Eggslut[edit]

I came across this article when it was in this state rather than what I turned it into. I cannot find any sources that suggest that this dish or this food truck are notable. It seems to have been featured as a fad in Japan, which explains why it has a page at ja.wp (ja:エッグスラット), but their standards of inclusion are lower than ours (and the article seems to be a cross-translation of some sort). —Ryūlóng (琉竜) 21:14, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - In the US, it verifiably has a store in LA. This store has been referenced multiple times in various sources, but I'm not certain how many are reliable; [1][2][3][4]. It also got quite a hefty piece in The Independent, which is definitely an RS; I think this place meets GNG just based on the English sources, let alone anything to do with the Japanese side of the fad. It probably needs indefinite semi-protection though, just due to the name and the amount of vandalism it already receives. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 22:28, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
keep with the independent there are multiple sources from different countries that have covered significant aspects of the restaurant. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 22:34, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- also recognition by Bon Appetit as one of top 10 new restaurants of the year. [5] -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 22:24, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, it's a fad *scream* The truck is here! brb buying one :p.--AldNon^Ucallin?☎ 17:46, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Half of those are blogs. I think. Never heard of Latte.la before, but I know naver is just an aggregator.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 22:14, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I think an issue here is that are we going to use the article to talk about the restaurant or the dish that people in Japan have named after the restaurant based on its signature dish?—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 02:12, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would say that we could cover both, since it is a signature dish. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 10:02, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
But the dish is just "The Slut". They turned it into "eggslut" in Japan.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 10:12, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. In my opinion, coverage in CBS News, the New York Times, The Independent, and being listed as one of the top ten new restaurants in the nation pretty much ensures notability. --Biblioworm 17:07, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It's the Eggslut. It sells eggsluts. It's also a fairly famous restaurant producing something that's apparently popular enough to pop up in Japan. We could do with a separate article on the dish, but that's kind of irrelevant in this discussion. অমিত talk 01:34, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't sell eggsluts. It sells "The Slut", which has become known in Japan as an "eggslut" per some international genericisation.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:34, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I know, but that ruins the joke. অমিত talk 18:00, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
