Tendon (meal) → ? – This isn't about a dish or meal called tendon, it's about the uses of tendons in cooking. (There actually is a Japanese dish called tendon, which has nothing to do with the English word tendon.) Not sure what the new title should be, maybe tendon as food which seems to match other similar articles like blood as food. 210.6.254.106 (talk) 16:12, 15 October 2015 (UTC) Relisted.

• Move to Tendon (food). As noted, this is not an article about a dish or meal. If the Japanese dish gets an article, this can be revisited then. 209.211.131.181 (talk) 04:58, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

I would also support any of the moves listed below. Anything sensible would be an improvement here. 209.211.131.181 (talk) 19:41, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

• Move to Tendon as food. The search result linked to by the original proposer suggests this is a fairly common method of titling an article. The Japanese meal already gets a mention at Donburi#Tendon. To be honest, I think it would be difficult to expand into a separate article. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:45, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
• Any of these would probably be improvements. Tendon (food) has consistency with Ribs (food), though there don't seem to be many articles at all with this problem. My personal preference would probably be Tendon meat, which could easily be linked in running text without piping. --BDD (talk) 14:28, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
• Move to Tendon meat as per BDD. Tiggerjay (talk) 19:27, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
• Support Tendon (food), similar to Liver (food). Neither are well accepted as a "meat", meat is taken as being "flesh", which is usually take as excluding the "viscus", which includes, apparently, liver and tendons among many other things. "meal" is not good, meal is ambiguous, meaning perhaps an entire culinary meal in itself (unlikely), or something ground to a course powder, like oatmeal, which is what I actually suspected, and is not the case. I had heard of bonemeal, a foodstuff fed to cows, with unfortunate results. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:53, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Post relist comment.

• Tendon (food). Am not sure why this is said to be ambiguous.
• Tendon as food. Good, if the above is ambiguous. It emphasises the unexpected use as food. I would not have expected it to be much more edible than bone or hair.
• Tendon (meat) or Tendon meat. Oppose this becuase tendon, like tripe, brains, bone, even liver, is not "meat" in the culinary sence. Turns out the tendon is all protein, but protein does not mean meat. Spinach is rich in protein.
• Beef tendon would be OK, as beef means "cow as food", except that the tendon, while usually beef, is not necessarily beef. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:01, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

• Donburi#Tendon is also food. Peter James (talk) 19:41, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

• Relisting comment. Clear consensus to move, but some more participation would be useful to see which variant to move to. Jenks24 (talk) 02:20, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
• Tendon (food) would still be ambiguous; Tendon as food (not in sources, but descriptive) or Tendon meat (an occasionally used term) would be acceptable. Beef tendon is another option, as it's used in the sources and they don't mention any other type of tendon. Peter James (talk) 09:55, 24 October 2015 (UTC) Support Tendon as food. Peter James (talk) 19:41, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
  • Comment Other sources mention the use of pork tendon in cuisine as well [1][2]. IMO it's better to cover all that here than make a separate pork tendon article. 58.176.246.42 (talk) 17:47, 27 October 2015 (UTC) I am the nominator, on another IP
    • I agree, probably better in this article similar to ribs (food). Peter James (talk) 19:41, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
