Speedy Deletion Nomination
A user proposed that this article be speedily deleted. Here is my response.


 * Gert7, I appreciate you noticing the article I wrote last night, but am not sure why you proposed Whoa Nellie Deli for speedy deletion, as the article I wrote included no promotional material from the restaurant itself or even paraphrases of such material. Instead, I used neutral language and relied on quotations from 7 reliable sources to establish notability.  Those included the New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Los Angeles Times and the San Diego Union-Tribune.  These aren't just home town blurbs.  Quoting relaible sources is not advertising.  I also quoted national magazines like Gourmet and The Atlantic. As a point of fact, I have no connection with the restaurant other than as a satisfied customer.  Did you actually read the article and look at the references that clearly establish notability?  Fortunately, someone else disagreed with your proposal and removed the flag.  I am sure that you acted in good faith but am curious as to your reasoning.  Thank you.
