Local interest magazines and sourcing

Just to be sure I looked into the magazine, Sonoma Magazine, and started an article on it (as per Wikipedia:Notability (media) one can use journalism awards as a basis of notability). It's a local interest magazine that covers food and wine in the Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley areas of California: as this food/wine stuff is a softball topic I don't see why an American local interest magazine wouldn't be sufficient for comparing/contrasting two different kinds of Indian-style food. (the magazine had covered Indian-style food in the Sonoma/Napa areas for that article) WhisperToMe (talk) 19:13, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You're probably right that my edit summary was a bit dismissive, but I genuinely don't think that the claim should be in the article. Regardless of the respectability of the Sonoma magazine, it's effectively reporting the opinion of a single chef in the US on the difference between two dishes primarily associated with the UK and India. In addition, we have multiple sources in the article stating that there is not really a universally-adhered to definition of Chicken Tikka Masala, so any claim that there is a specific difference between it and another dish should be viewed with significant suspicion. Regarding it being my job to rewrite the section to be intelligible to a British audience- I'm afraid this is impossible as the current language is genuinely unintelligible to me: I have literally no idea what the claim that it uses a "non-gravy sauce" is supposed to mean, and the original article doesn't enlighten me. If the claim is that there are meat juices in the tikka massala sauce, this does not seem to be backed up by the rest of the article. In any case, per WP:EngVar this is an article that strongly leans towards British interest and therefore the article should be written in British English. Would you be happy if we removed the strong claim of the difference between butter chicken and chicken tikka, but left the (imo, correct) claim that they are very similar dishes with the same sourcing?
