[edit] Should this be changed to The River Café (London)?

I was looking for information on the The River Café in Brooklyn but this stupid London café comes up. The River Café (London) would be better and the one in Brooklyn could be The River Café (Brooklyn) since having The River Café go to the London café shows a British bias, when a page giving users an option of both would be better!

This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. Vegaswikian 00:16, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Not sure about this, how many of the others have Michelin stars? At the moment, they have neither articles, nor any appreciable notability. Perhaps the other restaurants also have had TV series? Perhaps the complainant looking for the Brooklyn restaurant should have consulted a restaurant guide, rather than an encyclopaedia? There's no evident bias, it remains about notability and prime usage. There seems to be a tendency to move these pages without actually reading the articles.

Whilst Souvigny is being over-dramatic, the NYC River Cafe is pretty notable - albeit for the view more than the food. I think it's safe to say it's not as notable in the London restaurant (not least because the London restaurant has an international reputation and the NYC restaurant does not), but it's a significant enough place that the renaming probably does make sense.

I'd say this should be the original name with a link to a disamb page - at the moment with only red links on it, note. If this article were better written, I might care to press the point - but it isn't. I think there is more a point of principle here that says we don't actually move stuff unless we need to, moving the notable use to make room for a redlinked disamb page is not sufficient reason.
