Blackjack Pizza

 * – (View AfD)

Withdraw 15 days since notability notice. No change and no references. -- Kickstart70 - T - C 16:18, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per this Google News Archive search. There are references from The Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News (which says that Blackjack Pizza is the "biggest Colorado pizza chain, where most of the 800-member roster work part time." Here's another article from Rocky Mountain News that is about Blackjack Pizza donating money to the Bonfils Blood Center Foundation. Also, the two perpetrators of the Columbine High School Massacre worked at Blackjack Pizza as seen in these sources: 1, 2, and 3. In fact, Blackjack Pizza was where Eric David Harris purchased "one of the guns used during the shootings from Mark Manes". There are also plenty of results from Google Books. I'll expand the article and add the sources when I have time, but this pizzeria is definitely notable. Cunard (talk) 17:52, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * DELETE. Little more than advertising spam about a pizza joint that is non-notable and little different than any other random restuarant of the same type. Is Wikipedia to be a pizza chain index for every random pie maker? Proxy User (talk) 19:52, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I've rewritten the article in a neutral format with information about its achievements and some not-so-flattering information about it being on The Boycott List its relation to the Columbine Massacre. It's not an advertisement &mdash; it's notable. Cunard (talk) 23:50, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. The references mean that it passes the general notability guideline. -- Eastmain (talk) 21:05, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - Per Cunard. &mdash; neuro(talk) 21:33, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. Per Cunard. It is a small chain business that exists, and is passes WP:COMPANY with the sources on the article and the sources Cunard provided. Beano (talk) 23:45, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * keep and if you're worried about a 15-day notability tag, there are some that have been on for years! Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 01:29, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * IMO (and only IMO), if that's the case, they should either be re-evaluated or put to Afd for a decision to be made.


 * Keep To be honest, I really don't understand why this article came up here. The sources are more than enough to prove notability, as they have been covered in many Colorado newspapers. This place is as old as some celebrities today. I searched up Google, and all the results were for this particular joint. That's a first.  Lady  ★  Galaxy  04:26, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The sources you are seeing have just been added since the Afd. This article has been around for a while without any citations or references. -- Kickstart70 T C 05:43, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment: A number of the pages I've recently put up for Afd come from the category of restaurant stubs. There's a lot of junk in there, and I've just been working on the A's and B's. If anyone wants to help out, it's appreciated. -- Kickstart70 T C 05:43, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I see about half the AfDs resulted in keeps and at least one notable restaurant chain got deleted. If you're going to go through them like that please be sure to do a google search and look through the results, even consider improving the article, WP:BEFORE nominating.  In many cases an unsuccessful nomination still results in very constructive improvements to the article.  So if you keep them at a few a day and don't overload the system that's fine.  If you were to nominate 20 in a day as some people have, nobody can keep up.  Also, if it's notable but has clean-up or citation problems there are tags for that.Wikidemon (talk) 18:29, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm with T on this, Wikipedia is not a restaurant listing guide. Proxy User (talk) 17:50, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
