A&A Bake & Double and Roti Shop

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The restaurant seems to only have one location in New York and all the coverage of it seems trivial except for a New York Times article. A few sources are about how it won some award, but according to WP:NCORP a company winning an award does not establish notability on its own. Adamant1 (talk) 10:18, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete no evidence of any notability. Being one of five winners of a non-notable award is hardly a claim to fame. Fails WP:GNG   Velella  Velella Talk  20:14, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. James Beard is hardly a non-notable award, and the restaurant has been the subject of significant and sustained coverage in reliable sources (i.e. WP:GNG) well before winning that prestigious award: "A Legendary Caribbean Snack Shop Ups the Ante" (Eater; 2018) "A Caribbean Outpost in Brooklyn" (NY Times; 2014) "All About Doubles" (Eater Video; 2015) The Slow Food Guide to New York City (2003) "Longtime business owners see an upside to gentrification" (Crain's; 2017).

 * Keep: The Crain's New York Business link posted by Pburka is an excellent reliable source; I added it to the article and made some changes. Also, The New York Times article called it "famous". :) I think the quality of the sources indicates notability. -- Toughpigs (talk) 17:27, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
 * "Famous" and, according to Robert Sietsema, "legendary!" Pburka (talk) 22:24, 15 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep: It has enough references on trusted news websites. The New York Times is a good article written by Elizabeth Flock.  D My Son  10:58, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
