[edit] Wiener's Circle

Wiener's Circle (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The page asserts notability, which I believe it hasn't got, so I have AfD'd it. An appearance on Dave Attell, doesn't mean notable. A google books search turned up only a few passing mentions and a web search turns up numerous advertising sites. The article lacks references for any of its assertions as well.

• Delete I'm not turning up much of anything beyond some online reviews ("road food", yum.) Pig^man 03:58, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep It doesn't have the same international recognition as Superdawg, but it has several celebrity fans (Jennifer Anniston, and I think Conan O'Brien), and it's received a decent amount of media coverage beyond standard restaurant reviews. I found these on Newsbank:

• Melissa Horwitz. "Relishing insults: You might feel like a loser at the Wiener's Circle but it's all part of the late-night fun". Chicago Tribune. 11 June 2006. Q1. (1,948 words)
• Elisa Bongiovanni. "Hold that ketchup: Chicago hot dog has East Bay following". Contra Costa Times. 11 August 2004. g01. (1,691 words)
• Christopher Solomon. "Summer in the Second City". New York Times. 29 August 2004. Travel, 10. (a couple paragraphs of info)

Plus lots of brief mentions here and there. Zagalejo^^^ 04:02, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

• Keep I have added references to the article, but it needs more work.. Seems notable. If someone can varify the Chocolate Milkshake bit then that would be great... Fosnez 04:14, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

• It's not mentioned in anything I've found that falls under WP:RS, although it's mentioned in a few blogs. Zagalejo^^^ 07:15, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

• Keep- as above, some notability here.JJJ999 05:31, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete still does not have enough content to establish any significant notability on its own. Simply being a place someone famous visits is not enough. Tiggerjay 07:07, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

• It's notable because it has received some non-trivial media coverage. The celebrity guests are just icing on the cake. Zagalejo^^^ 07:12, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
