 * Keep. It has long been accepted that we have many thousands of lists on Wikipedia, from List of lists of lists down, so "just a list" is not a reason for deletion, and the recently written WP:NOTLIST, which is marked as intentionally humorous, in no way reflects policy or guidelines. In this specific instance Michelin stars are the highest accolade that any restaurant can achieve, so it is perfectly reasonable for us to have lists of the recipients. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 18:31, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment 3 stars in the Michelin Guide is one of the highest accolades and this list exists but 1 and 2 stars are not, it is a sign of quality but certainly not the highest accolade. --Domdeparis (talk) 18:40, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Even one star is a very high accolade, as evidenced by how few restaurants have it. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:06, 9 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment There are several more such lists in, created by more than one editor. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:36, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment The link that you gave is not a page with lists but subcategories that link to the pages concerned. i would suggest that instead of creating a list contrary to WP:NOTLIST the editor create a sub-category for Scotland. --Domdeparis (talk) 18:42, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry but you've got to do your homework, here. Several of the national subcategories do contain such lists. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:46, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
 * You're right the Usa and Ireland have these lists but should they exist as well? WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS --Domdeparis (talk) 18:51, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
 * There's three in the U.S. category. There's also one in the Netherlands. My personal preference would be to do a group nom and alert all the various creators, but you're under no obligation to do so, I guess. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:03, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Once again you are referencing WP:NOTLIST, which is intended to be a humorous essay, although I don't share the author's sense of humour. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:06, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
 * ... And then of course there's the parent list at List of Michelin starred restaurants. And maybe more. We seem to have a rather extensive category scheme Category:Michelin Guide starred restaurants, as a result of Categories_for_discussion/Log/2010_November_26. WP:CLN explains how lists and categories coexist. I just don't see a valid reason to delete. Keep. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:09, 9 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep. Seems a rather spurious nomination, as WP:NOTLIST is neither Policy nor Guideline. -- Cactus.man  &#9997;  20:42, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep -- if someone is willing to maintain this article, this could be a keep. I would imagine that ppll might want to know what restaurants have these stars. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:29, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep but it could do with third-party sources. sixty nine   • speak up •  21:55, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep It's a prestigious award. List is notable and narrowly defined. Close perWP:SNOW. South Nashua (talk) 23:59, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
