Big Bite Submarines

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (companies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Necrothesp with the following rationale "53 restaurants seems reasonable for an article". I disagree, having an x-outlets is not seen as a criteria of notability in any policy or guideline I am familiar with. A company can have hundreds of outlets and still be totally non-notable. As I discussed in my Signpost Op-Ed, this is a good example of Yellow-Pages like company spam. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 12:39, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. One editor's "Yellow Pages company spam" is many others' "useful information about something you didn't know about before". The contention that "a company can have hundreds of outlets and still be totally non-notable" is bizzare as by that size there would be enough coverage to pass GNG unless a company was actively trying to avoid it. All that aside, while I can't read Norweigan a quick Google/gNews search turns up enough links about the company (including several titled newspaper articles) to indicate that this is, in fact, a Wikinotable company.

 * Keep. Opinions here are going to be purely subjective, but I think that a chain of restaurants of this size is definitely notable. I would suggest that such a chain in Britain or the United States wouldn't have a chance of being deleted. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:18, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
 * delete size of the chain at 50 odd is irrelevant. what matters is coverage. 6 odd gnews hits doesn't meet GNG and WP:CORP when some of it looks routine. LibStar (talk) 02:18, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete -- Something remarkable about the menu? No. Business model? No. Number of outlets? In Norway perhaps. A promotional means to get to the top of Google searches? Absolutely. Rhadow (talk) 14:13, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
 * What has only being in Norway got to do with anything? -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:52, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete- despite all the cries of "but there must be sources out there somewhere" after three weeks it's still only sourced to the official website, and my own searches have come up with nothing useful either. I'm a bit surprised that a chain with 50+ restaurants wouldn't have coverage necessary for WP:N, but that seems to be the reality. Reyk  YO!  13:46, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Enough coverage from Norwegian newspapers to establish notability. --Michig (talk) 07:26, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
