This article was initially tagged by Eldarion for speedy deletion as a hoax, but was declined due to the large number of contributions in the edit history. As stated in User talk:Passengerpigeon#Info, @Eldarion: said that this dessert was a hoax made up by a Turkish internet troll community and propagated across several websites with the intention of getting Android to name their latest operating system after it. Perhaps other editors will now be able to evaluate whether this dessert is real or not. Passengerpigeon (talk) 22:59, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment The image in the article is likely a copyvio as it appears multiple times in a google image search, usually described as Sütlü irmik tatlısı, a milk semolina dessert, e.g. here and here.--Malcolmxl5 (talk) 23:54, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Adding this (dated 25 May): Since 5 days ago there was no sweet thing named NAMIK, but we are Turkish and we produced a new dessert and named it NAMIK. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 00:09, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - There are references in the article and rich Google search results in Turkish, Youtube videos, popular recipe sites (like Nefisyemektarifleri.com) and blogs etc... I think the article should stay but I don't ethically vote to keep, because I'm one of the contributors. I don't know the Android related things but if they are notable, we also can write them in the article. --Logom (talk) 23:57, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• delete as an admitted hoax. Mangoe (talk) 20:50, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. It's difficult to believe that we actually need to debate this. Consider this quote from the article's History section -- The dessert's history goes as far as Suleiman the Magnificent. One of his praise words mention about Namik was the following: "Pearlicious!" (Sweet as a pearl). That wasn't added by a vandal; it was in there from its creation. Of course this thing is a hoax.

• Delete per NewyorkActuary --Eldarion (talk) 12:19, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as I've still been watching this and there's still been nothing confirmably better to suggest a better article, thus delete until someone can make better available. SwisterTwister talk 06:14, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
