Kool Korners Grocery[edit]

As notable as a primary school. Dunc|☺ 18:29, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It's not a major local landmark like The Varsity, but it is a bonafide minor local landmark. I found about 200 hits each on AltaVista, Google, and Yahoo, including some reviews from non-locals. --Eoghanacht 18:40, 2005 August 2 (UTC) (article author)
- Note: my Google search listed only 83 hits and omitted all but 21 as redundant. Of these 21, I found only 6 individuals talking about Kool Korners: 1 professional writer (Sylvia Cross), three guys who go around reviewing Cuban restaurants, and four instances of Message Board mentions. The rest are city/restaurant directories. I don't see that the notability test has been passed. Delete --Bayyoc 19:30, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

When malls and shops are not generally notable [1], then this surely is not. Delete. feydey 20:40, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I might be persuaded to Keep if article were expanded to show notability as a major landmark, but otherwise I'm inclined to Delete. --Alan Au 21:02, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not notable. --Carnildo 22:46, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete in its current state. Needs expansion to show that it is more notable. — Linnwood ^(talk) 23:41, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete nn restaurant vanity. --Etacar11 00:46, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete from Wikipedia (as per arguments above), but by all means move to WikiTravel(although I can't do it myself as the license is different - but the original author could do so...). It's nice writing. JesseW 05:07, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The article has been expanded since being placed on VfD. Also see its talk page. --Eoghanacht 17:55, 2005 August 3 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but to me, what you've written looks like a POV restaurant review. It just doesn't seem encyclopedic to me. --Etacar11 18:07, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

As with Alan Au and Etacar11, I would be more favourably inclinded to keep this if it were written in an NPOV encyclopedic style that gave evidence of its importance. I'm in favor of "local landmarks" of significance and have written on three myself (check my user page), but its crucial to stay as NPOV as possible to demonstrate that an encyclopedic article can be written about it (certainly not true for most stores -- where I live now is a wonderful, excellent cafe with a great community, but it's not proper for an article.) Local media coverage above and beyond restaurant reviews are important, e.g.. Good luck re-writing it in time to pass the VfD. For now, abstain. Sdedeo 01:02, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
