• Delete as non-notable. Possibly speedy delete as copy-vio of Vintage Milk Can: however, no copyright displayed on that web page. StephenBuxton (talk) 11:52, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

  Comment – Sorry about this – but I double checked the site you referenced and it is copyrighted. My guess is that they copied from Wikipedia. However, just to be sure I tagged article as possible copyright violation. ShoesssS ^Talk 18:39, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete – No, not a speedy, the nominator was right to bring it here. I was able to find one 3rd party source, [1], but even they only mention the place in passing. Other than this, every other reference is either a Wikipedia or a Wikipedia Mirror site. ShoesssS ^Talk 12:00, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge - Changed to merge per below discussions. ShoesssS ^Talk 01:27, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
• Weak Keep - Is the in-depth subject of a Sydney Morning Herald article by noted journalist and author Jack Marx and by Jacket Magazine [2].--Oakshade (talk) 17:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

• Comment - Hey guy, I’m sorry if I am missing something here, but the reference you point too under Jack Marx is about the Alexander's Restaurant. Can you point me in the right direction? And the other piece is listed on the articles page and is dated over 8 years ago. One article does not make for Notability Sorry. ShoesssS ^Talk 18:24, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

• Thanks for that. I'm spacing on the Jack Marx article. One of the responders wrote about it and I don't consider that a valid reliable source (will fix that). As for the Jacket Magazine article, it doesn't matter if an article is 8 years, 80 years or older in being a secondary source. There is no WP:TOOOLD provision in our notability guidelines. --Oakshade (talk) 18:36, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

LOL – no problem. Regarding the age of the article, you are absolutely right, like with all fine men/women and wine, we just get better with age! The point I should have been clearer with, is that it is the only article I could find. Sorry about that. ShoesssS ^Talk 18:43, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

• Merge to Stanmore - the milk bar IS notable but not enough for its own article. This follows WP:LOCAL and is a much better solution than just deleting the articles. I would ask the closing moderator and the other contributors here to please consider doing this. JRG (talk) 09:48, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete but Mention at Stanmore, New South Wales. Merge is inappropriate since the article is essentially one big copyvio. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 09:57, 30 May 2008 (UTC).

  Merge to Stanmore. No, the article is not essentially one big copyvio. See discussion on article talk page. --Geniac (talk) 01:11, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

• Merge to Stanmore, New South Wales. I found 2 news articles that mention the milk bar in passing, 2 or 3 sentences in each ref. I don't think that is enough for it's own article. Kevin (talk) 23:24, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
• Merge to Stanmore. The bar is not notable in and of itself but al least deserves a mention. I'm an Editorofthewiki^{[citation needed]} 22:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
