Suggesting deletion because the establishment fails WP:CORP and lacks reliable third party sources about the subject. Burntsauce 20:34, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep the Zagat seem to confer notability--Victor falk 03:32, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
    • The article makes a claim to a Zagat award of some sort, but no reliable sources are provided to validate the claim. Do you have any? How many of these awards does Zagat issue to restaurants within the San Francisco area every year? As of right now, the reader has no way to verify the information presented, nor do they have any understanding of why that award should be considered notable. Both problems sway me to the delete point of view (reaffirming original position). Burntsauce 16:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
  • You're right. Keep Delete, all restaurants getting a Zagat are not automatically notable.--Victor falk 17:14, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete unless sources are added. The restaurant is well known in San Francisco but after looking and looking I see nothing published about it except restaurant reviews, plus one mention each in the Washington Post and Russian Life. Both of those discuss it in a travelogue based way, and would be fine sources to supplement a claim to notability but just aren't enough. Underneath it all I think this is just another restaurant. Perhaps a good, popular one, but it's not famous, influential, groundbreaking, etc....just not notable enough, unless before it's deleted someone can prove me wrong by finding and sourcing some notability.Wikidemo 17:44, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete due to lack of sources. If reliable sources can be provided to demonstrate notability, the nominator may strike my comments. RFerreira 22:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per [1], [2], [3] and [4]. These are lenghty articles about this restaurant, that seem to meet WP:N's requirement of non-trivial coverage. Sure, restaurants often get local reviews... but these are not your average capsule review, and one is from the Washington Post, which is hardly local. --W.marsh 00:05, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
