article violates WP:BLP; Back Bay Restaurant Group may be notable (article doesn't currently exist) given the number of restaurants it has, but this article of the company's founder doesn't seem to warrant an article of its own, especially the way it is currently written. Of what importance is it to know who this guy is married to? CPAScott (talk) 20:12, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Yes he may be notable in a certain way because he is the CEO of a 35 restaurant company BUT I can't see much notability because the said restaurant group has no article on Wikipedia. If there is no page for this restaurant group than what is the point of having an article about the CEO? Except from being CEO, he has not done many notable things in his life thus failing WP:BLP.... Moreover, this article lacks of sources/references (there is none) AND there are no sources since the writting of this article 3 YEARS AGO. Something is wrong... Finally, article seems to be written in a non-neutral way. Jolenine  (Talk - Contribs) 22:50, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. BBRG is a maybe, but this guy is not notable just because he runs almost 3 dozen restaurants. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 23:05, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:BLP requires the immediate deletion of any unsourced statement in the biography of a living person, which in this case would result in blanking the article. - DustFormsWords (talk) 06:48, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I've created a stub page for Back Bay Restaurant Group given its prominence in New England (about the same size as Legal Sea Foods). However, I still hold that the Charles Sarkis article should be deleted.  In Legal Seafood's case the CEO, Roger Berkowitz has his own article, but the article also faced afd discussion.  There it was determined that Berkowitz was notable enough given the company's notability outside of New England.  In the case of BBRG, or Sarkis, himself, this is not the case.  We can debate the merits of the BBRG article seperately, but as stated, my nomination for deletion of this article stands. -CPAScott (talk) 13:35, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Excellent call, Scott. Needs more work, but it's a good start. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 01:36, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
