Is this concept really such a global phenomenon that it rises to the level of warranting an encyclopedia article? Are "sausage capitals" of so much more significance than, as noted, "cabbage capitals", that this is the appropriate way to document this human impulse? Why not have entire articles documenting lists of localities claiming allegiance to other kinds of food, like poke sallet or ramps, both of which appear to be the subject of multiple competing festivals if not necessary world capitalship? This "phenomenon" doesn't warrant even a redirect in my view; at a minimum, if this is kept, please move it to "Sausage capital" to effectuate appropriate capitalization.

- Keep: I can understand the questioning of the topic, but there's a reason this article has been around for 16 years. I don't know about cabbage capitals, but sausage capitals seem to get sufficient news coverage to be notable. There's a lot of silly yet notable stuff in the world, see, e.g., List of animals awarded human credentials (which i loved even more when it was called "List of cats with fraudulent diplomas"). Agree that it is better titled "Sausage capital".-- Milowent • has spoken 14:28, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

- Delete. This is pure WP:SYNTH. If an individual "sausage capital" has enough sourcing it can have its own article. But a list or set of sausage capitals requires sources that discuss the topic as a group. Without that, it is a cobbled together coatrack of disparate and largely unrelated things. And why has the scope been limited to towns? Germany is the "sausage capital of the world" according to this. Spinning Spark 12:05, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
- The way I understand the development of this article, it refers to places that self-declare themselves to be a sausage capital, vs. a description like in that book ("With over 1,500 varieties of wurst, Germany has to be the sausage capital of the world.") I can't really debate the substance of your arguments though, they are legitimate points. Where the line lies between "cobbled together coatrack" and "brilliant unusual wikipedia article", I cannot say.-- Milowent • has spoken 16:39, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- Weak delete I can see this as being sort of a disambiguation page, but it's not really an article unless there's a source that ties these together. Reywas92 Talk 20:53, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete A handful of articles using the phrase does not equate to notability of the topic. Also, how ironic that an article about a capital has incorrect capitalisation in its title :) Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 03:41, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
