Milwaukee Ale House

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Notability not asserted. How is this bar any more notable than any other bar in the Third Ward? So what if it has a brief mention in a notable local newspaper, it hasn't received significant coverage.  Royal broil  01:41, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Nomination withdrawn Coverage in independent sources demonstrated.  Royal broil  13:16, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. I originally tagged this one for speedy, but it was saved by newspaper coverage. However, it is not enough to establish true notability, I'm afraid. Surely getting a visit from your local paper's restaurant critic (who picked your joint semi-randomly) isn't enough to make you notable. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 02:05, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. It passes the general notability guideline. Restaurant reviewers choose restaurants that are likely to be of interest to their readers, not random ones. -- Eastmain (talk) 02:42, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * So is it your opinion that all restaurants that receive a review in a local newspaper are notable and thus should be allowed to have an article in Wikipedia?  Royal broil  04:35, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Where the review is more than just a listing, yes. --Eastmain (talk) 13:57, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. There is detailed coverage of the pub in several books. For example, this book has a separate chapter about this pub, including its history. Similarly, this book has a section about the pub that starts with "One of Wisconsin's most acclaimed brew pubs, the Milwaukee Ale House is a hangout for those connected to the microbrewing industry..." (a direct assertion of notability here). There is also substantial coverage in local newspaper, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: 246 hits in googlenews, much of it specific and detailed, e.g., etc. Enough here to pass WP:N.

 * Keep per above. Sources establish notability.  Article should be expanded though. --Banime (talk) 09:36, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
