Deletion Sorting
Project

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Food and drink. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Food and drink|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Food and drink. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

List of Michelin-starred restaurants in Andorra

Without broader coverage of Michelin-starred restaurants in Andorra as a group, the topic does not warrant a stand-alone list, especially with only a single entry and no reasonable expectation of more in the near future. Mooonswimmer 04:11, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Delete Per criteria G3. Looks like a case of disruptive editing/vandalism (first edit for the page has the comment "yeah im gonna die" ?). Given the author's user page (april fools day tag for user page edited on April 17. . .) and the general style of writing this article + account seems to have been created to waste other editors' time.
Anonrfjwhuikdzz (talk) 13:30, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe G3 applies to the current state of the article. While the edit summary in that revision states "yeah im gonna die," this alone doesn't constitute vandalism or a blatant hoax, which are the criteria required for a G3 speedy deletion. The content added in that revision does not appear to be false or intentionally disruptive, just a ton of typos and grammar issues.
Also, the state of their user page shouldn't affect the judgment of this article. We're here to assess whether the subject is notable based on the article itself, not based on anything related to their user page. AstrooKai (Talk) 11:11, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article mostly duplicates existing, better articles. It has featured various improvement tags dating back to 2008, and seemingly was PRODded in 2020 - which was only removed this week (I'm not sure how that happened). I think at this point it's fairly safe to say WP:TNT applies, as it's got very little reedeming it.

In addition the article seems largely to be an essay, failing WP:NOT. CoconutOctopus talk 13:01, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This description of an obscure energy drink doesn't pass notability guidelines. Its only indication of notability is association with Lil John. We don't make Wikipedia articles on subjects that are only "famous" because of their association with something or someone else, according to notability policies. Also, only one citation, from a business journal in 2007. AnonymousScholar49 (talk) 04:55, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Keep, nomination withdrawn by nominator. Further review of sources seems to indicate a bare minimum of notability for the subject‎. nf utvol (talk) 15:53, 5 May 2025 (UTC) (non-admin closure)[reply]

Non-notable restaurant (formerly a ShowBizz pizza location, now independent) that does not appear to have any SIGCOV outside of local media profiles. nf utvol (talk) 01:58, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Food and drink, Entertainment, and West Virginia. nf utvol (talk) 01:58, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Business-related deletion discussions. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 02:11, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: "Local media profiles" appears to be an inaccurate description. Several of the cited sources are news stories, not profiles, and at least two of the news sources are non-local: USA Today is a national news source, and while WOAY-TV is from West Virginia, Oak Hill, West Virginia isn't local—I live just a few miles from the restaurant, though I've never been there, and we've never gotten WOAY in this area; our local ABC affiliate is WCHS-TV. Oak Hill isn't part of the local area; it's more than 90 miles away. The coverage looks like what you would expect for a local attraction, and is more than you'd see for some that meet the minimum standards for notability. The fact that it was once part of a chain—many years ago, apparently—does not make it non-notable as an independently-operated restaurant with a distinctive identity. P Aculeius (talk) 11:47, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The USA Today article doesn't mention Billy Bob's Wonderland at all. I think the WOAY and WCHS coverage still would fall under local interest stories. The DCist article is the only one that really would satisfy non-local coverage, and I am not sure that passes the reliable sources test. nf utvol (talk) 00:24, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I see what you mean about USA Today. Perhaps this could be solved by merging into Showbiz Pizza. The fate of restaurants that "divorced" from the chain but still maintained the basic concepts and show seem relevant, and since the parent article has major sources, there shouldn't be any issue with using local sources to describe the fate of one such restaurant in one or two short paragraphs. If others are documentable, they can be added too, and a section containing them could be trimmed accordingly, but for now I think some of this content could go there.

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
    1. Maurer, Pablo Iglesias (2015-04-22). "And The Animatronic Band Played On: The Troubled Afterlife Of The Rock-afire Explosion". DCist. Archived from the original on 2025-04-26. Retrieved 2025-04-26.

      That the Washington, D.C.-based website DCist covered a Barboursville, West Virginia–based restaurant strongly contributes to notability.

      The article notes: "In Barboursville, West Virginia, at Billy Bob’s Pizza Wonderland, they’re on a perpetual reunion tour. ... One of Barboursville’s social hubs—an anchor of a strip mall on the edge of the village—is Billy Bob’s Pizza Wonderland, a modern-day rendition of Showbiz Pizza Place. Billy Bob’s was buzzing, with shrieking kids working a smorgasbord of arcade machines and stuffing their faces—like animatrons—with cheap pizza. Overworked parents sat at tables, dazed by the roar of video games. The Rock-afire were hiding in plain sight, the curtains drawn on three tell-tale stages in front of a hundred empty seats. ... Aaron Fechter sold this particular Rock-afire set to Rex Donahue — the proprietor of Billy Bob’s — in 1989, when he realized his band didn’t have a future at Chuck E. Cheese."

    2. Skeldon, Katherine (2022-07-29). "One Tank Trip: Billy Bob's Wonderland". WOAY-TV. Archived from the original on 2025-04-26. Retrieved 2025-04-26.

      The article notes: "Dating back over 30 years, Billy Bob’s Wonderland in Barboursville, WV is an indoor entertainment center for the whole family. It comes complete with a variety of old-school arcade games, mini golf, laser tag, and an authentic animatronic band known as the Rock-afire Explosion. This week’s One Tank Trip takes us on the 1 hour and 35-minute drive to Billy Bob’s to get a look at all of the fun to be had behind its doors. ... Formally known as Showbiz Pizza, Billy Bob’s was rebranded to become what it is today. But, one corner of the place still remains the same, and that’s where the Rock-afire Explosion performs. After a long process and luck on their side, it’s the last animatronic band from the 80s and 90s era left standing in the whole country that can legally claim to be an original Rock-afire band."

    3. Sebert, Paul (2011-06-30). "Billy Bob's offers something for everyone". The Herald-Dispatch. Archived from the original on 2025-04-26. Retrieved 2025-04-26.

      The article notes: "The timing of this "brand unification" couldn't have been much worse for Rex Donohue, who had just opened a Showbiz Pizza franchise in 1989. Donohue decided to keep the original characters and rename the restaurant Billy Bob's Wonderland. Today it's one of the few places in the country left with the original animatronics. He eventually moved the restaurant in 2003 to its current location at 5 Cracker Barrel Drive and also now features laser tag, go-carts and miniature golf."

    4. Pace, Fred (2023-08-03). "Business Beat: Fun City Arcade acquires Billy Bob's Wonderland". The Herald-Dispatch. Archived from the original on 2025-04-26. Retrieved 2025-04-26.

      The article notes: "Mark Hoffman, owner of Fun City Arcade, recently acquired Billy Bob’s Wonderland and combined the businesses after moving from the Huntington Mall to Billy Bob’s in Barboursville."

    5. Sebert, Paul (2015-05-19). "Rock-Afire Explosion gets makeover at Billy Bob's". The Herald-Dispatch. Archived from the original on 2024-11-12. Retrieved 2025-04-26.

      The article notes: "Originally established as a Showbiz Pizza Place, Billy Bob's went independent after the chain merged with Chuck E. Cheese. While most of the original Showbiz restaurants were eventually converted to Chuck E. Cheeses, Billy Bob's Wonderland retained the original animatronics. Today Billy Bob's is one of the only places in America where fans can still see Billy Bob, Fatz, Mitzi, Looney Bird, and the rest of the gang. ... Billy Bob's still features an assortment of pizzas ranging from an 8-inch small cheese pizza for $9.95 to a 16-inch large pizza for $14.95. Specialty pies include a meat lovers pizza, a veggie pizza, and a combo pizza featuring pepperoni, peppers, onions and sausage. ... Billy Bobs has a laser-tag arena and an arcade. In April the mini-golf course will re-open. The go-kart course is currently closed and may not re-open for this year's season."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Billy Bob's Wonderland to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".

    Cunard (talk) 08:10, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Those sources were addressed above. Except for the DCist article, they're local human-interest stories that are of questionable usefulness in establishing notability. The real question here is whether or not a single DCist article + local interest stories is enough to satisfy WP:NORG. nf utvol (talk) 13:56, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
DCist is based in Washington, D.C., which is a nonlocal source. The Herald-Dispatch is a regional newspaper that "serves Huntington, West Virginia, and neighboring communities in southern Ohio and eastern Kentucky". Both of these sources meet Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Audience. I consider these sources to be sufficiently reliable, independent, and significant to establish notability under Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria.
