Giapo
This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because it needs to be cleaned up for wikipedia's standards.

Review by mcorazao
Theoretically an article is not supposed to eligible for review if there are deletion and notability banners on it but I'll offer a few comments:
 * References:
 * A Youtube video in not a very good source. In this case it is both a self-published source and a primary source (primary sources are acceptable in limited cases but this one is plain bad).
 * I don't see anything in the MenuMania source except a listing of Giapo which says that 14 readers rated it well. That certainly does not back up its being "one of Auckland's Top Restaurants."
 * That leaves effectively just one source that has any real merit. Ideally it would be best to find hard sources (i.e. books). That's probably impossible since this is a new company so you should try to find more magazine and/or newspaper articles as sources.
 * Notability:
 * The article really doesn't explain the notability.
 * The largest cone thing is really just trivia. The "top restaurants" thing is not supported by the references.
 * If it has achieved some sort iconic status what is the extent of that status and where is the evideence.
 * Is it notable because the customer base is particularly large (hard to believe)?
 * In general the article is extremely low on content. What is the history of the company? What are the revenues. How many locations? etc., etc. etc. If there really isn't much to say then why is it notable?

Hope that helps.
