Not notable enough. Why don't we have an article for every diner in America? Hghyux (talk to me)(talk to others) 18:22, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep It's got a bit more than your average diner, from the look of it. The article's not spammy, and it's got refs. (This is from someone who starts reaching for the 'delete' button at the sight of 'diner' or 'restaurant'...) Peridon (talk) 18:58, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Agree with Peridon. PRRfan (talk) 20:59, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Per my nomination. Hghyux (talk to me)(talk to others) 21:19, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Crossed out your !vote. The nomination counts as a !vote for delete. Feel free to continue continue adding to the discussion, but please don't !vote twice. MisterRichValentine ^(talk) 01:58, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep--not per Peridon, but because Peridon says so. Peridon doesn't say keep often in these AfDs. Also, subject appears to be notable because of the coverage it has received. Drmies (talk) 03:12, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Any diner that has had 5 million customers just has to be notable. I added a couple of photos: one showing the sign and one of their version of lobster pie. Geoff ^{Who, me?} 17:17, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  Comment It's just a diner! Who cares how many customers it has had? Is there a magic number that makes a diner notable? Lots of places get media coverage similar to this place and they don't have articles! Not to mention that the article is written like an ad too. I can't believe that you guys are all saying keep to a diner Family restaurants are just not notable. Period. Hghyux (talk to me)(talk to others) 20:13, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Justified by refs. You'd have to see it to believe it. After decades, it still has SRO crowds waiting to get in. It's like any famous restaurant, except that it is a diner. But reliable citations are essential and they are there. Student7 (talk) 23:45, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
