{{AFC submission|d|reason|An article for Just Salad was nominated for deletion in December 2024, which resulted in a "soft delete" (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Just Salad). The nominator pointed out several requests for deletion in the last article's talk page, and that Just Salad fails WP:NCORP. You may want to seek undeletion of that article first at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion, because if I approved this one, it may just not survive another AfD.|u=Hannmarie101|ns=118|decliner=AstrooKai|declinets=20250128214015|small=yes|ts=20250128212459}}

{{AFC comment|1=Closer than where it was after the December deletion discussion. But, as of now, [https://www.fastcompany.com/91265491/tired-of-menu-overload-let-just-salads-ai-find-your-perfect-bowl this reference] from Fast Company is the only one I can find that meets WP:ORGCRIT.
