The result was speedy keep. I'm withdrawing this; I ma nominate in a  year or two when opinion about promotionalism becomes more rational  DGG ( talk ) 23:59, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Taziki's Mediterranean Café
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

essentially promotional, so it violates NOT ADVERTISING, one of our fundamental policies. I do not know whether or not it's really notable, but it doesn't matter. notability is secondary to basic policy WP:NOT. The previous discussion argued on the grounds of notability, but I do not see why.  DGG ( talk ) 16:41, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - notable national chain, and unique in its own right. Article cites multiple secondary and third party RS using inline citations. If this article doesn't pass as keep, then we might as well AfD Panera Bread, Dôme (coffeehouse), McCafé, and all the others listed in Category:Bakery cafés, and that's just one of many restaurant/cafe categories.

 * Keep – Passes WP:GNG. The article is written based upon what reliable sources state about it. Positive press coverage does not automatically equate to advertising. If the company received significant coverage in the form of negative press for some matter, I would have included that as well. The article does not have a promotional tone and does not encourage readers to do business with the company. North America1000 19:14, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep I !voted keep at the previous AfD, and my rationale still stands. (I will add more reason later) –Ammarpad (talk) 19:19, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to pass GNG. PROMO/SPAM doesn't apply to RS-worthy refs, that appears to be the case here after a quick peek. South Nashua (talk) 19:41, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable regional chain with over 80 restaurants. Plenty of decent press coverage. REAL certification section could use cleaning up but that is hardly a reason to delete the article.--Bernie44 (talk) 19:46, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
