The result was keep after sources and notability were added. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 16:24, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Extreme Pizza (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

Unsourced article about a chain of 30pizza restaurants. No assertion of meeitng WP:CORP, no evidence of those multiple non-trivial independent sources we all like to see. Oh, and it sells "sandwhiches" - which is of course why you never starve in the desert. Guy (Help!) 11:00, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Delete - no evidence of multiple coverage in third-party sources to establish notability per WP:CORP. Delete unless sourced by the end of this AfD. Walton ^{Vivat Regina!} 11:40, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • This comment was made prior to the revision of the article (see diff). -- Black Falcon 07:55, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep as appropriate sources have now been demonstrated per WP:CORP. Walton ^{Vivat Regina!} 08:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - I'm quite sure this can meet WP:CORP. A Google News archive search turns up about 169 hits for "extreme pizza" - of course, some of these are trivial, or about a different company. But this Seattle Times article, for example, (which describes the chain as "hottest pizza franchise in the West") seems to fulfill the notability criterion in WP:CORP. schi ^talk 22:55, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep, with this link here and the Seattle Times article, there seems to be enough meat for a decent super-stub. hateless 00:30, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I have added a number of sources to the article, specified instances when it has been recognised, and generally expanded the stub. It should satisfy WP:N now. Oh, and one other thing: there is no need to make fun of the editor who misspelled "sandwiches" -- it happens. -- Black Falcon 02:41, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete. The added refs are pretty weak, in my opinion -- local business papers and local restaurant reviews really don't cut it -- and unless something stronger shows up, it's down to the trivial WSJ bit and the number-crunching of Inc.. Also, the pizza? Not so extreme. --Calton | Talk 07:11, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Could you please clarify your argument? The sources themselves are reliable even though the newspapers are not that notable. However, WP:N does not require that sources themselves be notable; it is about the subject of an article only. Thank you, Black Falcon 07:58, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • That's pretty much hairsplitting if I've ever heard it. Since these are all local newspapers whose coverage boils down to "Hey, lookit this new pizza place what just opened", that's pretty much testifying to the non-notability of the business is if that's the only sort of media coverage that can be dredged up. --Calton | Talk 06:15, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
