Talk:D.P. Dough

Contested speedy deletion
D.P. Dough meets the general notability guideline because multiple, independent reliable sources offer enough information about the subject matter to write a useful encyclopedia article. For purposes of generating the current (stub) content, some self-pub sources were used for noncontroversial details, including the names of persons involved in the business, the year of founding, etc. This article does not meet the criteria for CSD A7, because the article does currently offer credible claims of significance, that the subject business is present in over twenty college markets, and that it is the only national calzone chain. Additionally, the business asserts in its logo/brand mark and elsewhere that it is "the original calzone company." (This claim to some significance is not yet addressed in the article, other than by the appearance of the company logo). This organization has attracted attention from local newspapers in essentially all of the markets where it is present, including in a number of sources not yet included in this stub. While an article should assert the the subject matter's significance, a subject's notability should be determined by the sources available, not merely those currently used in an article that is still being developed.
