[edit] Greasy Spoon

Is this article necessary? It seems to just repeat what is in the greasy spoon article with few extra pieces of information. I move for it to be merged. 82.41.10.26 (talk) 15:56, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

"Greasy spoon" is a jokey term. I've been searching Google and found no evidence that the term is used in the USA at all, or only as an Anglophile reference. If that is true then a lot of that article is plain wrong, and a merge is definitely in order.

But merge to this article, with the proper title: cafe, the word normally used. There is plenty of scope here for expansion of what is little more than a stub at present.

The purpose of Greasy spoon should be to explain the origins and use of that term (which it doesn't do at the moment), but it doesn't need an article of its own unless it really is an international thing.

I've added project banners here to open up for more input.
