Gesine Confectionary and Gourmet Market[edit]

It's a cake/coffeeshop owned by Sandra Bullock's sister -em.. that's it. NN - might require a line in Sandra's article but that's about it. Fredrick day 20:44, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Mmm...spam pastry. Clarityfiend 21:41, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • This sounds like the modern-day equivalent of, "George Washington slept here." (Or maybe John Stamos' brother when he appeared in an episode of South Park.) I don't see any notability for the shop, or any notability in the career of Sandra Bullock and her family, so delete this one. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 03:11, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • As creator, keep This is a store which is known nationwide. Come on: here's an excerpt from one article about it. "I first went into the shop out of curiosity, as many people did. The P.R. for the store's opening day was national — Gesine's sister, Sandra Bullock was giving out free macaroons..." (located here As the article says, the P.R. was national. I drove past this store on the opening, and there were hundreds, if not thousands of people lined up all along Elm Street to get into this place. Some of the websites, magazines, etc. which ran this story or at least mentioned the store: AskMen.com [], USA Today [1], Yankee Magazine [2], MSNBC.com [3], and International Herald Tribune [4]. I know, media coverage isn't necessarily notability, but this is not spam (no, not even tasty spam), this is a big thing in Montpelier, indeed, all of Vermont. We have a defined lack of famous people, and this is about as close as we get (barring Martin St. Louis). It's not spam, and I don't believe it's not notable. Bmrbarre 22:02, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
the first article is a dressed up blog post so doesn't count and most of the other coverage is about how Sandra Bullock worked in the shop on it's opening day - so in actual fact, the coverage is trival because the store is secondary to the fact that Sandra Bullock worked there for a shift to promote it. --Fredrick day 22:47, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached

  • Delete. Fails WP:CORP, as news coverage is merely incidental and does not establish notability. Note that the first two references in the notes are to somewhat different rewrites of the same AP report. Deor 19:23, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom & pastry spam. --Evb-wiki 19:27, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete Spam or not, this is not really notable enough, with fairly trivial coverage and an attempt at inherited notability. Adrian M. H. 16:24, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Notable. Harmless. Culinary and style articles still written. Tourists from miles around visit.DrM 13:50, 10 June 2007 (UTC)there is no user Drake M - this is IP address 69.235.10.190 who's only edit is to this AFD. --Fredrick day 21:24, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Note that the signatures of User:Adrian M. H. and this Drake M. are the exact same, and that they both have an M. in there. Some newbie probably came along and copied Adrian's sig and name. Just a theory, though.
  • Keep - not mind blowingly notable but enough there, with sources. TerriersFan 04:07, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I agree with the assertion that its notability is trivial. The place's opening was a publicity stunt, the coverage is minute, and the shop itself is not notable enough to warrant an article. Information about the shop and Bullock's sister can be merged, I suppose. María (habla conmigo) 12:27, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Perhaps this should become a section in an article on Gesine Bullock-Prado. She not only owns this shop, but she (with her sis) is the owner of Fortis Films, which is responsible for The George Lopez Show, Hope Floats, and the Miss Congeniality duo IMDb. I think that I could get enough information together to make an article on Bullock-Prado featuring this. I am userfying the current version of Gesine just to make sure I have a backup copy. Would any of those who voted in favor of delete be satisfied with this proposal? Ben
  • Comment I didn't vote either way, but I'd support Ben's proposal, since her non-bakery related work will have coverage, in the same way that the article on Cathy Rogers includes details of her (non-notable) olive farm — iridescent (talk to me!) 21:28, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. No notability asserted. Indrian 09:05, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
