  • Keep - looks like quite a large franchise. ben 06:02, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete - a small franchised chain, fairly localized; if people in Pennsylvania and Maryland feel really strongly about these restaurants, maybe... but otherwise, I don't think we should bother. I just took out a paragraph about franchises being available; it needs a rewrite in general. --Brianyoumans 06:26, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - I'm from western PA and it's all people talk about here, just wish I had a better way of showing it..I also wanted to add it only because it's becoming incredibly popular and it's spreading quite fast.Sizzlenuts 06:41, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
    • If "it's all people talk about here", there should be magazine feature articles, major news coverage, books, and reviews that you can cite to demonstrate that the WP:CORP criteria are satisfied. Please cite sources. Uncle G 11:12, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Because it's been open for 56 years I'm having a hard time finding recent articles about it, it hasn't done anything recently(in the past year or so) that required media attention, although I have seen newspaper stories a while back, I havent been able to find any online. Also custard stands don't get "major news coverage"...it's not major news when a business is selling custard so that's why it's been quite hard to find, but I do know that it's a landmark in Duncansville and I'm doing my best to find credible sources.
  • Weak Delete — Not a huge number of Ghits. Needs sources which assert the notability of the subject Martinp23 15:36, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep The chain has been around for over fifty years, so it must be somewhat popular. Zagalejo 19:46, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak delete per above, opinion may change pending notability-asserting sources. --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 20:19, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Ben. Baseball,Baby! balls•strikes 20:40, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Regional chains are notable. Article does need better sourcing. Rohirok 21:35, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Notability not established. wikipediatrix 23:54, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Ben, Sizzlenuts, Zagalejo, and Rohirok. --HResearcher 00:42, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - A good clean article about a chain with at least 12 locations, I'd say that deserves an article. Could use a few more blue links, but this is much better than most 2 day old articles by far. --Daniel Olsen 01:02, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
