From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A tag has been placed on Leatherby's, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Tonywalton  | Talk 14:03, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually no, Be bold is nowhere near the number one rule. The number one rules are these. And the "rule" under which the Leatherby's article was deleted is, as the text above says, this. The difference between Leatherby's and Chili's is that Chili's is a large chain while Leatherby's appears to be a single restaurant. If you can provide verifiable reasons why Leatherby's is notable in Wikipedia terms please do re-create the article. Please remember though that Wikipedia is not a directory; your comment in the edit summary that the article was created "because it's a classic old-time restaurant, hard to find those on the road" appears to mean that the article was created as a an entry in a directory of restaurants (apologies if I've misunderstood that). One finl thing, please remember to "sign" your entries on talk pages (though not in articles) by placing ~~~~ at the end. Regards, Tonywalton  | Talk 11:22, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
