The Notability, and Promotional Tone of the Article

This article is about a defunct restaurant from Gainesville, Florida, a town with 133,000 people in it. It last operated in 2005, with its owner passing away in 2007. Its only claims to notoriety are road restaurant guides, that contains hundreds of other entries not having their own wikipedia pages; Archives of local Newspapers from 2-3 decades ago; Archives of College Students from 2 decades ago and a claim about locals and college students loving the restaurant, who if asked, would likely not remember the place or not be old enough to; and the uncited claim of two deceased musicians liking the restaurant

The Article, if it were not defunct, takes an extremely advertising role in its description and borders on a POV disclaimer. - AH (talk) 18:19, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
