recipes to be very compelling. Some recipes, to be sure, are not compelling, and Wikipedia is not a cookbook.
But, I don't always get my way.

If we were a tiny minority to support that Jimbo, I would say nothing. I would just say "well, fine". If you remember well, this is what I said for Wikinews :-)
The problem is that we are not a tiny minority at all.

More discussion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_recipes Which mentions that there is a page with discussion
And http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%3ARecipes_proposal A proposal I made which shows no clear support for plain removing the recipe either
-------
What bugs me is that it is perfectly okay that Gentgeen is bold and remove them. What is not bold is that it is a rule when it is obviously far from globally agreed and that someone restoring a recipe could be reverted on sight or even blocked.
I do not thing this is how rules should be set.
