Samarqand Restaurant
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Only citations for article are a blog post and a review in The Independent. Restaurant seems to have closed in about 2014, based on when its official Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/samarqandlondon ) and Twitter ( https://twitter.com/samarqandlondon ) stopped updating. I couldn't find any other media coverage of significance, only Yelp/Foursquare entries. Doesn't seem to meet notability requirements and won't meet them in the future. Previous deletion discussion in 2014 decided to keep article pending improvements, which are now extremely unlikely to happen. SimLibrarian (talk) 23:50, 14 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete - Should have been deleted eight years ago. Rogermx (talk) 01:34, 15 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Nothing particularly significant or storied, as restaurants go. If it had a few more decades and a lot more sources behind it I might suggest merging to Marylebone, but there is not even enough to justify that here. BD2412  T 04:10, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete The article is not relevant and current, the links do not fully cover the topic --Bigneeerman (talk) 13:42, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Food and drink, Business,  and England.  Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 09:26, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete; extremely unlikely that any restaurant that opened in 2009 and closed in 2014 would achieve notability without there being large numbers of easily-found online instances of significant coverage. valereee (talk) 13:27, 16 July 2022 (UTC) ETA: I added a 'further reading' section to provide two add'l sources that had been mentioned in previous AfD, but neither of them appears to represent sig cov either. valereee (talk) 13:44, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: Not meeting notability guidelines Proton Dental (talk) 06:39, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete, A promotional article that does not support WP:GNG. Alex-h (talk) 14:45, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete I think a consensus has been reached here. As is, the article violates WP:PROMO, and it seems unlikely that additional sources can be found to establish notability given that it's been closed for nearly a decade. Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 21:05, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per above promotional and fails WP:GNG.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 00:54, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
