Notes[edit]

Can we have some discussion about deletion even if the tag is removed?

Is there any reason not to remove a page that substantially replicates an auto-generated page? Lawdroid (talk) 22:22, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not attached to this page; its content was spun off from Pizzeria. However, WP:PROD tags must not be reinserted if removed. Any such discussion should take place at WP:AFD. Sandstein 22:37, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, cool. Lawdroid (talk) 23:02, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

removal[edit]

I vote to remove this page. google is the place to look up a pizza restaurant and this article is less than complete. If it was based on some varifiable source like top 50 restaurant chains by turnover I can see the point. As it it it serves no purpose as a reference resource in WP 80.169.223.130 (talk) 12:36, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What's the criteria for what's included and what's not?[edit]

I notice Jets isn't on the list, yet Happys is. Jets is a much bigger chain than Happys, neither is really a "national" chain, so why one included and not the other.76.226.119.1 (talk) 06:08, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The criteria is on the edit page in the form of an edit notice. Here is a copy:

When adding new chains to this template, please follow these guidelines:

Please do not add chains that have less than a hundred or so locations.
You should only include chains that are national or are in a sizable region of a country. For example, if a chain has only a few locations in a single U.S. state, it should not be included.
Please only include chains that have an article on Wikipedia, do not add red links or external links.

Not all Pizzerias are members of a chain[edit]

"Pizzeria" re-directs here to "List of pizza chains". This is not the same thing. I was expecting an article on Pizzerias as a type of restaurant.

Pizzerias are not all members of a chain, I suspect this is a North American phenomenan. In Europe, and especially in Italy, they are mostly individual restaurants run by the owner. The chains are regarded by many as "Inferior" to a proper Italian pizzeria. TiffaF (talk) 10:53, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Pizzeria" no longer redirects to "List of pizza chains". I have written a proper article about pizzerias. JIP | Talk 20:58, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
