Normandy Cafeteria[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This restaurant which operated between 1922 and 1939 does not appear to be notable. The only sources are primary, and simply confirm its establishment and eventual demise. I can't find any more information about the restaurant, although a Charles Conterno (possibly the same person as the Normandy's chef/owner) ran a carousel in Central Park from the 1950s through the '70s.

Delete - everything I could find seems to be based on this WP article, which itself is based only on primary sources and personal opinion. Never a good sign. Longevity in the face of hardship is not a notability criteria, especially since no secondary source seems to have suggested that is what happened. Without significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, this fails WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:GNG. St★lwart¹¹¹ 00:39, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - this is a non-notable, even run of the mill, restaurant. It could be notable, if there were famous "regulars", menu, or staff, but I don't see that here. The fact that it survived as a business in the first dip of the Great Depression is not at all notable by itself. Literally thousands of businesses and people survived the first part, only to succumb to the second dip, the infamous Recession of 1937–38. Bearian (talk) 15:56, 24 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
