Stage Deli

Notability is not inherited from its customers and I see no reason to keep this article about one of New york's 4,000,000 delis. Caligirl1981 (talk) 20:34, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Reliable sources have written about it, so it's notable. --Eastmain (talk) 22:55, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The notability of the customers doesn't come into it. The fact that all of those reliable sources have written about the deli makes it notable. And, by the way, is that 4,000,000 figure verifiable? Phil Bridger (talk) 22:17, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, just a deli. Any deli could have famous customers. Customers doesn't make it notable and it's been closed by the Board of Health. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Standatoms1985 (talk • contribs) 04:34, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Yes, it was briefly closed by the Board of Health and a major newspaper from thousands of miles away chose to publish an article about the fact. Does that happen with all the other thousands of restaurants that get closed in the same way? Phil Bridger (talk) 08:38, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, although most deli's would not qualify, this one seems to have made a name for itself, with verifiable sources pointing to its fame. bd2412 T 05:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Keep, with creator bias. I created the stub, so obviously I think there's good reason for it to exist. The nom raises a good point about the deli's notability stemming from its customers but as an inanimate object, notability has to come from somewhere. Do I think the stub needs fleshing out? Absolutely. Do I think that's reason for it to be deleted? Nope. I think the deli is an important landmark in the Theater District and while fame!notability, I think it lends to it in this case. Am always open for suggestions on how to improve it, etc., but I think it's a valid stub. TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 12:52, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep One of NYC's probably 4 or so most important remaining delis; even at the height of things, there were never 4 million. DGG (talk) 04:16, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - yes, verifiability is established. EJF (talk) 20:30, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is a landmark along with a few other delis in the city. It is the subject of may pieces on TV. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:13, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
