Completely promotional. Local popularity is not the same as notability, and "among the top 20 coffee shops in Portland" is a pretty faint claim of significance. ubiquity (talk) 18:50, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep (disclosure: article creator). If there are problems with this article in terms of promotional language, then let's discuss on the article's talk page, but this company has been discussed by Condé Nast Traveler, Portland Monthly, The New York Times, Serious Eats, Thrillist ("Top 10 Cofee Roasters in the Nation..."), etc., so I don't think notability is a problem. I was attempting to describe the company's reception, but perhaps came across too promotional in doing so. I've posted additional sources for expanding the article on the talk page. ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:20, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Many sources, some with significant coverage or notable features of this company, listed at Talk:Heart Coffee Roasters. And being in a list of the top 20 coffee shops in Portland is impressive. I found a source that said there were over 2,500 coffee shops in the Portland metro area, so being listed in the top 1% in a place that takes its coffee very seriously should not be dismissed out of hand. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:54, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - passes GNG. "Local popularity is not the same as notability"? Local popularity leads to notability, perhaps. --Tagishsimon (talk) 07:41, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Needs a major rewrite, but this article is not completely promotional, and has some actual notable content. Margalob (talk) 13:51, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
