Is there a Canadian equivalent of National Register of Historic Places to show this place is an official landmark? Or is this just advertising verbiage among the community. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 17:53, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
How is "Decarie Hot Dogs" of any significance over other fast-food restaurants in Montreal and merit an article? Furthermore, I don't know how this is considered a landmark (this is no Schwartz's or Fairmount Bagel). To be honest, I've lived my whole life in Montreal, traveled up and down Decarie blvd many times over the decades, and never even heard of the restaurant until it had a recent mention on the local TV news.
The food served is not unique: hot dogs, fries and poutine are around every corner, and I don't see anything special in terms of how it's made or served at this location. Sure Decarie Hot Dogs has been around 50 years, but I could say the same for Marathon Souvlaki in Chomedey, and yet it's not considered a landmark or has its own Wikipedia entry. What about Beauty's restaurant or the Montreal Brown Derby for that matter? Those are/were more a landmark than this, and been around MUCH longer. In terms of "famous" people who've eaten here, we have two local mayors, the late-husband/manager of Celine Dion, and a former party leader who was never elected into office? I'd barely raise an eyebrow if I met any of these people. Did something historical happen here, is the building itself historical? To me, apart from being around several decades (that alone does not merit an article) this is just another fast-food place. Perhaps popular among locals, and highly rated among fast-food junkies, but I'd like to hear how it merits an article, let alone considered a national landmark and listed under that table category. Whether this article should be deleted is debatable, but I would vote that it's removed from the table list of Montreal landmarks-- Apple2gs ( talk) 08:32, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
