Notability
The restaurant no longer exists, and is was only subject to local news, it appears. Talib1101 (talk) 01:13, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
- Keep in mind, The Oregonian is the largest newspaper in Oregon and the second largest in the Pacific Northwest by circulation, and should not be considered "local" only. ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:48, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
- All three of the articles are about it closing, and The Oregonian is local news, as it is news for a state, not a region or country. If this restaurant meets the notability criteria, it barely meets it. Consider WP:AUD. Also Consider WP:A7, which applies to commercial organizations such as this restaurant. Where/what is the "indication of importance"? Not only is there no indication of importance in the article, but the sources only seem to deem its closing significant. Perhaps the restaurant and its closing are significant to locals, but I don't see how this article has a place on an international encyclopedia. I notice from the template that "his article was created or improved during WikiProject United States' 50,000 Challenge", which asks "please try to avoid creating shorter stubs".

- This one is obviously notable. Not only did it get plenty of reliable source coverage during 36 years in operation, but it actually got covered after closing too. We have articles about all kinds of defunct and historical businesses. Saying we have to delete it because it closed is like saying we should delete all biographies of elected officials who are no longer in office. Steven Walling • talk 23:35, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Steven Walling Are you comfortable removing the notability tag? ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:31, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, completely.

I've restored a removal of sourced content. ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:04, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
- You mean: you restored info not about the subject of the article. Info that may be sourced but is still irrelevant. The Banner talk 15:34, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
