[edit] Flying Saucer Restaurant

Flying Saucer Restaurant (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This restaurant fails WP:CORP. First section of the article is an ad for the restaurant, but without any verifiable claim towards notability. An open point is the claim about the TVO flying saucer contest: That might count towards notability, depending on details, but I didn't find any sources. The last section, added later by a different author, is not an ad but rather criticism, but it is unsourced and not suited for an encyclopedia. -- Sent here as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B.

• Could be delete but someone in Niagara Falls should look up if the place is a designated landmark or if it was designed by some well known local architect. I think an article on Shell gas stations that looks like a shell or the original McDonald's design is notable and is an article. Fineday 05:55, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Fails WP:CORP as per nom.
• Keep, scrolling through google seems to indicate the restaurant is very well known in its local vicinity, and now the owner seems to be part of a scheme to offer $1,000,000 to the first person to photograph a real UFO, [1][2], which in my wikipinion would make it notable. Design could also be of notability if someone could find a source Guycalledryan 08:36, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Hm. Being known in the vicinity would to be a reason for inclusion, in my point of view - that would apply to millions of restaurants. About the $1 million price - it all seems a bit dubious to me. Only the first source seems reliable, and that one is not independent, being from the show that actually offers the prize. Does someone know more about "TalkStar Radio", the station which hosts that show (apparently filling their night slots)? --B. Wolterding 17:20, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
• Comment despite the rather baffling and unexplained reference to the 'notorious' 99-cent special, and we could really cut pretty much all of the commercial description, I'd rather not see this article deleted because it sounds like a fantastic example of Googie architecture. Can anyone get a picture? --Mcginnly | Natter 08:59, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Nothing really fancy, but still different [3][4] Guycalledryan 10:00, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Nothing really here to make it notable. No sources, the sources I've been able to locate don't make it appear to be anything more than a place of local repute. Plus I don't feel that the million dollar publicity stunt really makes it notable. Now, if they DID pay someone a million for a UFO photo, we might be in business. Trusilver 18:23, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. It is really not notable, the only reason for inclusion ould be if they actually paid someone $1,000,000 for taking a picture of a UFO. However, since that is probably not likely any time in the future, I would vote for deletion. Neranei 20:49, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
