Talk:Aberdeen Angus Steak Houses

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Deletion?

I recommend this page be deleted. It's sounds like someone visited an Aberdeen Angus Steak House and was upset with their visit or was possibly fired from the company. In any case, I find it hard to believe that no one likes these steak houses. Unfortuanately, I don't have access to the internet from work. If anyone can balance this article a little bit I would appreciate it. Eris11 16:38, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Don't delete it, just rewrite it. I did several times with good comments but everytime I did someone came back and rewrote it like a crtic would. I created this article and I didn't want it to look like this. Will you rewrite it? Unisouth 09:07, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok, deal. It looks like someone's already touched this one up but I'll keep an eye on it too in case that user comes back to deface it again. If they do, we'll block their IP address which should sober them up a bit. Eris11 14:51, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2008 NPOV

This article has had some long running issues, however apart from coverage of its entrance into receivership in 2002 and articles (in reputable sources like the Telegraph) about how no Briton would eat there, there isn't much else. Question I guess is whether this is at all notable outside a food review magazine when it hasn't had anyt recent coverage. Thoughts? Travellingcari (talk) 21:51, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Notable restaurant chain. Everyone in Britain has heard of it. Itsmejudith (talk) 16:25, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but that unfortunately doesn't make it pass WP:N, I'm not suggesting it be deleted or anything, but there doesn't appear to be anything else to add. Travellingcari (talk) 16:36, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I was wondering why the text I had added citing the unusually critical write-ups and reviews of this chain had been deleted. If (as in this case) all critical comment is negative, then it is not POV to cite this comment. Indeed, there is a reasonable argument that the thing that makes the chain really notable is its astonishingly poor reputation, which has made it a frequent butt of jokes in UK press and elsewhere. The article is now bordering on the misleading - the Telegraph article is cited as if it was a neutral write-up, rather than one of the worst reviews you could ever hope to see in print.

Add it back in if you want. I tried to find something to say that wasn't horrendous but there doesn't appear to be much positive coverage of this restaurant. I don't know that it's all that notable in the first place, I just attempted a clean up. TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 17:38, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

It's notable in the sense that it has an unusual reputation for badness - as testified by numerous newspaper articles over the years. The threshold for notability for a business is really quite low (WP:CORP). LeContexte (talk) 20:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
