  • Strong Delete: Company is not notable, local to Florida. Nothing found on google other than local restaurant review. Article violates npov, and appears to be advertising.Horrorshowj 00:03, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete: The company is not notable from researching it on Google and the companies own web site. The article does not attempt to indicate any notability, instead it reads like an advert.--Mendors 00:09, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete This company has minor signs of notability, however the article shouldn't stay in its current form. Corpx 00:38, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - I cleaned it up a little and notability is established through those articles Corpx 15:55, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete per Corpx.-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 11:24, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete as per above. Bearian 20:45, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete: nn, badvertisement. The Google hits provided by Corpx above don't appear to establish notability. — mholland (talk) 12:54, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - A search through the google News Archives shows many articles about the chain. Much of them have aged into pay-to-view articles, but I've added references to two articles which are still available for viewing over the web without payment. The article meets notability as there are multiple independent reliable sources in which subject is the primary focus of the article.
    • Even if it is notable, which I don't entirely concede, it still reads like an advertisement. SamBC 21:25, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Comment - sounding like an advertisement can be addressed by editing without resorting to deletion (and is explicitly stated as a last resort in WP:CORP). You can ask other editors to help clean it up by tagging it with {{ad}} if you think the article needs improvement. As for notability, I've provided two reliable sources for references, so it would seem to meet the notability criteria so I don't understand why you feel it is still not notable. -- Whpq 21:55, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
