The Great Kathmandu
Advertisement. Would have WP:PROD'd but this article has a previous AfD closed as delete here: Articles for deletion/The Great Kathmandu. The new article has references and pictures, but I don't think this qualifies as a notable eatery -- Samir  धर्म 00:59, 26 August 2006 (UTC) Comment There is alot of information about the business on the site now and if you ask most people in the north west about the Great Kathmandu they will tell you of its importance. The detail contained with in is no different to most of the establishments listed on wikipedia and I for one have not heard of some of them either and feel they have less importance then this artical. if you check google the Great Kathmandu has over 900 hits and is one of the first to come up when you type nepalese and Didsbury. The fact that people have logged on just to comment about this deletion shows that they care enough about this artical. I have informed people at the AGM of the Yeti Assoc. The Yeti Assoc is a organisation that tries to promote Nepalese culture in the UK and the world. Expect to see more information added to the artical by its members and suporters. More Nepalese related articals will follow. Harbourcoat 11:43, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Nomination withdrawn. Article has expanded and, despite the socks, there is assertion of notability that may be substantiated by more information forthcoming from the original author.  I'll work on the article with the original author, and if it's still insufficient, I'll re-nominate -- Samir   धर्म 12:08, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Have to disagree with Samir. It certainly is not an ad. the user who created must think it is important and notable. But to me, an Indian restaurant is non notable. --Ageo020 01:06, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete still not notable, and fails under WP:CORP and WP:V --Wafulz 01:14, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Weak Keep 500 google hits and the newspaper award make a fair (although not great) case for notability. I don't see how it fails WP:V. Weak on the WP:CORP count, but it's not spam. Irongargoyle 01:23, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment where is the WP:CORP in the article? "Winner of the Observer Reader's best Indian restaurant in the UK 2000" does not qualify as multiple non-trivial works published -- Samir   धर्म 01:40, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment The Observer has been in circulation since 1791 and was the worlds first Sunday Newspaper so I regard its opinions very highly. Recent modifications should bring this articals WP:CORP up to speed. Harbourcoat 03:58, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * A readers choice poll in any newspaper does not make a restaurant notable. Wikpedia is not a place for people to advertise restaurants.  -- Samir   धर्म 05:00, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, just not notable enough. Aplomado  talk 01:33, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I feel it meets the WP:CORP and WP:V guidelines. I live in didsbury and know of this establishment. I will see if I can dig up some stuff to add to the page. JasonNox 01:35, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment, first edit ever is to this AfD -- Samir  धर्म 01:40, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I think that it will add some more culture to Wikipedia That cant be a bad thing. Ageo020 you comment about the restaurant is not correct I think it is an Nepalese business. I will wait and see what Jason adds to the artical. SmegTronic 01:45, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment second edit ever is to this AfD. It must be laundry day -- Samir   धर्म 01:47, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - reader's choice awards are a complete hodgepodge and means very little. Something a bit more substantial than that will be needed. -- Whpq 03:31, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete... listed on several dining websites and winning a reader's choice award adds up to "so what?" as a majority of restaurants can probably make that claim. No evidence that WP:CORP is met. WP:NOT Zagat's Guide or the Yellow Pages. -- Kinu t /c  05:29, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete i've seen fast food restaurants make flyers more substantial than this article --W guice 16:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. The award is from the Observer, a leading national Sunday newspaper in the UK, not a local newspaper different place each week thing. Nuttah68 20:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per Nuttah68. Daniel's page    ☎  01:29, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep It should stay I feel. I would love for JasonNox to add some more information to it Harbourcoat 03:13, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think it meets WP:CORP and living in didsbury I know how important this establishment is in the North West. Feel some people are on a power trip to shut down anything that is non-conformist to there personal views. The Great Kathmandu is here to stay and I will be adding verious other important articals for my fellow residents of Didsbury and the North West of England. Afterall, wikipedia is international right? MujiKha 19:49, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment editor's first day and 10th contrib -- Samir  धर्म 05:21, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Non-notable, unsourced, advertised, drivel.-Kmaguir1 06:09, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
