A Finnish restaurant in Canada. "World famous" status should be confirmed. Following advice on Wikipedia:Deadend pages. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk, automation script)]] 05:50, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

This restaurant is the subject of a travel article in the Washington Times by Harvey Hagman, June 28, 2003. "The Hoito seats 110 and daily serves 500 to 800 meals. Often a line of locals dragging guests, curious tourists and homesick Finns makes the wait 30 minutes to get a stool at the counter or a seat at wooden tables." It's a tourist attraction. Keep. --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 13:52, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Delete. A reporter that ate there didn't make it notable. Mikkalai 21:35, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

'Weak Keep. It's rather famous, but I don't really know what to compare it with. [[User:Rhymeless|Rhymeless | (Methyl Remiss)]] 20:29, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Keep this article on a world famous tourist attraction. [[User:GRider|GRider\^talk]] 18:34, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Keep. Needs clean up. I think that the Washington Times called it "locally famous". "World famous" in Ontario. Big_Iron 10:50, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Is this advertising?

Particularly the 'where is it' section looks like advertising, right down to having the phone number so you can call for a reservation. Does this belong in an encyclopedia? I'd remove it but there wouldn't be (almost) any article left!

I agree, the phone number/ reservations info and maybe even the street adress should be removed, otherwise it is nothing but an advertisement. A brief article is better than an advertisement. Paradiso 00:55, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
