Heart Attack Grill, King Simrin, Secret menu

Set of ads for a Phoenix restaurant. Author (based on name, the owner) has also added links into numerous articles like Fast food advertising ([1]), Hamburger ([2]), and Theme restaurant ([3]). I don't see any indication this restaurant meets WP:CORP, and the series of articles (especially creating an article on their fastest burger eater) strikes me as WP:SPAM. -- Fan-1967 03:50, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Heart Attack Grill was the subject of:

a front page story with picture in Arizona's second largest circulated newspaper the East Valley Tribune on Dec 2 2005

a one page story in the Wrangler News in early Feb 2006
a one page story in College Times Magazine on Feb 23, 2006
a pictorial feature story entitled 'Cheesburger in Paradise' in the July 12, 2006 eddition of the nationally circulated ADVERTISEMENT AGE MAGAZINE

Delete all with relish and a pickle (a guy who can eat a hamburger really fast? get the f**k out of here!). --Charlesknight 12:52, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree, seems like they're desperate for publicity. After reading the article Secret menu I immediately thought that it wasn't so "secret", the "rumour" they had a "Quadruple bypass" was probably started by the restaurant's owner, immediately after inventing the dish in question. But all this makes me hungry for hamburgers. If you're ever in Kamppi, make sure to visit Pitaco at the back end of the Tennispalatsi. The "El Presidente burger" is delicious. But I still wouldn't be writing an article about it. JIP | Talk 20:22, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all per above; of purely local interest. - Smerdis of Tlön 13:56, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all no demonstrated notability outside of minor local coverage.--Isotope23 20:03, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all - fail WP:CORP, pass WP:SPAM, fail WP:N and WP:RS. Crum375 21:51, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Top delete this top commercial material. Good quality adv though. But certainly not encyclopaedic. Now for the irrelevant part of my vote : vandalizing the nomination is a no-no. Can't help dreming of a delete on sight whatever the content. This really IMO is an absolut no-no. I can't stand it.A purple wikiuser 21:55, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and clean up the Heart Attack Grill article (passes WP:CORP with multiple non-trivial references), and delete the other two per the comments above. Yamaguchi先生 00:00, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

At this point in time, I don't see a single verifiable reference of any kind. In addition, for WP:CORP you need non-trivial works that cover the business; in the restaurant business, given that local papers typically cover virtually all local eateries, we normally require national non-advertizing review articles to prove notability and justify WP inclusion. I just don't see that here yet. Crum375 00:19, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete because it fails WP:CORP, since it has multiple TRIVIAL references - purely local coverage doesn't count. So, what about other measures? Is this place widely known? Oft-referenced in popular culture? Award-winning? A verified pioneer in some area of business? Historically important? Nope, nope, nope, nope, and nope. --Calton | Talk 04:31, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
