Magnolia Bakery
Non-notable per WP:CORP. Media mentions seems trivial, and a couple of appearances in New York-based television shows don't make it notable, IMHO.RJASE1 Talk  00:07, 8 April 2007 (UTC) I'm withdrawing the nom and am trying to figure out what is wrong with my reference-searching technique...

 * Keep As a New York City-based Wikipedian, I have to disagree... Magnolia Bakery is a household name here, and is considered a cultural landmark of Greenwich Village.  As per WP:CORP, the bakery has appeared on Sex and the City and has been mentioned in numerous newspapers.  Diabloman 01:08, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - seems entirely notable to me. TerriersFan 01:59, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, per Diabloman. Ab e g92 contribs 02:38, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, like Tom's Restaurant (Manhattan), this appears to be a New York icon, and while appearing on a few TV shows may not make it notable (although I would argue they do), I'm sure there are several print references which surely would pass Wikipedia's primary notability criterion: New York Magazine, USA Today, 7 refs in the New York Times. The bakery has published at least two books of recipes through Simon & Schuster. Needs a bit of cleanup though. --Canley 03:00, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Absurd and unnecessary deletionism. An important New York City landmark. No reason to delete this article that has been edited since December 2005. The bakery's founders have published a few successful cookbooks that use the bakery's name. Moncrief 03:15, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
