Wikipedia is not a directory of links--delete article or replace with text on the actual subject --Lukobe 22:06, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Currently, it violates "Wikipedia is not a directory". And the page's history shows that the article's content has not been modified since 19:22, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC). Zzyzx11 23:19, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, Wikipedia is not a directory. Megan1967 00:15, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. The way legislation appears to be going worldwide, this would be a very long and unremarkable list indeed. Average Earthman 00:22, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Pointless and unencyclpedic. Smoke-free restaurants are increasingly common these days, so if a list like this were complete it would be as big as, say, "List of restaurants with tinted windows" or "List of restaurants with burgundy-tinted seats." Something like a list of smoke-free restaurants in areas where they're not common might be acceptable in Wikitravel, but not here. Szyslak 00:40, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. In California that would be, well, all of them, with minor exceptions. Pointless. --Calton 02:04, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah, and every one in New York City, too. Delete.  RickK 06:03, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * And every restaurant in New Zealand too. Why not transwiki the thing? Scott Gall 23:43, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Don't forget about Oregon, it would be all of them also. TranswikiTygar 08:48, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * Text on the original subject belongs (and is) in Tobacco smoking. Delete. --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 07:08, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to WikiTravel. Radiant! 09:14, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete -- won't be long before they all are. Longhair 13:49, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: Hardly informative Giano 15:35, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, but consider changing the name to Smoke-free restaurants in the UK, as this seems to have been written with Britain in mind, where there are few smoke-free restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. Readers might appreciate finding information about these places and being able to add details about their own experience of finding one. Also, the article needs a major clean-up, but it's essentially viable. SlimVirgin 04:25, Feb 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * Even so, it has no place here - check WikiTravel instead. Wikipedia is not a travel guide. Radiant! 10:42, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)
