Doesn't seem to meet the notability guidelines - sources are unreliable due to being largely self-published and user-generated as far as I can tell. Suntooooth (talk) 02:34, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep One of the few remaining street food markets in Bangkok, widely mentioned and has received some substantive coverage. I've added some cites; this isn't an issue of notability but of a need for sourcing for the article. Oblivy (talk) 03:07, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Oblivy: Could you please link to a few sources that you think best meet WP:SIGCOV? JML1148 (talk | contribs) 09:26, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I only had a short amount of time to work on this, but the Sethlui.com cite[1] is quite substantive. The Bangkok Post article [2] supports the material about naming, and mentions the market. There are some Google Scholar hits as well like this[3] (paper here[4]) which are entirely about the market. Oblivy (talk) 11:24, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article. Oblivy has added a citation to Sethlui.com (a noted Singaporean food website), and in-depth coverage exists by plenty of established food and travel guides, including Travelfish[5] and Time Out[6], not to mention Thai-language sources. --Paul_012 (talk) 11:53, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Suntooooth, since this appears to be your first time nominating an article at AfD, I'd like to suggest taking a close look at the guidance at WP:BEFORE, if you haven't already done so. --Paul_012 (talk) 12:00, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and add information backed up by reliable sources with WP:SIGCOV of the subject: references mentioned here show that the article evidently passes WP:GNG. InterstellarGamer12321 (talk | contribs) 17:46, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
