No indication of notability per WP:GNG or WP:CORPDEPTH. Coverage appears to be incidental or trivial. West Eddy (talk) 02:10, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Is this based upon a source search, or just based upon the state of the article at the time of the above !vote? Northamerica1000^(talk) 11:37, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Here's a source that indicates topic notability:

week Keep Seem to be enough refs for notability ; they're not as substantial as I would like, but most chains of this size are notable . DGG ( talk ) 00:49, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The provided sources do not meet the required standards of notability as they consist primarily of passing mention (the recycling, voting), a "best of" poll, and a fund raising event that the company participated in. None of the articles are about the company, its products, its business or history. Having pizza boxes that are recyclable is nice, getting out the vote is a great civic thing and helping sick kids is admirable, but it doesn't show how the company is notable beyond periphery business practices. The provided references establish verifiability of the chains existence but lack any form of depth and do not confer notability as a pizza chain. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 04:27, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Did you search for additional sources, or is this !vote above based upon those only presented in this discussion? Perhaps consider source searching for additional reliable sources if you haven't done so already. Northamerica1000^(talk) 11:28, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Information from: Masotti, Stefanie (June 17, 2011). "Gabriel Pizza tops Ottawa's Best Pizza list". CTV. Retrieved May 13, 2012. {{cite web}}: External link in |publisher= (help):

“

Showing that success can be replicated, the many locations of Gabriel Pizza have been voted as Ottawa's Best Pizza – the first chain to win the honour this summer.

The restaurant's 25 locations (with two opening soon) across Eastern Ontario and Quebec began with a spot on St. Joseph Boulevard in Orleans in 1977, before expanding across the eastern end of Ottawa then into Kanata in 2000.

Comment - Trivial mention is trivial mention and routine coverage is routine coverage; none of these sources confer notability because of those factors. If you want to save the article, stop using these types of sources and switch up your searches to include an industry trade mag or two from Canada to see if they have any coverage that meets the standard. If this is an up and coming chain, there will be coverage in one or more of them.
Here are some lists that can help you:
If you cannot find any sources about the chain in those sites, then your arguments are still going to be moot. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 17:29, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
