The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

very highly promotional article on borderline notable company.As for notability, small chain, with references consisting only of press releases , or minor notices obviously based on press releases. As for promotionalism, list of all executives, list of all store locations, list of all coffee blends served, multiple photos of their shops, list of multiple local promotional events.

It's been here a while, but there's been recent active editing to keep up with the changes in executives, and add the promotional events. All of this is content for a web page, not an encyclopedia article.  DGG ( talk ) 21:40, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a major chain: 900 stores in 25 countries.  An important player in the coffee business, and inventor of the "ice blended". Here are business discussions in The New York Times  and Forbes  and examples of other coverage .  --Arxiloxos (talk) 04:41, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep Article is well-developed, has been here since 2005, has hundreds of edits, and 57 citations.  With all the push that short articles need to be developed and expanded, the complaint seems to be that this article doesn't need as much content as it has.
