Chicken Out Rotisserie

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I believe this chain is currently defunct in its entirety, though I am not certain. It is possible one or two stores may still be operating. Chain went through bankruptcy in 2010/2011 and for the most part folded around 2013/2014. The website is still active and lists menu items, but does not list any store locations. One article indicates somebody may have been considering trying to revive the brand, but no indication that has been attempted. Even in its heyday, it was nothing more than a Washington, D.C. area chain, no presence outside the Washington Metropolitan area. Nothing other than local coverage. No indication that this chain ever satisfied WP:NCORP or WP:GNG. Kept at AfD in 2005, but notability standards were not well developed at that time. Safiel (talk) 05:29, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. I checked Google News and a pile of top general Google hits. Fails WP:NCORP when the only almost-helpful sourcing is the bankruptcy announcement. I note that there was a previous AFD on this article which closed as KEEP, however it was in 2005. Wikipedia had no policy on Notability at the time. Alsee (talk) 22:50, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete for failing WP:NCORP, especially because it does appear to be defunct. Their chicken was pretty good though. agt x  17:33, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment These are all I could find, but they're probably not enough for notability: 1 2 3 4 5 Adam9007 (talk) 21:28, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete -- a minor chain; no indications of significance or notability for the encyclopedia. K.e.coffman (talk) 09:55, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
