The Urban Legends Reference (http://snopes.com) is generally a reliable source, often cited on Wikipedia. However, in a series of pages, known as The Repository of Lost Legends (TROLL), the Snopes site spoofs itself. Among those pages is this one about KFC. The acronym TROLL is a clue that the pages in that particular section, including the KFC page, are not to be taken seriously. Please read their explanation before altering this article. In particular, note that Kentucky Fried Chicken did not change its name because Kentucky decided to trademark its name.

KFC has been listed as one of the Agriculture, food and drink good articles under the good article criteria. If you can improve it further, please do so. If it no longer meets these criteria, you can reassessit.

KFC in Canada and the US don't taste as good nowadays. Please mention about how KFC invests only in foreign markets and forgot about North America. W. F. Irving (talk) 17:59, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Do you have a reliable source for the assertion that "KFC invests only in foreign markets and forgot about North America"? If not, nothing to that effect will be added to the article. General Ization ^Talk 18:24, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

That is an opinion, not a reliable source. General Ization ^Talk 18:31, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Well a lot of Wikipedia articles have opinions. Honestly that is some toxic gatekeeping. W. F. Irving (talk) 18:46, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

No, that is Wikipedia policy. General Ization ^Talk 18:48, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Articles that have opinions are opinions based on reliable sources. Wikipedia policies/guidelines are the ultimate "gatekeepers", not editors. Stefen Tower_{s among the rest!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 23:38, 11 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello,

I was reading this article after learning my great grandpa opened the first KFC in the Chicago area, and Chicago.

My grandpa isn’t the sole reason, but rather I noticed something. Why don’t we have things documenting the first KFC’s in areas? Other fast food articles should as well in some bulleted list. IEditPolitics (talk) 22:56, 6 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

That doesn't really seem like encyclopedic content as it would be likely seen as WP:EXCESSDETAIL. However, if there was a website somewhere that had such a list, it may be ok to link to that, subject to WP:EL. Stefen Tower_{s among the rest!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 23:33, 11 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
