Mary Lambert (restaurant)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Local business that appears to fail notability standards. Sources cited in article are local (Hartlepool Mail), or not independent of subject (two client profiles in small trade journals). A Google search turns up the founder's obituary in the Mail, the restaurant's own website, some Facebook pages, and lots of directory entries, but nothing suggestive of in-depth coverage by independent sources outside of Hartlepool. Searches on Google News and Google News Archives yield no evidence of such coverage. Ammodramus (talk) 12:38, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete as nomination, unremarkable business, no significant non-local coverage.TheLongTone (talk) 14:15, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - It seems this restaurant is very well known in Hartlepool but I haven't found any national or international coverage and that's fine, not all restaurants receive the best coverage. However, I found some other local coverage here (minor mention through a health incident), here (minor mention through employee), here (regarding the restaurant's smoking policy) and here (minor mention for taxes). I'm sure this is a good restaurant but it is not notable for Wikipedia. SwisterTwister   talk  20:47, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete May be a decent local restaurant but no evidence of encyclopaedic notability. AllyD (talk) 21:02, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete As far as I know there is no recommended notability guideline for restaurants. By default WP:GNG, I would say the independent and widespread coverage of this business does not seem enough for inclusion in an encyclopedia. Mkdw talk 03:13, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
