 * Keep staff written New York Times obituary is almost a sure sign of passing the WP:GNG. GuzzyG (talk) 11:13, 26 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep The idea that Petraske was of "questionable notability while alive" is false as any google search will show. In addition to all the NY news publications (NY Times, Gothamist, NY Daily News) and dozens of food and drink venues, even the Boston Globe and the UK Daily Mail published staff-written obits for Petraske. As all these pieces emphasize, the reason Sasha was so notable was not his success as a "businessperson" -- something he never cared to be -- but his internationally recognized cultivation of the craft of bartending. The vote to delete the entry because it is a "promotional advert" makes no sense -- he has no vested interests.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tati8284 (talk • contribs) 00:39, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. His significance, and notability, is stated explicitly in the sources. --Arxiloxos (talk) 05:23, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. His death was covered by the newspapers and television news here in NYC.  His cocktail bats are famous here.  BurienBomber (talk) 14:26, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
