- Strong Keep Planet Sub is just as popular of a restaurant in the Midwest as any other regionally-based sandwich shop. As the entry stated before the deletion nominator had his way with it, there are many location spread out through the Great Plains, i.e. this is not simply a single location. In addition, Yello Sub, Planet Sub's predecessor, enjoys a long and upstanding history in the midwest and college towns in general. Finally, this entry has survived edits and views by many upstanding wikipedians with no recourse for more than three years. Isn't that the point of Wikipedia, i.e. to spread knowledge of that which isn't known? Simply because an editor from Maryland has never heard of the restaurant and has no idea to its history, does that make it eligible for elimination? Flibbert (talk) 03:26, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- You've still not established notability of this article through reliable sources. I cannot take your word on how notable it is. If it's so notable, there must be reliable sources that confirm it, riiiiiiiight? SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:43, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I guess we will let the majority vote decide its fate. However, a simply Google search brings up 23,000 hits. Does this make it notable? Some would assume so. However, once again, simply being unknowing of an entity does not mean that it is unimportant nor non-notable. Maybe you have never done research on restaurants outside of your own personal space. Maybe you have never been out of your own state. Who knows? I tend to "accept the knowledge of others" when I don't understand something. Research 101, I guess. I personally have never heard of "Rogers Heritage High School" and a Google search of that brings up a mere 1,720 hits...you may notice that there is not a AfD on that. In addition, I appreciate your sarcasm through this article's fate as well. You have established yourself as one who dislikes looking anything that isn't simply physically in front of you. Riiiiiiiiiiight? Flibbert (talk) 05:26, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- And yet still no reliable sources added to corroborate notability. SchuminWeb (Talk) 06:09, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- So maybe you could help out. Do some research..contribute! Be Bold! Flibbert (talk) 15:58, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Although the nominator of should do some research first before nominating, the onus on providing sourcing is with the editors advocating they be kept, especially if they are the article's creator. Telling somebody else to be bold and do the research when you haven't bothered to do it yourself is poor behaviour. -- Whpq (talk) 16:42, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - Interspersed between press releases and event sponsorship announcements are also actual article in newspapers including [1], [2], and [3]. There's more including what look to be more substantial stories behind pay walls but this should be enough to establish that there is notability and more sources can be found. -- Whpq (talk) 16:42, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
