Deletion of List of fictional restaurants

Comment: WP:NOT|directory of unassocicated items. Practically every movie or TV show has at least one fictional restaurant in it. What does this tell us about fictional restaurants, the fiction from which the restaurant is drawn, their interrelationship or the world around us? Nothing. We are in no way served by a listing of every restaurant or diner that appeared in a single episode of a single TV show. If the fictional restaurant is indeed notable, if for example there are |reliable sources that support the notion that there were diners named "Mel's" that were founded based on the TV show, then they should have a standalone article and be in :Category:Fictional restaurants. But 99.9% of fictional restaurants are not and never will be notable and an endless list of them is not encyclopedic

Comment: Selective. woefully incomplete and arbitrary list. There have been literally hundreds of thousands of fictional restaurants. Why should Wikipedia have a list of some editors' favorite ones, which lack any independent reliable sources with substantial coverage, and so fail  and ?  Any notable fictional restaurants could be in a category

Comment: A problem with this list is that no |reliable source independent of the creator of the fictional restaurants is cited in the article. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4159/is_20040829/ai_n12760344 This first news article mentions two fictional restruants identified as "the best fictional restaurants I have ever read about." http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1282/is_7_59/ai_n19312058 This second news article mentions "there are ads for fictional local restaurants filling the intermission" and lists some names. Those should be entered on this list because there are |reliable sources for the entries. The actual entries on this list are not supported by reliable sources independent of the creator of the fictional restaurant entries. While the list is interesting, there are not enough reliable sources independent of the creator of the fictional restaurant entries to develop a list of more than a few entries in the list
