St. Lars restaurant

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is about a restaurant. It is not clear that the restaurant is notable and the article is very poorly organized and is rife with errors. I am nominating it for deletion specifically to clear up the question of notability. Dusty |&#x1f4ac;|You can help! 19:00, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Have added eight new articles to prove notability. St. Lars is one of Norway's most famous restaurants. It is interesting with it's unique take on food (everything goes on the custom made grill) and produce (horse, bear and the like). And the mix of three very different and prominent owners - world know tv-host, venture capitalist and Grammy-winning producer, makes it highly relevant and notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leanphil (talk • contribs) 19:22, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

St. Lars is probably Norway's most important new restaurant (Maemo aside) the last five years. Always controversial, always good reviews and always in the news. All famous Norwegians eat there. Even international celebrities like Rihanna (friend of the owner Tor Erik Hermansen) have been spotted there. Entotrefir (talk

I agree with Leanphil and Entotrefir. St. Lars is really something totally different. Viestad and Hermansen are both Norwegian celebrities with an international following and the restaurant with the custom made grill is extraordinary. Not to mention the produce of horse and bear which you cant get anywhere elseJohansveno1984 (talk). —Preceding undated comment added 20:21, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

I live in Norway. St. Lars is definitely notable. Fantastic food and very high-end clientele and media profile. The article also seems very well sourced. StkSE13 (talk). —Preceding undated comment added 11:37, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep. I travel to Norway occasionally and Lars is a very special place indeed.  I've never managed to get there, but my clients keep promising...Robert EA Harvey (talk) 17:36, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment — I am almost certain that three, and perhaps four, of the editors who commented here to support keeping the article are the same person. Perhaps an administrator with sockpuppet investigation privileges can investigate. The three editors in question, Entotrefir, Leanphil, and StkSE13, each with very brief and young Wikipedia histories, have been working only on a narrow range of overlapping articles of Nordic interest, containing a great deal of marketing-bloated prose before I cleaned them up. A fourth editor who supported keeping this article, Johansveno1984, might be another sockpuppet. — O'Dea  (talk) 11:21, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
