Declined speedy onn the grounds that there is 'some press coverage'; however almost any business of this kind will get some press. It's called PR, or local newspapers desperate to print something. IMO this is non-notable, and a look at what google comes up with does not persuade me otherwise; run-of-the -mill listings coverage. TheLongTone (talk) 15:13, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

• Delete: There are a couple of passing mentions in a Highbeam search, some more similar on Google, but the most substantial information that I can see is on a company press release [https://www.santandercb.co.uk/news/full-steam-ahead-chinese-buffet] (which obviously doesn't meet :WP:RS). Nothing there indicates that this is more than a firm with expansion plans, but not meeting :WP:CORPDEPTH. AllyD (talk) 16:25, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
• Weak Keep I found two newspaper reviews of two of the restaurants for secondary sources and added them to the article. I also expanded it just a bit to mention the cuisine, added a category and a wikilink. My !vote is weak because I'm leaning a bit toward thinking the article has been created a bit too soon for the chain to meet notability standards. I did find the two newspaper articles, [http://www.examiner.co.uk/whats-on/chinese-buffet-huddersfield-reminds-five-10913902] and [http://www.burytimes.co.uk/news/14304936.Success_on_a_plate_for_Bury_restaurant/], both of which were published just last month, about two of the chain's restaurants. At the same time, I'm leaning toward it being too soon to sweep this one into deletion just yet. The article is very new, but there are a few signs already to suggest notability. This is not, to my mind, a really clear cut example of yet another completely non-notable and completely unsourceable (is that a word?) restaurant chain. Thus my ambivalence.
