I believe this fails the tests for WP:N and WP:CORP. This article would need to be completely rewritten to escape the advertising tone it has now. I don't think it's notable enough to deserve the effort. Googling "Mud Coffee" in quotes produces 74,000 results but most of the top ones are either the business's own web presence or unrelated brands and techniques. Aside from a single write-up in the New York Times in 2001, which is the article's sole citation, I only found one other secondary source mention. Tisnec (talk) 17:35, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Searches for "Mudtruck" should also be included. Here is a third news mention, and a fourth here. Pyrrho the Skipper (talk) 18:50, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

None of those are in-depth. One says the outlet is on an indefinite hiatus, the other isn't even about this location but a sister location. HighKing⁺⁺ 15:05, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article is about the company and mentions the other locations, so I think coverage of the individual locations is coverage of the company, don't you? Also, I don't think it matters if the article talks about it closing. If it wasn't notable, why would anyone write about its closing? Pyrrho the Skipper (talk) 15:38, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Brief mentions are not in-depth coverage. See WP:CORPDEPTH. Also, no evidence that the sister location is the same company or a different company. HighKing⁺⁺ 12:59, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is a promotional article and the subject is a non-notable local coffee shop. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 21:49, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As noted would need a complete re-write given current overly promotional language. However, I'm not seeing significant coverage in multiple reliable sources to justify that. Also consider WP:AUD: "attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability." AusLondonder (talk) 12:58, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete I am unable to locate any deep or significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content, references to date fail the criteria for establishing notability, topic therefore fails WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 15:05, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
