This has been tagged as OR, namely because it cannot be sourced in any reasonable manner. Further, all the classes of restaurants other than "other" and Family Style have their own pages, is there a need for (unsourced) duplication? I think anything viable from the introduction could go into Restaurants if it can be sourced, but otherwise this article will always remain Original Research and have NPOV issues Travellingcari ( talk) 18:54, 6 February 2008 (UTC) reply
Comment perhaps I'm not making myself clear. I'm talking about the summary, which is not cited. For example: Historically, restaurant referred only to places which provide tables where one sits down to eat the meal, typically served by wait-staff. Following the rise of fast food and take-out restaurants, a retronym for the older "standard" restaurant was created, sit-down restaurant. Most commonly, "sit-down restaurant" refers to a casual dining restaurant with table service rather than a fast-food restaurant where one orders food at a counter. Sit-down restaurants are often further categorized as "family-style" or "formal". I'm not questioning the non OR of the articles, just that a) most already have their own articles and b) the ones that don't aren't sourced in this one either. It looks like I was wrong here, and I can accept that and would have no problem if this closed under SNOW, but I was trying to make my point clear where I was coming from.
