Texas de Brazil[edit]

Article is blatant advertorial; has been flagged as such for months, to no avail. If the advert-like text was removed, very little would be left of the article apart from lists and infoboxes, hence proposing deletion rather than cleaning it up, as that would leave only a sub-stub that merely listed the restuarant and its branches, and Wikipedia is not a business directory.

Some evidence of notability (referred to in lots of restuarant guides, generally with good reviews), otherwise would simply nominate for speedy deletion -- even so, may still be deletable on those grounds alone if more verifiable direct coverage of it as primary topic cannot be found. -- The Anome (talk) 14:15, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Very notable restaurant chain in the United States. Covered in reliable sources. Candleabracadabra (talk) 03:29, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
keep remove the adverspam, but even as a stub, the restaurant is very notable. Tons of reviews in restaurant guides https://www.google.com/search?q=texas+de+brazil&oq=texas+de+brazil&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l2j0l2j69i60.2595j0j7&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8#q=texas+de+brazil&tbm=bks Gaijin42 (talk) 18:30, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Note - Reviews do not establish notability, only verifiability. This is because they fall under WP:Routine, that is reviews are standard fare in just about every local periodical - regardless of the source.

Keep - Passes WP:CORPDEPTH. Source examples include: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. Many more sources exist about this restaurant chain. Northamerica1000^(talk) 11:20, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
