• Delete The article does not asssert the subject's notability, and a look at the site and Alexa (rank 600,000+) makes it unlikely there is anything notable, it's just one more local commercial restaurant listing site. A good reason for deleting such articles has just been demonstrated by a new user. Apparently on seeing the article along with the "not many articles link here" template, the editor went to various articles and wrote the link in (see new editor's explanation[1]. Unfortunately, since this isn't a prominent site, those entries came across as spam. See the diffs for Restaurants, Boston, MA, and New England. Apart from the difficulty having this sort of quality of subject can pose for similar new editors, we need to get this deleted before marketing professionals see this as a legitimate and Wikipedia accepted way to promote their causes. --SiobhanHansa 17:19, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
