Dickie Brennan's Steakhouse

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Not notable. Fails WP:CORP Night of the Big Wind  talk  01:18, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Famous, highly rated New Orleans restaurant, gets ample coverage, as shown on GNews and GBooks, and the article already mentions (although does not link to) some of the non-local coverage, such as this feature in The Wall Street Journal and its accolades from Playboy and Maxim.  This article needs to be improved, not deleted. --Arxiloxos (talk) 04:24, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Then it needs serious improvement and fast. At the moment the article lacks independentt and reliable third party sources. Listings and reviews are only seldom considered reliable sources. So the Wall Street Journal and Playboy articles are not reliable sources. The Google News links is a nice one, but gives a blank. The Google Books link also does not look very convincing, but... then I came across Frommer's New Orleans. That is a reliable and independent source. Find more of these independent Guids and you might convince me. Night of the Big Wind  talk  09:46, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - After perusing links provided above by User:Arxiloxos, this topic appears to meet WP:GNG. Contrary to the nomination for deleting this article from Wikipedia, this article appears to pass WP:CORP. Northamerica1000 (talk) 15:02, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. Steak houses are just intrinsically non-notable, no matter how well regarded they are.  Unless someone assassinates a politician there (or preferably more than one...) or something, I tend to think it just doesn't get over the bar. --Legis (talk - contribs) 06:33, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

 * on what basis do you say the "Steak houses are just intrinsically non-notable, no matter how well regarded they are" ? I can prove you're wrong:  Peter Luger Steak House  DGG ( talk ) 04:02, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * LOL, every rule has its exception, although the Michelin star should be sourced. I have seen another run of the mill restaurant where Obama and Medvedev popped in for a burger. To me, that qualifies it as notable. But Dickie Brennan's? Sorry... Night of the Big Wind  talk  10:46, 14 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep per Arxiloxos. Mentions by The Wall Street Journal and Playboy, and results from Google Books and News, are indicative of the steakhouse's notability. --Sp33dyphil ©hatontributions 22:51, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
