It says (This entry is here for translation purposes only.) but there aren't actually any translations on the page! Oh the irony. -- Liliana • 11:04, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
- I kinda want to make a serious comment, but I can't think of one. Just instead I'll just say 'hahahahaha'. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:06, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
- Empty no more. A-ha. Ha-ha. :-) --BiblbroX дискашн 12:34, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
- Anyway delete as SoP. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:40, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
- But is pastry shop i.e. patisserie completely synonymous to cake shop? Does it sell only pastry (A baked food group which contains items made from flour and fat pastes such as pie crust; also tarts, bear claws, Napoleons, puff pastries, etc.) by default, or can also offer ice-cream, halva, w:bajadera? Anyway does ice-cream contain any fat paste? I thought cake shop is a more broad term for a kind of shop having any type of cakes. But I guess cake is not the same as confection, right? Is there a more contemporary term for confectioner's shop? --BiblbroX дискашн 13:10, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
- The same thought occurred to me, but we do have cakery. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:54, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
- I'm sure someone will come along any minute and point out that there are many meanings for cake and for shop, and that we have to let people know which apply to this combination. I'm sure these same people have their closet doors at home marked with signs saying "closet" so their guests won't wander in and get lost while looking for the bathroom. Think of all the countless kinds of small retail establishments that one finds in any directory, and then think of creating entries for all of them ... and then vote Delete as I'm doing here.

- (ec) Yes, I found that one also. Anyway I removed my translation entries and put them into sweetshop since I believe the def corresponds to them. So perhaps cake shop is indeed for deletion as SoP, but wouldn't pastry shop be also then? As it is tagged as for translation purposes only but also has no translations in it? --BiblbroX дискашн 14:43, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

- Keep per WT:COALMINE (and add an actual definition to cake shop instead of
{{translation only}}). I've added citations to cakeshop. —Caesura(t) 15:18, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
- Right. Mglovesfun (talk) 09:55, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
- Yep, keep per COALMINE. - -sche (discuss) 04:36, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
