Champps

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A declined CSD  A7. The only sources provided by  the creator are the company's own  web sites. I have found no  WP:RS online. All sites are directory sites, blogs or very  short  reviews: One of the nicest hangouts in Reston, Champps sports huge televisions; a large, well-staffed bar; an enclosed patio; and events like bingo nightl.

 * Keep I've never heard of this restaurant chain as they have little or no presence in California where I live. However, my Google News archive search reveals considerable in-depth coverage of the parent company of the chain in the New York Times, the Denver Post, the Rocky Mountain News as well as in various restaurant industry trade publications.  They seem notable based on that news coverage. Cullen328 (talk) 05:15, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. I declined the speedy deletion; I've never heard of Champps, but I don't believe this chain of 60 restaurants is non-notable (it's hard to believe a restaurant chain of that size has never been noted in the past 26 years since they opened). As Cullen correctly states, a quick Google Archive search pulls up many news articles about the company, including news stories on company mergers (which verifies data like the 60 restaurants).

 * Keep I believe that reliable sources can be found if one takes enough time to look. The article was just created, and I don't think enough time has passed before nominating it for deletion. - Bkid My talk/Contribs 06:50, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. There appears to be enough business-oriented news coverage of this chain to justify an article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:28, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

As the creator of this page, I agree with those who say "keep". It's been a few days since the last post, so when are we closing this ? Also, I could use some help expanding and making the article even better. Many thanks to those who believe Champps is worthy of having its own page, because it truly is a large chain of sports bars across the United States. Tinton5 (talk) 00:54, 6 May 2011 (UTC) P.S., did I mention their food is spectacular? For those of you that haven't been here, you must! I recommend traveling 500 miles out of your way to try their burgers and famous waffle fries. Maybe we can insert some menu options in the article. Tinton5 (talk) 00:57, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep as stated by the previous contribs, this is a good size sports bar chain in the US and it easily meets WP:N. Recommend closing this per WP:Snow. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 17:35, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
