Wikipedia is not a place to list anything that happens to be popular in a random city. Food trucks didn't originate the Tampa that this is an arbitrary article. I'm sure every major city has had a couple of local news stories about how food trucks are becoming popular, but that doesn't make it encyclopedic. This could be reduced to a paragraph that is inserted in the economy section of Tampa. ZimZalaBim ^talk 18:23, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The sources don't treat "Food trucks in Tampa" as a notable topic - it's just a bunch of local articles that mention food trucks. The first sentence is ridiculous: "Food trucks have become a popular phenomenon in Tampa and St. Petersburg, Florida" They're popular virtually everywhere.

Delete we have no sources that treat the subject as one that can be given a reliable sourced article that says something actually substnatial about the topic per se. No demonstration that there is anything unique to food trucks in this area that would justify an encyclopedic article on this sub-set of food trucks.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:52, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
