The Bent Spoon
Non-notable business. Daniel Case 02:46, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete: Not notable - at all. Maybe even not to the community in Princeton! Tokakeke 02:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom. A place of business is not speediable. PJM 03:08, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. This article is the kind of stuff you would find on a poster tacked on a disheveled notice board down an arbitrary street. SycthosTalk 04:50, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Liamdaly620 08:17, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete although I think places with great significance within a large local area should be kept (if it has that. Any Princetonites care to comment?) Also, 300 flavors is damn impressive. Weak keep as a significant venue within a large locale. Grandmasterka 10:06, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - advert. Latinus 18:38, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable. &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-01-24 05:44Z 
 * Keep - As the author of this article, and as a Princetonite, Bent Spoon supporter and friend of the owners, I assert that the Bent Spoon is significant both locally and nationally. Many may be familiar with the slow food movement, where food is treated as a culturally significant and socially encompassing process, not simply an act of consumption. Whereas many ice cream shops claim to make their own ice cream, it simply means that they buy a premade base (eggs, cream, sugar, etc.), add their own flavors and then sell it as 'homemade'. In contrast, the Bent Spoon buys local products and starts absolutely from scratch, which is incredibly rare (ask your local ice cream shop if they crack their own eggs). This is significant because modern agricultural and consumption practices are potentially not sustainable, and any business that embodies at the heart of its mission a commitment to the sustainable development of its community is certainly notable. Also notice that I added a link to a New Jersey Monthly article profiling the Bent Spoon from January 2006, which potentially lends credibility to its status as 'notable'. Perhaps the entry does need to be edited to sound less like an advertisement. Any suggestions? Dzaback 02:09, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
