Southern Fires Restaurant

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable restaurant. It doesn't have reliable sources to establish notability, and of the sources cited, one is the restaurant's website, one is a promotional restaurant posting, and another is an opinion piece in a newspaper column. The restaurant has nothing that distinguishes it, and it doesn't have significant coverage in reliable sources. Slon02 (talk) 01:32, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment. The current article is written in an unacceptably promotional style.  On the other hand, references to this restaurant as a Detroit's culinary "landmark"(and a favorite of various celebrities) show up in a variety of news articles, including some from outside Detroit, e.g. .  So it's possible that this restaurant might be notable and that a satisfactorily WP:NPOV article could be written here.--Arxiloxos (talk) 02:11, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I've attempted to rewrite the article incorporating the above sources by Arxilioxos. I'm going to remain neutral in this AfD.  I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 04:42, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete – Varying search parameters a few ways didn't yield much better results. There's a lack of substantial coverage from what I can tell. With all due respect to Vibe and especially to Jethro, these ( and ) don't make for any sort of substantial coverage. It's like when the mayor of Boston says Clover Food Lab makes the best BLT. There's no WP:INHERITING any of that. JFHJr (㊟) 10:03, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, per JFHJr. One article in a local paper and a few minor mentions elsewhere doesn't confer notability. Can't find anything under its old name either. —S MALL JIM   17:26, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
