Keep - Its claim to notability, being the first fast food chain to be vegetarian (if verified at least), is a pretty significant first, and could establish notability on its own. Also, I found a number of sources that discuss the chain, such as this article by Ecorazzi. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 01:02, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. Fails WP:GNG easily. Searched and all sources found on the subject are primary sources/social media or minor blog reviews. Article is written in the style of an advertisement. Gm545 (talk) 05:28, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ecorazzi at least appears to be reliable though; a number of Wikipedia articles use it as a source. And while some of the other sources I found are indeed unreliable blogs, they seem to verify that the restaurant is the first vegetarian fast-food chain at least in Asia, which is a relatively strong claim to notability.

Comment. If there were reliable sources that stated VeganBurg was the first vegetarian fast-food chain in Asia, that MIGHT be grounds for notability. However, as you've mentioned there aren't any. As for Ecorazzi, if that did pass the reliability test, that alone wouldn't be enough to give VeganBurg sufficient widespread coverage. Gm545 (talk) 04:17, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Notability hasn't been established via independent sources, and the article is egregiously promotional in tone. JSFarman (talk) 01:29, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
