The company seems to be a none notable franchise of Dunkin' Donuts that was only around for a few years. Most of the sources come from a single website that appears to be a news blog. Them and the other sources are trivial coverage. All that said, I'd be fine with it being merged into the normal Dunkin' Donuts article as an alternative to deletion if it's notable enough to be merged.

merge to Dunkin' Donuts. A paragraph in the main article should be more than enough coverage.Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 12:18, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - More than enough sourcing to support WP:GNG. - Galatz גאליץ ^{שיחה Talk} 17:51, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It seems you didn't even check the articles to see if they actually supported notability. Most of them are not about the company and just trivially mention it in passing, and one doesn't even have any mention of Donkin' Donuts at all. Notability requires in-depth coverage in reliably secondary sources. Which trivial mentions don't count as. More so though with articles that have zero to do with them and where they aren't even mentioned in. --Adamant1 (talk) 02:23, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I am unable to locate any significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content. I don't believe it merits a merge or redirect. Topic fails GNG/WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 13:05, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Certainly if there's no consensus to merge, a redirect to Dunkin' Donuts is in order. they are cheap after all. It strikes me as plausible search topic. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 21:53, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Response I disagree. I can't envisage any situation where people aren't just searching for the main topic (Dunkin' Donuts). A paragraph on country-specific information within a main article suffices if required. A redirect is overkill. Just my 2c - I wouldn't care if there was a redirect in any case but in that case you'll have over-zealous editors creating a redirect for each country which would turn into a ridiculous state of affairs.

Merge to Dunkin' Donuts § International as per WP:ATD-M. This section of the main article has information for locations in South Korea, Brazil, Colombia, Sweden, Spain, Canada and Japan, as well as information about other countries as well. It makes no particular sense to omit Israel while including all of the other country locations. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 12:50, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep--this is better developed than I thought it would be. Everyone knows that Jewish pastries are tasty--and the question of whether a multinational corporation can compete in such a competitive environment is a worthy one. Economists have noticed the reverse phenomenon with respect to tech companies and Japan--a Japanese tech company competitive in Japan is likely to do well internationally due to the the extreme competitive nature of Japan's economic situation. Some countries are worthy of special attention due to being a testing lab so-to-speak. A mere redirect would not do this question justice. I suppose other challenging markets for Dunkin Donuts would be the Czech Republic and France. I checked and it seems this page was created well over a decade after the Israel branch folded. It was created by User:Galatz, who has a banner on his page about how he observes the Sabbath. Why would he be interested in Dunkin Donuts failing in Israel? Well, if I was Czech and Dunkin Donuts failed in the Czech Republic I'd say its proof that my mother's kolaches are superior.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 01:30, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the above, but all of it fits well in the parent article. It is short already and can be condensed further. There is no need for a stand-alone for this, certainly not for a defunct organisation. Havradim (talk) 22:11, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I encourage you to spend some time on the Hebrew Wikipedia. Even on Google translate, you may find some interesting jokes worked into the articles. For example, the article on "Lutheranism" has a picture of a Lutheran church in Australia boasting a prominent Star of David. Maybe it just caught someone's eye as a non-sequitur, but it also seems to be insinuating that Lutherans are crypto-Jews! (Those parts of the Reformation about relying on the scripture and not having a pope, and the doctrine of Justification as being the doctrine on which the church stands and falls, ("the true Kabbalah" as mentioned briefly in On the Freedom of a Christian)...just where did Luther get those ideas from? Who was right there in Germany? Touche!) The English Wikipedia could use some Jewish insight and humor. Better than making the reader do Google translate on the Hebrew one.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 02:58, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Dunkin Donuts#International. Not clear why we need a separate article on the Israeli branch. Number 5 7 18:35, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge insufficient sourcing in either literature or news outlooks to provide the topic with sustained coverage. Not, perhaps, a surprise; what next, the steakhouse on Leytonstone High Road? ——SN 54129 17:48, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per North America - Not enough coverage to warrant a seperate article however as the DD article contains other branches I don't really see a reason to exclude it from there. –Davey2010^Talk 18:39, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
