The Bohemian Cafe
Non-notable restaurant, appears to be little more than an advertisement Wildthing61476 14:55, 28 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete - per nom. -- Kungfu Adam ( talk ) 14:56, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Not so, an ethical and noteworthy fair trade establishement....a much needed boost in a low area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Applecake (talk • contribs) 14:51, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment So, should I create an article about the vegan/vegetarian restaurant that opened in a rather nasty part of Baltimore City for the same reason? It's great that the restaurant is giving a boost to the area, however, it does need to meet WP:CORP, which it does not. Wildthing61476 14:59, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Advertising/Vanity page for totally non-notable company. Fails WP:CORP. Applecake please read WP:NOTE and WP:CORP as well as WP:NOT. -- IslaySolomon 15:04, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into an article about the Restaurants of Baltimore, if there is one. P eople Powered 15:05, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Actually it's in Sheffield, but I don't see a case for listing every restaurant in a particular locale. Wikipedia is not: a directory, a travel guide, an indiscriminate collection of information. -- IslaySolomon 15:08, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * This isn't an encyclopaedia article. It's an advertisement.  The biggest clue is that four fifths of the article is devoted to listing the menu served by this restaurant, including the individual prices for many items.  It's written in the first person, and the author's intention of writing the article, apparent from xyr edits to the external links section of Sheffield, is to give the restaurant itself a "boost".  Wikipedia is neither a business directory nor an advertising billboard.  Whether or not an encyclopaedia article can be written on this subject (and a quick search indicates that the WP:CORP criteria probably cannot be satisfied), this content must go. Delete.

 * ok menu deleted. Better? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Applecake (talk • contribs) 15:33, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * No, because there are still the WP:CORP criteria to satisfy. I've just had a more thorough look, and I couldn't find any non-trivial works published about this restaurant by people that are independent of it.  If some exist, please cite them. Uncle G 16:02, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * There wouldnt be, it has just opened. I cant really defend too much as I am a customer and love this please - it is unique to sheffield. but what else can i say!? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.193.252.151 (talk • contribs) 2006-09-28 18:06:35
 * Comment By your statement however, you make a strong case for deletion, as it is a newly opened restaurant with no claim of notability. It may be a good restuarant, but there are thousands, if not MILLIONS of those around the world. Wildthing61476 18:08, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * You're more than just a customer, M. Applegate. You're the designer and maintainer of the restaurant's web site.  If you want to create free content business directory articles for businesses in Sheffield, the place you should be is Yellowikis, which unlike Wikipedia is a business directory.

 * Delete, nonnotable local restaurant. NawlinWiki 19:36, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Wikipedia documents the already-established, it doesn't establish the as-yet undocumented. &mdash; Saxifrage ✎ 22:31, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
