Seva Cafe

Entirely promotional. Regardless of possible notability, promotionalism is a failure of WP:NOT ADVOCACY and a reason for deletion. I do not see how this can be improved, since a   promotional praise of the merits of its approach is the core of the article.  DGG ( talk ) 19:18, 12 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete - the Forbes reference is the only one that gives me pause, but it's far from enought. Joe (talk) 19:45, 12 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep lots of refs for a small business. I'm not sure how else you would spell out why they get all this press except to say what they do. Legacypac (talk)

 * I think it's fair to assume they get press for the usua lreason small companies get press, by hiring pr agents in order to promote their business DGG ( talk ) 03:59, 13 February 2019 (UTC)


 *  Keep A quick GSearch uncovers coverage from Times Of India, India Today, The Hindu,Forbes and a small paragraph in The Telegraph (Too small to add to notability so removing) which tells me that this is Cafe is probably notable. Promotional material itself is not a reason for deletion unless it explicitly written in adspeak. SOFIXIT applies here. << FR (mobileUndo) 11:12, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment The Times of India and India Today are real coverage. These are full sized newspapers. No churnalism but an examination of the gift or pay-it-forward economy in both instances as the context of the cafe.  scope_creep Talk  11:19, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - Seems that there are enough sources to pass WP:GNG. It may be a little too promotional, but I believe it might be a little hard to describe the operation of the restaurant (which is its primary reason for notability) without it coming across as at least a little promotional.
