I have not been able to discern an actual location for this establishment. The nearest I can come is a listing for Cactus Development & Investment Company, Cairo St. near Al-Yasameen Tower, Al-remal, Gaza. Is this correct? Proscriptus ( talk) 12:33, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
How is this anything other than an advertisement? Tengu99 ( talk) 00:21, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think it was intended in that way and I'm sure the original author AMuseo wrote the article in good faith. However, I agree there are problems with the way it is written, and I have added a template accordingly. These problems can and should be worked out, the question is, what content is actually appropriate for this page? -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 20:55, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
- This restaurant does not fit a mainstream narrative of universal suffering in Gaza. It's astonishing. Maybe the context discussed in the second half should be moved up front, but many readers will have heard of the blockade, etc.
Prari ( talk) 07:42, 19 August 2010 (UTC)- I've boldly made some changes (and some deletions) intended to remove the overly promotional tone. See what you think. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 19:57, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
Since the restaurant's notability (and a large part of the content of the article) derives from the fact that there was a media controversy about it, then for NPOV, the opposing viewpoints on the other side of that controversy should be included. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 20:01, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
