Stale fact tagging isn't going to help this directory listing, its based upon a weak neologism to begin with. Delete. coccyx bloccyx (toccyx)  23:17, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Rename to Fast casual restaurant and remove the list. JuJube (talk) 01:00, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - "fast casual restaurant" is a non-notable neologism WP:NEO.  LinguistAtLarge &bull; Msg  01:20, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Rename per JuJube. Term does not appear to be non-notable or a neologism.  There's a magazine devoted to this industry segment, and another that covers it in depth. Term is used by major market research companies and is referred to in publications such as Food & Drink Weekly and White Hutchnison Leisure News, as well as being used by local restaurant reviewers.  Seems to be a term in widespread use to describe a very specific and important market sector, hence both notable and not a neologism. JulesH (talk) 12:46, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete looks like a non-notable neologism, I'm not convinced by the sources and either way it would be something more suited for Wiktionary not here. JBsupreme (talk) 09:05, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm really not sure that a description of a market segment of restaurants is an appropriate article for a dictionary. JulesH (talk) 15:00, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Rename the term leans towards the idiotic, to be sure, but it has become a clearly identifiable market segment, and a rather popular one at that. Wiktionary is also a poor fit. doregasm —Preceding undated comment was added at 19:33, 19 January 2009 (UTC).
