 * Weak Keep. It appears the actual name of the establishment is Andy Nelson's "Southern Pit Barbecue." I agree much of the news coverage regarding this establishment is local or incidental. But there some examples from the Baltimore Sun that could be used to better support this article. Such as an article written shortly after the Baltimore Ravens superbowl win in 2001.On the counter of his barbecue restaurant in Hunt Valley yesterday, Andy Nelson displayed the best of both eras: a replica of a winged raven perched atop a Colts helmet."It seemed appropriate," said Nelson, an All-Pro defensive back on the Colts' title teams of the '50s.  A brief review in the John Hopkins newsletter. "...My most recent restaurant love is Andy Nelson's BBQ in Cockeysville. The founder, Mr. Nelson himself, played for the Baltimore Colts from '57 to '63 as a safety. Luckily for us, Nelson had more talents than just football. A southerner by origin, he had learned how to make delicious and tender barbecued meats in all sorts of styles. As a stalwart Northerner, I was only vaguely aware that so many defined styles existed in the world of BBQ. Andy Nelson's offers a little of each, while perfecting every dish..."More incidental and passing mentions such as a story on Hurricane Isabel"The biggest disappointment, though, is the loss of her favorite caterer - Andy Nelson's Southern Pit Barbecue."It is so good," Molly said, "Their motto is, 'If you haven't had Andy's, you haven't had barbecue.' And they are right ... I so much wanted Andy's." AtaruMoroboshi (talk) 14:30, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep a relatively minor local institution in a major city, and the sourcing is there. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  15:26, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. It is notable based on the owner.  Notability is not inherited.  Vegaswikian (talk) 03:22, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment So do you consider it notable or not? Your statement seems to say, "It is notable, though notability is not inherited." AtaruMoroboshi (talk) 14:24, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
