Is a bakery a restaurant? Is a network a restaurant or a network?Xx236 (talk) 08:34, 18 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

The Iron Horse (restaurant) does not exist any more, I would prefer at least two sub-lists - the existsing ones and former ones. Xx236 (talk) 08:38, 18 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Xx236 What makes a restaurant notable? Sufficient secondary coverage. Are the ones listed notable? Yes, as far as I can tell. Is a bakery a restaurant? Yes: Restaurant says, "A restaurant is a business that prepares and serves food and drinks to customers." We can easily separate current and defunct restaurants, per List of restaurants in Portland, Oregon. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 13:37, 18 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

What is 'sufficient'? Michelin Guide does not cover Seattle. Xx236 (talk) 05:56, 19 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps instead of "sufficient", I should say "significant" per Wikipedia:Notability#General_notability_guideline. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:12, 19 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

What constitutes a chain

Latest comment: 2 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Maybe more than a couple of Seattle locations, or locations outside the city of Seattle. The article Taco Del Mar is underdeveloped, but they have two Hawaii locations that I know of. ☆ Bri (talk) 22:34, 18 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Bri Good question. I wish there were an official definition of (restaurant) "chain". I've worked on many articles about Portland restaurants and I've seen similar inconsistency. Some restaurants have multiple locations within Portland but aren't really described as chains. Some have multiple locations within the city and are described as chains or "chainlets". Some restaurants have originated in Portland and have one or two locations in others cities; sometimes these are described as chains, other times not. I'm afraid without an official definition, we might just have to go on a case by case basis per sourcing. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:19, 27 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
