La Pyramide

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Deprodded by claim of "hundreds of sources" but all I found was tourist-y directory listings (Fodor's and that lot). Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 18:13, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. A restaurant with three Michelin stars is pretty obviously notable by any sensible definition of the term. The source that I added to the article is far from a "tourist-y directory listing" and those hundreds more can be found here. Just two examples from near the top of those results are a book from the Cambridge University Press confirming that this restaurant "enjoyed immense status since the early 1930s", and one from the Oxford University Press saying that "Novelle cuisine's roots are in the French town of Vienne in the 1950s and the chef Fernand Point's renowned Michelin three-starred restaurant, La Pyramide".

 * Keep. Pyramide was one of the most famous restaurants in France.  (I believe I first read about it in Vincent & Mary Price's classic Treasury of Great Recipes, which sadly seems not to be searchable on-line.) --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:59, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
