Beppi's restaurant[edit]

Non-notable restaurant. Mr. Vernon (talk) 01:44, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep This might actually be worth improving. This article calls it "a Sydney institution", and there are several mentions in non-Australian sources, like the New York Times (second hit at Google News). Beppi Polese is listed in 1001 Australians You Should Know, whatever that is. Zagalejo^^^ 04:06, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As the creator of the article was User:Marc Polese (and shares a last name with the restauranteur), I'm slapping a COI tag on this. --Mr. Vernon (talk) 04:27, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead, though there's nothing explicitly promotional in the article as it stands. Zagalejo^^^ 04:32, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Two page story in Sydney Morning Herald. I fixed the links for the sources. Fifty year old restaurant. "Patrons are known to have been disgusted by tardy service and indifference by the apathetic staff," was not a rave review. But This place is notable per substantial coverage. Also, there's a notable book about Beppi. This is definitely a keep. Needs to be expanded.ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:29, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Place was the subject of multiple notable publications satisfying WP:GNG. COI is not a reason to delete. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:55, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, appears to be non-notable. If every diner that got a review in a paper was notable this Project would get overwhelmed --50 years or not. New York City alone would cause a deluge. None of those sources prove otherwise, including the book review of a book that the owner self-authored. It might be a good book, but it does nothing to demonstrate why the restaurant is any more notable. If this is kept, can I list the local sandwich place I go to for lunch? It has more reviews than this place and I like it. --Bobak (talk) 19:54, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If your local sandwich shop gets a two page write up in a large newspaper, has a book about the owner's history, and has other substantial media coverage, yes. :) I'm partial to prosciutto and roasted red pepper Italian sandwiches. What's the place got? ChildofMidnight (talk) 22:20, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Strongly mentioned in a biography "Beppi: A Life in Three Courses", over a dozen other mentions in books that may be useful and a sufficiency of news articles. Seems to be ample to write a well-reference, neutral and readable article...which is all that the guidelines seek to achieve - Peripitus (Talk) 07:54, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
