Subset of List of sandwiches and Category:American sandwiches, the former of which already includes origin and can be sorted on that field. The only thing added by this forked list is the set of images taken from member articles, which isn't really the job of a standalone list. Ibadibam (talk) 20:25, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - This is a new article that qualifies per WP:NOTDUP relative to Category:American sandwiches. The article also qualifies per WP:LISTPURP (e.g. see the article's page views). At the very least, a merge to List of sandwiches would be in order, rather than deletion; List of sandwiches lacks many of the entries present in the List of American sandwiches article. As a secondary choice, a merge would be a satisfactory WP:ATD. NorthAmerica¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:51, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep The pictures help make it notable and is a good way to find all the sandwich articles. This is a unique article, not a dup. Frmorrison (talk) 21:17, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can understand that the pictures are appealing, but in what way does the presence of images establish notability? That's a new one on me. Ibadibam (talk) 18:15, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - I think there are enough sandwiches for it to be a stand alone list. Bali88 (talk) 23:02, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with List of sandwiches. This does not affect the category and as the nom says, the list can be sorted by origin if so required.  Philg88 ^♦talk 06:07, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
