• What Hells Angels and drag queens can teach us about stigma

Thought you'd be interested in this as a possl source. The Cambridge Judge Business School website link is just an introduction to the actual paper which should be great for a citation or two. They say "Organisational stigma is better understood through the lens of 'Straight Outta Detroit' and 'RuPaul’s Drag Race', as illustrated by a special issue of the Journal of Management Studies co-edited and co-introduced by Thomas Roulet of Cambridge Judge Business School." ☆ Bri (talk) 03:08, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You seem to know a lot about restaurants and dining notability, so I wanted to ask you if you think Yardley Inn (an article at afd) is notable. Thanks. BeanieFan11 (talk) 14:06, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Another Believer has over 250 talkpage watchers so you might just get more interaction at this AfD than you expected because of that. That said, I have an opinion from interacting on some of the Portland restaurant AfDs and think I have a feel for how this will go, especially if people following AB attend Yardley Inn debate. Bottom line is that there has been some notability creep around restaruarant articles IMO. You can kiss off all the local media. Stuff like Philadelphia Inquirer will help only if it's a full article about that particular restaurant, and even then with a caveat. There's even been pushback on James Beard awards, Michelin starred reviews, and "best of city" by the city's newspaper of record, so it's an unreasonable uphill battle to demonstrate notability. If the deletion debate gets really involved, WP:SIRS will be applied source-by-source by some eager editor, maybe even in a table format, with "extreme prejudice" even towards something of the stature of The New York Times doing a restaurant review in their own delivery area (this is a real objection I saw in an AfD). See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daily Dozen Doughnut Company and expand the source table for an example. N.b. Zagat is deprecated by name at WP:RESTAURANTREVIEWS section of the criteria. From quick perusal I'd give the odds of survival at less than 50-50 at this point. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:28, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11 Thanks for the invite, but I'm not interested in weighing in here. Frankly, I'm exhausted by the shenanigans surrounding restaurant articles lately. A handful of editors have tried to make Wikipedia editing very frustrating for me ever since Draft:Daily Dozen Doughnut Company caused the earth's axis to shift. Happy editing! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:46, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
