New Article

Please let me know if anyone has any concerns about this article. I hope to do some more on some of the best and most unique LA offerings. ChildofMidnight (talk) 06:14, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion?

I have sourced several news stories to demonstrate notability and provide verifiability. The news coverage demonstrates that Joan's has become a major foodie insitution in Los Angeles. ChildofMidnight (talk) 06:53, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

let's consider these policies: WP:NOTTRAVEL and Notability (restaurants) A ntv (talk) 07:31, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I appreciate your concern. But Joan's is an LA landmark like Zabar's and Dean & DeLuca's in New York and like other food related articles on LA restaurants including Canter's Deli and Tommy's.

I provided quite a few references to establish notability, this isn't just any old restaurant. If you search on yahoo and google there are lots of articles about the company's catering, popularity with celebrities etc. etc. Seriously it's a major gourmet food store in LA, which would constitute original research, except I think I've supported it with references. I'm going to sleep, but I hope I'll have a chance to address any concerns tomorrow. Thank you. ChildofMidnight (talk) 07:38, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Just one other note, I haven't had a chance to chase down these article's yet, but if you go to http://www.joansonthird.com/press.htm you can see their quotes from stories in major media outlets across the country like the Wall Street Journal and New York Times Magazine.

"Expert" opinion

As one of the people who works predominantly on food service articles, this article sucks. Harsh I know, but while it meets WP:Note it violates WP:Not and WP:NPOV so badly I believe that it cannot be saved. I cleaned it up a little but it needs major work. I will give it until Friday to remove the weasel words and peacock statements, copy edit out the ad-speak and find more citations that meet WP:RS or I will put it up for an AfD.

I ask that the primary author please read up on all of the policies I listed and get cracking, time is wasting and this article will be deleted with extreme prejudice very shortly if it is not fixed in a timely manner. --Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 08:33, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Okay. Thank you for the opportunity to fix it and the time you've taken to edit. I appreciate it and I will follow through. ChildofMidnight (talk) 08:35, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
