Hideaway Pizza

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Not notable. Poorly Written. Self published sources. It's a local Oklahoma pizza place and all the sources are from their own website and 2 local newspapers that briefly mention the spot. The article doesn't even have any information about the spot aside from that it exists and it's location. Not encyclopedic in the least and adds no value to Wikipedia. Keeping sets precedence for every single mom and pop store or business to have their own Wikipedia article. Nefariousski (talk) 17:20, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep May just scrape through on the notability front, it appears to have a long history which could be dug into. The article just needs improving, that's all. "Poorly Written" is not a valid reason for deletion. "Keeping sets precedence for every single mom and pop store or business to have their own Wikipedia article. " - No it doesn't?

 * Delete No substantial coverage exists. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 19:20, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't see anything in the article or its sources that encourages me with regards to notability. Delete Tony Fox (arf!) 20:46, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Plenty of coverage exists, it just doesn't happen to be in the New York Times or Washington Post. The nomination's reference to articles on "every single mom and pop store or business" takes the nomination off the rails; I'm not sure what the real rationale is here.

 * Keep A Google News search turns up coverage that confirms the subject's notability: . If anyone needs to review the articles that require AccessMyLibrary.com access, please let me know and I will provide copies of the texts. Pastor Theo (talk) 02:14, 13 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - We objectively evaluate a subject's notability through coverage in reliable sources. We do not dismiss a mom and pop operation because it is small.  We dismiss it because it doesn't receive coverage.  In this case, the mom and pop operation has received that coverage.  The Tulsa World source in the article has this pizza operation as a the primary source.  This article calls it a Stillwater tradition.  It even made it on to MSNBC. -- Whpq (talk) 16:45, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
