[edit] Marvin's

Non-notable restaurant. Denni ☯ 00:00, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

• delete per nom M1ss1ontomars2k4 ^{(T | C | @)} 00:49, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - Article is poorly written, but it appears the Joan Of Arcadia reference is legitimate, thus establishing it's notability. I'll doublecheck shortly. --Avillia ^{(Avillia me!)} 00:50, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

• This Marvin's is in Greencastle, Indiana, but the Joan of Arcadia reference is to a Marvin's in "Arcadia, Maryland", which is not only fictional but in an entirely different state. So how can this be the same thing? --Calton | Talk 01:26, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

• I think it's pretty clear that it's a reference to the restaurant in question - here's an article on the subject and the link. Not that the reference itself makes the article notable (as per Dgies). Kuru ^talk 02:08, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete An offhand reference in a TV episode does not establish notability. At best this could make a trivia note for that TV episode. Dgies 01:52, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Even if the show's writer had this Marvin's in mind, I fail to see how a passing reference in one line of dialogue in one episode of a TV show confers the least bit of notoriety or fame. Besides, Roadfood.com -- the Gold Standard for judging eateries-that-use-paper-napkins -- doesn't seem to have heard of them, so they can't be that well known. --Calton | Talk 01:26, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete terribly written, and also per everyone. Danny Lilithborne 01:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep for now, possibly sufficiently important. JYolkowski // talk 02:00, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep ^^ -- Librarianofages 02:03, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NN and also looks like an advertisment. Zos 02:20, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. On Wikipedia, we don't need an article on every single restaurant in the world. It appears to have only one location, very unnotable. Green caterpillar 02:21, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unless we can see some proper citations of these "national publications" (per WP:V). nn Ziggurat 02:43, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, the Joan of Arcadia reference does not establish notability and that is the only one it has. It's kind of scary that such importance would be placed upon a mention in a TV show. I know people are obsessed with TV, but damn. -- Kjkolb 02:59, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, fails WP:CORP. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 04:13, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete nn restaurant, no WP:CORP Dlyons493 Talk
• Delete. Assertions of notability ("famous" garlic cheeseburgers, brief reference in a television drama) are unconvincing. —Caesura^(t) 13:07, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete I can't tell if it's more a failure of WP:CORP or Spam. Alphachimp ^talk 19:39, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
