Comment: as index of articles per  and as complement to :Category:Buffet restaurants per . There are notable buffet restaurants. We list and categorize articles by what their subjects are. It's just as simple as that, and commenters above need to read ''all'' of NOTDIR, which clearly states just that. They are also not understanding what "without context" means because "buffet restaurant" is plainly defined both by the intro and the linked article buffet, so we know what this list and its corresponding category should include

Comment: This list of notable restaurants qualifies for an article per  relative to :Category:Buffet restaurants and also functions as a valuable information source and navigational aid, as per . This is demonstrated in part per the page views that the article receives compared to the category page: The list article has received an average of 160 page views per day between 1/1/2020 and 6/30/2020 (https://pageviews.toolforge.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2020-01-01&end=2020-06-30&pages=List_of_buffet_restaurants link), whereas during the same time period, the category page has only received an average of 4 page views per day (https://pageviews.toolforge.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2020-01-01&end=2020-06-30&pages=Category:Buffet_restaurants link). The list clearly has more utility for  compared to the category, and furthermore, contrary to the nomination for deletion, this list article ''does'' provide context information, specifically in its lead section. Some entries on the list also have descriptions, and more can easily be added. Also, contrary to WP:NOTDIRECTORY, this is a discriminate, refined list that only includes topics that have their own articles on Wikipedia. It is not an indiscriminate list of all buffet restaurants in the world, nor is it a list of loosely associated topics or a yellow pages type page that has contact information such as phone numbers, fax numbers and e-mail addresses. This article has none of this. As such, WP:NOTDIRECTORY is being misapplied toward this article
