Moved from Talk:Meal delivery service

– ––𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲 talk 21:06, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I propose to merge Meal delivery service into Food delivery. I think that the content in this article can easily be explained in the context of Food delivery, and the Food delivery article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Meal delivery service will not cause any problems as far as article size is concerned. In fact there is already a section there (Food delivery#Meal delivery) on the topic that is larger than this stub. ––FORMALDUDE^(talk) 22:35, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge and redirect, for the reasons outlined above. Fairly straightforward. But an even bigger issue is how to better integrate Food delivery and Online food ordering. I think the latter should be the main article, and the sections should describe the various ordering models, delineated by commercial vs. consumer, but include the delivery as part of the ordering model. After all, you can't have a delivery without ordering, but you can always order and pick up to go, without delivery. And there's already an entire section in the online food ordering article Online food ordering#Service that's really just about delivery. So there's info that can be consolidated. And we'd have to contrast the concept of random "ad hoc" food ordering (pizza, etc.) versus one time subscription services such as meal kits or monthly gift boxes such as the "of-the-month" type clubs, where you order once and then get regular deliveries as a subscription. But that's a task for another day. TimTempleton ^(talk) ^(cont) 23:58, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for weighing in, @Timtempleton. I think the titles of the articles are the main thing to consider. The former emphasizes delivery while the latter emphasizes online ordering. Yes it's true you can't have food delivered without ordering, but you can have food delivered without online ordering (for example, if you place a phone call). So I think it's probably okay to keep Food delivery and Online food ordering as separate articles. It would be a good idea to make them each more concise by consolidating applicable sections, like moving Online food ordering#Service to Food delivery and Food_delivery#Online_delivery_platforms to Online food ordering. ––FORMALDUDE^(talk) 00:18, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge and redirect, for the reasons outlined above. Thanks to you both for weighing in. I agree with FormalDude that Online food ordering and Food delivery are distinct enough to merit separate entries. That said, I agree with the spirit of TimTempleton's suggestion: these entries overlap and have redundancies that need cleaning up. Updating is probably in order, too. Happy to help with the next steps. Thanks again. Sam Perkins (talk) 15:53, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Types of FD >> grocery delivery is not relevant?

Request from undisclosed paid editor

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

Belbury - this is regarding paragraph removed recently. Since there is Grocery delivery section right below the providers across continents, I have added it. Do you think whats been added is still irrelevant there?? Then can you suggest where can I add these missing redlinks on this grocery delivery services article page? Thank you. Lakshmi VB Narsimhan (talk) 05:27, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This was your paragraph. The rest of the section seems to be about meal delivery rather than groceries, and examples which lack Wikipedia articles or sources aren't very useful to the reader. Belbury (talk) 10:11, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok Belbury thank you. But, I could see that few of these are delivering both Meal & Groceries, therefore I had suggested those from the UK. Also, because the UK service providers are missing from this Article page, though the image section on top shows a picture of a meal delivery man in Manchester. What is your take on this?
