Unremarkable restaurant. No significant coverage other than restaurant reviews in local media. Zanhe (talk) 19:07, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:PRODUCTREV and WP:AUD (and as article creator, sure). Mama Lu's Dumpling House#References has multiple, independent, significant, and reliable reviews from at least one regional...source...unless the greater LA area, Southern California, the San Gabriel Valley are not regions.

Weak keep Certainly a good number of reviews that meet WP:PRODUCTREV, and seems well written about. The part I'm not so sure about is WP:AUD...I'd like to see better non-local coverage. Also, for as many sources as there is, the article is still just a stub. That signals to me that some of those sources are maybe not so high quality, or that they have useful content that should be added to the article.

Keep - I write regularly about restaurants and this restaurant passes "my test" for WP:BASIC WP:PRODUCTREV, etc.. References include - note, they have TWO locations:

"Chinese food and dumplings for every taste at Mama’s in San Gabriel" from the San Gabriel Valley Tribune
"Fire Engine Slams Into and Destroys Lu Dumpling House" from Eater
"Seven Foods To Celebrate The Chinese New Year And Where To Get Them In L.A." from Southern California Public Radio
an article about where to eat in the San Gabriel Valley from The Los Angeles Times (I've met my free access for the month and I'm too lazy to find it in newspapers.com right now)
"The 8 Best Soup Dumpling Shops In Los Angeles" from Southern California Public Radio
"Where To Find LA's Best Chinese Soup Dumplings" from Eater
"Fire truck crash victim to get $15M settlement from Alhambra, Monterey Park" from Pasadena Star-News
"Mama Lu's Dumpling House works overtime to meet Lunar New Year demand" from KPCC
