Big Onion Walking Tours

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Previously speedy-deleted as advertising; now rewritten more neutrally, but still doesn't seem to be notable per WP:CORP. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:00, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Speed deletion of the original article was appropriate, however if the current article meets the criteria for neutral tone, it should stand for notability. In addition to serving more than 40,000 walkers per year, Big Onion appears in newspaper listings in all major New York papers, it is listed in all the guide books for New York City, and it receives press coverage in the major travel magazines as well as in syndicated newspapers (a story in last year's Hartford Courant was reprinted in dozens of American newspapers and at least one major newspaper in Australia). It is a New York institution on par with many of the city's small museums (some of which have Wikipedia pages) and is a subject of interest to visitors to New York from around the world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.108.244.217 (talk) 21:19, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:HEY. With very little effort, and in less than an hours' time, I have found several reliable sources about this tour company from Internet searches.  Please see WP:BEFORE. Bearian (talk) 00:41, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep – looks like plenty of notability has been established now after improvements made. MuZemike 02:52, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
