Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Your Black Muslim Bakery
Did a Google News search http://news.google.com/archivesearch?hl=en&ned=us&ie=UTF-8&q=%22your+black+muslim+bakery%22 which shows 304 news stories over very long span of years, including a long story about the bakery in the Oakland Tribune June 16, 1974, which called it the"largest Bay area bakery specializing exclusively in natural food products." It had attained notability by the 1990's due to its commercial prominence as well as the operators' influence in local politics, even without the recent accusations of rape, kidnapping, murder, and torture. Notability is not temporary and in no way ends when a business folds. Substantial coverage (though not main subject) in International Herald Tribune, not a "local" news source http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/02/19/america/Polk-Awards.php , also coverage in today's New York Times http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/02/19/abandonment-of-javits-expansion-stirs-opposition/. California papers continue steady coverage of the recent crime stories months after they broke. See http://www.mercurynews.com/breakingnews/ci_8142205  . Seems more than the typical local interest crime story, or lurid crime which gets a splash of widespread publicity. Satisfies . My neighborhood bakery tends not to get nationwide coverage for murder, rape, conspiracy, etc
