Zoka Coffee Roaster & Tea Company

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Local coffee shop, notability is not asserted to explain why it is different from any other small business around the world. Source provided of local magazine with short blurbs of their favorite shops would not be significant coverage, even if Zoka were listed – subject is not even in it!

 * Weak delete, though I could be persuaded to change to 'weak keep' if anyone can find anything else about Zoka. I agree the coffee shop review currently used as a citation doesn't mention Zoka. They are a long established coffee company, they were subject of an article in the Seattle Times, but this was entirely based on a rumour that Soka was in financial difficulty ...is this something the company would want to be notable for? There is one very good online article in the Puget Sound Business Journal (though some may consider that only 'local'). A review by the Coffee Chaser says the company have been "below the radar", which suggests to me they haven't sought publicity, leading me to think there may not be much pre-internet (despite the company having quite some longevity). Probably fails WP:NCORP. Sionk (talk) 10:39, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
