Does not give enough proof of notability Keep: Has improved enough tht I think the deletion is unwarranted. Kickstart70 - T - C 17:41, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - without proofing notability it's just an advertise. Maybe this place is specific, but article currently does not confirm it. || After adding sources it's ok. I withdraw my vote. Andrew 18  @  17:44, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - I have added some additional info to the article, info on link to the Lewinsky scandal, cookbook released, sweatshirt recall, yachting race, and 2006 Retailer of the Year award. Seven cited references added to article. --Captain-tucker (talk) 14:20, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Restaurant is well known in New England. JNW (talk) 14:37, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - while the artical does need alot of work, it is of significant importance in the New England region. I live on the other side of massachusetts and you find people here wearing their t-shirts.--Found5dollar (talk) 14:45, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as advertising. The article includes little evidence of true notability. A beachside t-shirt shop is not notable, no matter how affluent its customers or who has been photographed wearing its shirts. Aramgar (talk) 14:56, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. There are numerous references in the article demonstrating wikipedia-notability (essentially that the place is described in third-party reliable sources).  See notability, and actually read it!  :)  The nominator's rationale of "not ... enough proof of notability" is blatantly contradicted by references in the article.  doncram (talk) 15:12, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I read the first result from the search linked to by Zagalejo, from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Besides seeming notable enough from what I read in that newspaper's article, it is telling that the newspaper of a major non-New England city would devote a rather large article to this subject. Doncram also makes a good point; I see a number of reliable, third-party sources with significant coverage of this place.  Alexius  Horatius  15:30, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Bugger this. Find a venue other than a serious encyclopedia for a description of a place Bill Clinton got gifted a t-shirt. Delete per WP:N. Sswonk (talk) 00:34, 15 October 2008 (UTC) Keep per Zagalejo below. Sswonk (talk) 00:30, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * No, it unequivocally passes WP:N, as it is the primary subject of multiple, independent sources. And though it did gain some fame from the Clinton connection, the sources focus on many other aspects of the business. These articles  only briefly mention Clinton.
