Contested deletion[edit]

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because it does assert significance. The fact that it has existed for 31 years, is a fixture in the Vietnamese community of New Orleans (as noted in the article), provisions ethnic specialties that are unusual and in some cases unique, was opened by Vietnamese immigrant whose story encompasses that of New Orleans pre and post Katrina, and because it's received substantial coverage in reliable independent sources all establishes that it is not a speedy deletion candidate. It's a new article that should be expanded further with the sources already in it and others that are available. We shouldn't delete an article about a subject that is culturally significant and important. We certainly shouldn't be speedy deleting this type of article. Wikipedia is insular enough as it is.

In response to your concerns, I have removed the speedy deletion request and opened Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dong Phuong Oriental Bakery. WWGB (talk) 22:57, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Translation[edit]

The business's website says the name means East. Google translate gave me a result of Eastern, although now I am only able to come up with Đồng Phượng which separated out translates as Eastern Phoenix. Maybe someone fluent in Vietnamese can help clarify? Candleabracadabra (talk) 19:44, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The proper diacritics are Đông Phương, which means "The Orient", or "[Far-]Eastern" when used as an adjective. Đồng Phượng would mean "phoenix's copper" or the nonsensical "co-phoenix". – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 04:14, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
