Shadab Restaurant

Article does not cite any notable references and should be removed.--Account2235 (talk) 13:56, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy close without action. Nominator also edits as User:Account2234, and their pattern of generic usernames suggests they may well be a sock of the prolific, long banned sockmaster User:E4024, who also showed an interest in this article. Clearly not a new editor, and if not that user's sock, somebody else's. No constructive intent. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by administrators since 2006.

 * With all due respect I created an account with a similar username so that you would know that the same person is behind the account.Please do assume good faith wp:agf. Also note that there are no notable references available for this place as per the notability guidelines. Moreover see wp:not.--Account2235 (talk) 19:51, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Without commenting on the broader sock allegations, I will just note that both users are brand new, single purpose account users whose only activity here has been to attempt to get the article Shadab Restaurant deleted. Account2235 actually admits here that the two accounts are the same person. If we are to assume good faith, maybe we could ask them to explain why they created a new (2235) account instead of continuing to edit as 2234? --MelanieN (talk) 21:57, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
 * The user explained on their talk page that they lost the password to Account2234, so they created Account2235, fully intending it to be recognized as the same person. The editing pattern supports this explanation. I have now blocked Account2234 at their request. Clearly there was never any intent to use the two accounts deceptively, and now they have only a single account. --MelanieN (talk) 22:12, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete at best actualy as there's nothing suggesting the needed solid independent notability improvements and my searches have found nothing outstandingly convincingly better. SwisterTwister   talk  00:36, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

 * And what were your searches? At least your editing history shows that you might have spent a couple of minutes on this article, rather than the seconds that you usually use to form an opinion, but without telling us what your searches were your opinion here is very uninformative, and pretty useless in the process of forming a consensus, which is supposed to be what we are doing here. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:15, 11 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:GNG and fails WP:CORPDEPTH. The best, somewhat reliable references I found are and  which are unfortunately not enough. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 05:30, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Per SwisterTwister & Lemongirl1492. The news posts available were mainly passing mentions and there is a paucity of those. I even found a mention in a novel which turned out to refer to a place next to the Charminar in Hyderabad, not Jeddah, so no joy there. Geoff &#124; Who, me? 18:11, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
