Talk:Becky's Diner

It passed an AfD no consensus? Really!
Really? Do you have a link to the voting page I could see? I do not see any notablity at all? How soon is it kosher to nom again? - Gl e n  TC (Stollery)  15:41, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * The vote is linked. It easily meets the guidelines at WP:CORP.  If you horribly disagree, take it to deletion review, don't waste people's time w/another AfD. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 15:47, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Not sure how an AfD wastes peoples time as voting is voluntary but no I definitely wouldn't reading your reply, I wasn't sure hence why I asked when it would be Kosher. I somewhat disagree that it easily meets WP:CORP - one uncited published mention, a website rating of 2 stars, and one tv "spot" does not equate to "been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works" especially as we cannot see the alledged magazine "spread" (could well be an advertorial for example). The website does not even qualify for an Alexa ranking and 260 unique google hits kinda wipe the multiple published works theory in my mind. However, the people have spoken and I am obviously in the minority, so this is all I shall say henceforth on the matter. Thanks for taking the time to reply too, appreciated :) - Gl e n  TC (Stollery)  16:18, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * You might want to actually check the debate at the AfD. It's not "one uncited published rating" and "one tv 'spot.'"  WP:CORP's guidelines indicate "multiple media mentions," and it easily, easily passed that guideline.  You're actually not in the minority in a strict up-or-down vote, the issue is the standards set forth by the community. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 16:29, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * But you see I shouldn't HAVE to go read other pages - my argument is about the worthyness of THIS article - it mentions a website review of 2 stars, a mention in Gourmet magazine which, now I have read the AfD actually was not a "spread" at all but rather "a Roadfood" column...at backroads diners and other vernacular places." and a "spot" on a tv show. If there are in fact hundreds of articles on the diner then why on earth aren't they mentioned in the article? To be honest, this is how it reads to me
 * ''"A mother of 6 thinks fishermen need a place to eat opens a diner - and even added new hours. Known for breakfast and inexpensive dinners. Once had a "spread" in Gourmet magazine (apparent exaggeration), a 2 star internet review and a spot on a cooking show. Bobby Brown, Tipper Gore, and Hillary Clinton have eaten there before (uncited)."


 * sorry but I don't think Britannica will be banging on our door looking to follow our lead. Again, I don't want to argue, but your claim of "multiple media mentions," seems rather redundant when I am looking at an article that states quite the opposite. Just my $0.02. - Gl e n  TC (Stollery)  16:46, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * So we need to add the media mentions to further expand the articles. Sounds good to me. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 17:11, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
