Crabby Bill's
Hi, Pjenkins. I saw your comment about Hooters on the page Talk:Crabby bill's but I thought I would respond here on your user talk page. (That other page may be deleted soon as it is a talk page for a deleted article.)

You are correct that Hooters does have a Wikipedia entry. The difference, which I think you will see if you take a close look at that entry, is that the article on Hooters is written from a neutral point of view. It talks about the restaurant and the corporation, but it is not written like an advertisement. The page you created on Crabby Bill's was tagged and deleted because it was written like an ad. One other problem you may have is with notability. Generally speaking, your restaurant would are only considered notable enough to have article if it has "been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company or corporation itself." Hooters is a very large chain restaurant that has had a lot of third-party and media coverage. I don't know if the same is true of Crabby Bill's.

None of this is to say that you don't have a fine restaurant - and the next time I'm in the Tampa area, I'll be sure to look you up - it's just to say that your fine restaurant, like many others, may not be notable enough for a wikipedia article. Please remember that this is an encyclopedia, and not a directory.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them here and I'll do my best to respond. - Eron Talk 19:50, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
