Baristas

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Minor start-up that, from all appearances, is heading downhill. Other than a burst of publicity a few years ago for having bikini-clad baristas, there's been no real coverage, and even the fact that the company shut down all of its locations had to be sourced from a press release.

 * Notes:
 * the press release: "Baristas Coffee Co. Shutters All Retail Locations, Going Wholesale & Direct"
 * company HQ: according to the company web site and Google Maps, company HQ is a house in the Seattle suburb of Kenmore. --Calton | Talk 03:24, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment. If nothing else, this article is outdated, since the company no longer has any retail stores (they sold their last store over a year ago). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:03, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG as lacking independently published reliable sources. All I can find is press-releases and press-release-based publications. Geoff &#124; Who, me? 16:59, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to Barista. Article is full of hype and bullshit about a non-notable coffee company. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 17:34, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I've removed about 75% of the article content as promo bullshit sourced only to their own press releases. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 17:39, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
