Taco pizza

The page is sufficiently new.
The page's prose is long enough.
There are several substantial policy issues with the page:
1. With respect to neutrality, half of the article is currently dedicated to the claims of a single individual who managed to get local newspapers to report that he claims to have invented taco pizza. There might be WP:DUE issues here, since half of the page is basically dedicated to one man claiming that he is the creator of the cuisine. Surely half of the extant sourcing about taco pizza is not about this claim.
2. Sources are cited inline. One of the citations fails verification; there is nothing in the source that describes "Casey's Pizza" as being a gas station chain. I'm a bit puzzled to where this claim comes from. The third source is a link to an 1990s-era advertisement in a newspaper, so I'm not sure the mention of Godfather's pizza is really all that worth mentioning, but it's cited.
3. The article appears to be free of copyvio and related issues.
The hook meets all formatting guidelines.
The content of the hook is interesting to a broad audience, cited to a reliable (enough) source, and does not create BLP issues.
The QPQ checks out.

Overall: . Substantial work needs to be done in order to improve the neutrality of the article as it pertains to the amount of weight given to the claims of the person claiming to have invented the taco pizza. — Mhawk10 (talk) 19:34, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mhawk10 The sources I just found here and here makes me believe that "the claims of a single individual who managed to get local newspapers to report that he claims to have invented taco pizza." is heavily downplaying it when the person was directly involved with the court case. That would also be original research into how the newspapers wrote the stories which is unacceptable on Wikipedia. It can't have WP:DUE issues if he is one of the three potential sources for the origin of the food. SL93 (talk) 23:02, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I reworked the article by removing a lot of content about the restaurant Happy Joe's. There are now only four sentences about just the location and one sentence with them relating to the lawsuit. I sourced the Casey's gas station bit and expanded it with a better source. I found a better source for Godfather's Pizza. I reworked the article sections. Work was needed, but I don't feel that it was substantial work that was needed. SL93 (talk) 23:32, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good! I probably should have said "substantive work" rather than "substantial work"; I apologize for my imprecise wording.

Mhawk10 It's fine. I appreciate your review. SL93 (talk) 21:51, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
