 * Keep - certainly the sourcing in the article could be improved, but my Lexis Nexis search shows notability (sorry about no links for easy reference). The chain has received quite a lot of press.  Sure a good percentage is "local" in that it comes from Detroit, but coverage in large city newspapers (Detroit Free Press) is not usually what we think of when we say "local coverage".  Non-local coverage includes profiles by Canadean, Zoom, and Lexis Nexis itself.  The Toronto Star quoted National Coney Island as an authority on coney dogs and had a paragraph or two about the chain.  USA Today listed it among the country's top airport food in 2009.  CNN listed it as one of the 10 "airport restaurants that taste like home" in 2013.  Several DFP stories featuring the chain have been picked up by affiliated papers nationally. --ThaddeusB (talk) 00:09, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
