Suggestions edit
In its present form this article identifies many sources, but it could do more to convey the main points those sources make about the restaurant. A few suggestions, with the ones that seem most important to me bolded:
- The restaurant is frequently referenced in the context of gentrification in the Alberta Arts District. It's alluded to in the middle of a paragraph in the "History" section but there could easily be a full paragraph on this with multiple footnotes, probably in the lead section.
- The popularity of the restaurant is frequently referenced, often as a point of comparison for other restaurants, in terms of its long lines.
- The building itself is interesting, and is discussed at least some in source materials. This could maybe be discussed.
- The sidewalk trash storage point is an interesting one, but if it's going to be mentioned I'd say it needs another sentence or two. As it stands it's entirely unclear to the reader what that dispute was about. Or maybe just remove, if it didn't lead anywhere significant?
- What did Guy Fieri say about why the Tin Shed was worth visiting?
Things that IMO get more attention than belongs in an encyclopedia article:
- Details about the menu, especially considering that menus change. But also because Wikipedia is not a travel guide. There is a "Menu" section and details about specific dishes also populate the "Reception" section. I can see how mentioning one or two example dishes is useful, but this level of detail seems excessive to me.
- Not sure that the fact that the owners are lesbians needs to be the very first fact the reader learns. Keep it in the "Description" section, but I'm not sure it needs to be in the lead at all (unless there is sourcing that, e.g., discusses hurdles they had to overcome as lesbians to get the business going)
- Just remembered Just Out -- I did notice in my initial that Just Out mentioned the Tin Shed a number of times. On a quick review none of them looked like more than name-check, but it could be worth a closer look. Archives are available through The Wikipedia Library. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 18:39, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not sure that the dog bandanas charity promo is significant for this article. If sourcing points to other charitable activities, maybe it could be part of that context...but just as a stray fact, it seems out of place.
Other details:
- What's "Mid Shed" -- is that the original name? Or just a typo?
- Why is there a "See also" link to some TV show that happened to cover this restaurant once? (Maybe I missed something here?) -Pete Forsyth (talk) 18:56, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- I've changed "Mid" to "Tin". Thanks for the additional feedback. I will review in more detail, but in the meantime I hope you will revisit the AfD discussion. ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:59, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- I've removed "lesbian-owned" from the lead. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:22, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
