Extended advertisement for a food vending stand (?) in Midtown Manhattan. Article is almost entirely sourced to a website for the stand. Nominated for deletion years ago when the article's name was "Chicken and Rice" (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chicken and Rice); result was "delete" but article was re-created under current name. Insufficient multiple nontrivial coverage in sources unconnected to subject matter. ScottyBerg (talk) 21:30, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Same food, with different nomenclature, the article use blogs to source some statements, but even in these blogs such information is not provided. Eduemoni^↑talk↓ 23:26, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: poorly sourced trivia in local sources. No indication of "significant coverage". Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 07:08, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Sources provided do not establish notability for inclusion on WP. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 08:11, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong keep This is very issue with wikipedia. None of the delete nomination suggest that any research was done. The notability of the cart extends far beyond New York City, also what is notable locally in NYC pulls vastly more weight than something notable in a small town. If something is notable it deserves an article regardless of what it is, and yes a food cart can in fact be notable. Valoem ^talk 20:03, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I do not see the significant coverage required - the articles mention the cart in a single sentence each. There is exaggeration ("There is a student club at New York University dedicated to the food cart" is patently false from the source cited, which states the club is dedicated to the dish, not the cart - the cart gets a single-sentence mention - "When you're in line at any of these carts, especially the world-renowned 53rd and Sixth Avenue cart, you notice a melting pot of people from all sorts of backgrounds."). I fail to see that this business meets the criteria for inclusion PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 23:26, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
