La Teresita

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Highly promotional text, notability seems to rest on "large portions, modest prices" and a visit by Mitt Romney. I speedied this as spam, but the creator challenged this and asserted notability, so it's here  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  15:16, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. The subject not notable and the article is promotional. --AmaryllisGardener (talk) 16:24, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Subject is covered very substantially in reliable independent sources. Books, papers etc. The article's content is based on what's in the sources. Tweaks and improvements most welcome. Candleabracadabra (talk) 21:29, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

 * reddogsix, are you saying that Candleabracadabra, a well known editor who wrote most of the article, is being paid by La Teresita to create an advertisement on Wikipedia? It looks as if everything in the article checks out with the sources. What else would an article about a restaurant say than the types of things here (menu, history, locations). The only thing missing is a negative review, but that is not required, not every restaurant has negative reviews. -- Green  C  16:13, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - Nope did not say that at all. It reads like an advertisement, not a Wikipedia article.   red dog six  (talk) 16:33, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment What about "La Teresita is known for its large portions and modest prices"? Just because it "checks out with the sources" doesn't mean it belongs at Wikipedia. -- Amaryllis Gardener  talk 21:21, 20 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep Locally renowned restaurant of the Latino community featured on national TV. Additional sources:
 * Andrew Meacham, "He Shared a Taste of Home", St. Petersburg Times, December 30, 2010. Quote: "It became a touchstone of Tampa's Latino community and beyond - a mandatory stop for stumping politicians, Tampa movers and shakers, and those just looking for good Cuban food at a reasonable price. At least four Florida governors and a sitting U.S. president have made appearances at La Teresita . It has been featured on national television, including NBC's Today and the Food Network."
