Deprodded with rationale "42 restaurants; take to AfD". I don't think the size matters, and anyway it just indicates it is a medium-sized company, nothing encyclopedic here. No sources, I don't see anything except press-release like business as usual mentions or such.

Strong Delete for this article per the reasons given by the nominator. Ernestchuajiasheng (talk) 10:26, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. We've had the size-doesn't-matter deletion arguments before. They're not convincing and they haven't been convincing in previous AfDs. In my opinion, a chain of 46 restaurants (as it now appears to have) is significant enough in its market to qualify for an article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:32, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There is a bit more information on the chain in the German Wikipedia article. Doing a gBook search, I was able to find a mention going back to 1985, unfortunately because the book predates the internet, little is visible in the snippet view. And then there's a discussion of the acquisition of the chain here. And, because it is a German chain, there is reference material available only in German. Sure, the article can use some work, but I think the subject meets WP:GNG. Geoff | ^{Who, me?} 21:53, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep there's enough reference in the sources by Glane23 to show meeeting GNG. Running for over 40 years, having over 40 chains will surely get them coverage. Alo another thing important is Germany-related topic generally have fewer ources in English and more in German. So google searching with English name will not give the true picture–Ammarpad (talk)
Keep -- a significant chain in Germany. According to this source:

"According to ECM data, Maredo currently employs around 1,500 people in 46 steakhouses and, together with Block House, is the leading steak house chain in Germany."

It's a credible claim of significance and sufficient sources very likely exist in German. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:26, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
