Kudu (restaurant)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Tagged for notability issues since 2012. PROD removed. I looked hard for English sources for this Saudi restaurant and found but two credible ones which I added. Nominating for further input as the article still may not meet WP:GNG and WP:CORP. Problem may be the lack of English sources rather than the notability of the company. Wiser heads than mine can weigh in. Geoff &#124; Who, me? 18:10, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * A better news search than the one automatically provided above is this, but, as I am also linguistically challenged here, there are probably many more potential sources in Arabic. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 18:40, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong keep; this is an example of WP:WORLDVIEW. The restaurant chain has hundreds of locations throughout Saudi Arabia, where here in the United States a chain will have an article if it has just 5 locations. Here are some sources:

 * Keep The 2 sources in the article together with the ones provided by MB298 are clearly enough to establish notability. Some other sources I found are and . GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 02:54, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable per the sources already mentioned, and worthy of an article, especially in light of our concerns to combat systemic geographic bias. I would like to see more about the history of the chain--just how (and by whom) was this business started and grown so successfully?--but as short as it is now the article demonstrates notability.--Arxiloxos (talk) 04:31, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per the referencing above.  Anarchyte  ( work  &#124;  talk )   09:02, 7 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep -- per available sources. Perhaps rename to Kudu (restaurant chain), since the article is not about a single restaurant. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:28, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
