Talk:Black Rock, Buffalo

message: Notable places and events
* Amherst Street
Amherst Street between Military Road and Elmwood Avenue contains the only Wegmans supermarket in Buffalo, an antique store, two art galleries, two recording studios, the  recently expanded Gambinos Liquor Store and several restaurants and taverns. A plaza at its intersection with Grant Street contains  a Tops supermarket, an independent large pizzeria, a Burger King and other stores. This area is considered by area residents to be Downtown Black Rock.
* Sportsmen's Tavern and Music Hall
Located at 326 Amherst Street just west of Grant Street it was recently expanded to two floors with a cutout of the ceiling of the first floor over the stage. It is has been owned by local resident and musician Dwane Hall since 1985. It offers live music every day of the week, often two or more bands in one day. The cover charge varies from as little as three dollars to several times that amount for prominent touring bands. Mr. Hall also owns the adjoining Sessions Recording Studio. There is an outside patio on the second floor surrounding both buildings from which patrons can observe the street activity below. Draft beer brewed in the adjoining neighborhood of Riverside is among the selections. The long established Stone Counnty Band which Hall started before purchasing the Tavern plays there once or twice a month. His smaller band, The Twang Gang plays the early show on Tuesdays.The Sportsmens Tavern Turns Roadhouse 1 September 2011 Buffalo Rising Retrieved 1 January 2013.

replies: text: Archie, I guess I will need to repeat myself again.  The question isn't any of the establishment's existence.  No-one doubts that, I think.  The general practice at all settlement articles is to limit the use of specific business names, as they are generally of interest only to the local community, and the article is to be written for a world audience.  Generally, specific businesses are only mentioned in lists of largest employers, which isn't really an appropriate section for a neighborhood, or if the business is notable on its own.  The listing of the supermarket and Burger king just isn't going to be encyclopedic.  Outside of your community, nobody cares if the liquor store was recently expanded.  The guy who owns the bar got 1 google hit as a back-up musician to another artist---not notable per WP:NMUSIC.  The band got two google hits, a myspace page and a youtube vid--neither WP:RS.  The bar itself only has a couple articles in local media, nothing beyond the Buffalo area, which means that it too is not notable per WP:ORG.  The paragraphs you have written here are strictly WP:PROMO.  And since less than 30 people watch this article, I will post a notice at wikiproject Cities to try to get some further input for you.
