 *  Delete, neither the original nor the first (quote) 1867 - Charles Feltman (1841-1910), a German butcher, opened up the first Coney Island hot dog stand in Brooklyn, New York (unquote)Alf photoman 13:11, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Neither the article nor the restaurant make any claim to being original or being the first. It is simply the name of the establishment. SliceNYC 22:46, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Many ghits under various search terms, the O has received much media coverage, in addition to being featured on TV. It's also something of a Pittsburgh institution -- and though this borders on WP:ILIKEIT it is a big part of that region's culture. I'll get to work on improving the article.

 * Keep: I am going to work on this this week to fix it. it's a pretty big landmark in Pittsburgh (not to mention a great place for French fries and getting shot), and it deserves a decent article, so I will work toward that goal. --Chris Griswold (  ☎  ☓  ) 02:33, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per SliceNYC and sources. Landmark business. --Oakshade 08:10, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Judging from the current state of the article it seems like Tarret's concerns are being addressed. The O is a pillar of Pittsburgh culture. P4k 15:01, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep The article needs work, but the historical and cultural relevance of the institution warrant the O having an article. Carboneyes 17:18, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
