Copy and paste from List of Michelin starred restaurants, without attribution or history. Not a split, just a copy. Duplication Detector Night of the Big Wind _talk 21:51, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete -- not inherently notable as a desirable list by itself; contra List of Michelin three starred restaurants at the highest level. Bearian (talk) 20:53, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:27, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to the original article, if there is no additional content. If more information is added, a split may be useful, but it's possible that a better way of splitting the list would be by country. Peter E. James (talk) 01:00, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As per Bearian. This is a completely non-notable list, and it seems like an advertisement for Michelin, too. And Adoil Descended (talk) 19:47, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Noting User:Moonriddengirl/Copyright in lists and the recently closed deletion at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_Core_Collection_albums_in_The_Penguin_Guide_to_Jazz, I wonder if lists of Michelin-starred restaurants are in the same position?

Delete: My gut feeling is that the selection of two-star items, being more dark art than illuminated mathematics, is original enough to attract copyright. The "Distribution" summary section can be upmerged to Michelin Guide. The part of the article that matches the title is clearly just (incomplete) repetition of something already published elsewhere, and Michelin's discression(?) about what items fall into what category seems to be a work of human originality by (for copyright purposes) Michelin. The two links AllyD gave above illustrate the point. (I can see Bearian's view that this list is not especially notable, since it's basically a list of "second bests"; though, from what I've read about the Michelin guides, two stars is still fairly prestigious; even a 1-star mark is only given to those that Michelin considers far more desirable than a typical restaurant, at least in theory.) --Closeapple (talk) 08:35, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
delete: the original article of Michelin starred restaurants covers this; redirect and improve that article instead.--Karl.brown (talk) 12:55, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
