Primanti Brothers

I'm sure that Primanti Brothers is a Pittsburgh favourite, but it doesn't seem to meet notability guidelines. Most of the references are self-sourced. The best reference seems to be a couple of paragraphs in a National Geographic article about the Pittsburgh Strip District. A Google news search finds plenty of passing mentions, but no substantial coverage. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 15:02, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I think that Primanti Brothers qualifies as a reasonably notable cultural institution. Aside from the articles you've referenced there are others (,, , , Washington Post). Lazulilasher (talk) 18:04, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Primanti Brothers lacks "significant coverage in reliable sources" as WP:NOTE puts it. Lots of trivial coverage and a lots of Google hits but I'm not finding the (reliable) sources to justify inclusion here. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 18:52, 29 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Featured in national geographic. Historic restaurant and cultural institution. Notability established and I'm sure there are many more stories from their 75 year history. ChildofMidnight (talk) 02:08, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Has been featured on the Food Network, as well as the Travel Channel.  Patken4 (talk) 21:19, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is Pittsburgh's most famous restaurant and is perennially covered landmark in most television programs covering the area. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.165.37.92 (talk • contribs)

 * Keep I don't live anywhere near there, in another country in fact, and even I have heard of it. I believe I watched a documentary that included it on the Food Network or PBS. -Djsasso (talk) 16:30, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - the usual problem with restaurants it that the coverage is simply local restauarant reviews. Coverage in the National Geogrpahic, and the travel section of the Washington Post certainly surpass a local review and demonstrate notability.n  And for good measure, they are in published book about Pittsburgh such as this photo book. -- Whpq (talk) 19:18, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, plenty of references above local level. NVO (talk) 21:20, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
