No significant coverage for this now closed restaurant to meet GNG. 2 of the supplied sources are primary, and this source is a 1 line mention about its closure. LibStar (talk) 00:42, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Food and drink, Companies, and Oregon. AllyD (talk) 06:08, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
• Merge into Hung Far Low (restaurant), considering the brief writeup and existence of Ping (restaurant). Same space. Maybe under a title "Aftermath: Ping" or something of sorts. gidonb (talk) 10:56, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

  @Gidonb: Thanks for weighing in. I have expanded the article significantly and continue to find more sources to add. I think there's clear evidence the subject has been discussed in detail by reliable sources. Can you please take another look? I'd like to see if I can change your vote to "keep". Thanks, ---Another Believer _(Talk) 13:42, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Changing to keep. My concern here was the length of the article and excessive fragmentation, not notability. Now that the text is longer a merge would create a situation of WP:UNDUE so this is no longer desirable. gidonb (talk) 08:37, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

• Keep per GNG. This is yet another nomination by LibStar, who seems to be nominating Portland restaurant articles indiscriminately, or at least without doing thorough source assessments before jumping to AfD. I've asked them to slow down, or use tags/talk page comments instead of mass nominating, but here we are. I've worked to expand the article and continue to find in-depth articles specifically about Ping, published by reliable sources. The article should be kept and expanded, not deleted. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 13:44, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

  Also, Ping was a James Beard Foundation Award semifinalist. It was also included in Alan Richman's list of 10 best new restaurants in the U.S. Are we seriously debating notability? Is the nominator even trying? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 04:07, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

• Keep easy pass of our notability guidelines with in depth RS. Lightburst (talk) 20:14, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
• Keep re-edited and updated since this nomination. Informative article that needs to be kept. — Maile (talk) 15:25, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
