RHaworth, sorry, ignore the ping. I was just copying the following to my own user space.

Still not ready

As I wrote back at Draft talk:Urth Caffe before author moved it here:

Not ready, IMO

In response to the author's request to return this to main space:

• "The Berkmans were interested in his coffee beans. The Berkmans decided to learn more about the process and environment practices of coffee bean cultivation and production, and they discovered many destructive practices that were used in coffee production that made it one of the most chemically treated food commodities in the world. Heirloom coffee trees are very rare and have never been genetically modified in any way." This begins with trivia (we would generally take for granted that the people who started a business in some field were interested in the field and learned about it before making a business out of it) and continues into advocacy, commentary, and promotion.
• "In popular culture" sections report on significant appearances of their subject in popular culture, such as would be the case if the cafe figured in a significant way in some film). They aren't lists of pop culture figures who patronize the article's subject. And the content in this section channels the owner creating her own buzz about the place, yakking about all the celebs who come buy from her. This isn't even from a reliable source meeting WP:V.
• Nearly all the sources cited are affiliated. This includes the one by East West Bank (a capital investor relating the story of a client) and one of the DT News stories ("From Our Advertisers"). The FSR article is a press release, stating at the bottom of the page, "News and information presented in this release has not been corroborated by FSR, Food News Media, or Journalistic, Inc." Most of the rest are routine press announcements of local store openings. The Culture Trip article alone may qualify toward notability.
• Significant coverage found by Google in independent sources primarily relates to a fire that occurred at one of its branches, which is really coverage about a local fire, not about the business; and to a lawsuit over an alleged incident involving discriminatory treatment.

@RHaworth: The creator got around the creation protection you put into effect at Urth Caffe, though this is apparently the correct orthography for the business's name. Largoplazo (talk) 19:12, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
