The Hot Box
Local non-notable "hot" cafe. Author removed Speedy Delete yesterday and Prod tag today. Mattisse(talk) 13:56, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete tag was removed after article cleaned up according to Wikipedia policy. Speedy Delete tag was incorrectly labelled and improperly applied to article in development state. Article is being updated.  Patience is a virtue.  TurntableX 13:58, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * While I agree that the SPD tag was improper, I'm also of the opinion that the establishment fails to meet Wikipedia's notability considerations (or perhaps more specifically, Wikipedia's No Original Research guideline which is frequently ignored). Weak delete.  CPAScott 14:17, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * WP:OR is a policy not a guideline. Yomangani 14:42, 9 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete - per nom and WP:OR. Yomangani 14:42, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - I was not the person putting the Speedy on, but CSD7 of Speedy would cover this category. Further, admins review all Speedys. You can put "hang-on" to contest it but you are not supposed to remove the Speedy template. Mattisse(talk) 14:49, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as NN business establishment. I don't think we have a guideline for restaurants but certainly fails WP:CORP.  May be notable if you're a few meters downwind of the weed. -- Slowmover 15:42, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The establishment is notable and the petty bias here is unfortunate. The NOR claim is bogus and unsubstantiated by editors who are clearly unfamiliar with the subject. This is a globally-known peaceful destination for the celebration of cannabis and its culture.  Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia, please do not vandalize this entry any further.

 * Comment. No, not really.  The article on Kensington Market doesn't mention it, and most people in Toronto wouldn't know it.  There's a Google cache from the Ryerson student paper here, and the Toronto Star gave it some attention here.  I know a coffee shop in Saigon and I live halfway around the world: I guess that makes it globally-known, too. :-)) -- Slowmover 15:56, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. And a reminder that the nomination itself was based on a misleading and false Wikipedia submission made within seconds of the original creation of this entry. TurntableX 15:52, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Reply -- Not true. I didn't know about the Speedy until after my nomination. Further, regardless, you still have to meet WP:N, WP:V and WP:OR. Mattisse(talk) 16:22, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. wikipediatrix 16:26, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect to Kensington Market per present content. --Slgr @ ndson (page - messages - contribs) 16:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Mattisse(talk). Tychocat 22:08, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
