This article has basically been ghostwritten by a person representing Yellow Rat Bastard. The business is not very notable (very few people know of its existence, even for the people who walk by Broadway every day) and from the image, it seems like a local mom and pop shop, which is clearly not notable. The creator of the page is a user account User:Shadowlurker112 which has made 3 edits, and all of them to this article. Clearly a promotional account. In recent times, an editor User:YRBNewYork has also edited the article and was blocked because of failing to disclose COI and their username was promotional. I fail to see how this is notable in anyway, plus on top of the fact that promotional accounts have ghostwritten the entire article leads me to nominating this for deletion.

- Delete as it stands. No indicia of encyclopedic notability. BD2412 T 02:08, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete doing a quick search yields very few related results for the location, just seems to be a shop who wants a Wikipedia page. i2n2z 12:15, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. When {{U|Shadowlurker112}} created this, a person could brush off a WP:DCOI issue, but in it's been common knowledge for many years that we are not a free social media platform. Bearian (talk) 09:27, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
