A fact from America's Incredible Pizza Company appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 4 December 2008, and was viewed approximately 9,600 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that it now requires 250 employees and costs US$5-9 million to open a new location of the six-year-old America's Incredible Pizza Company?

DYK issue

(the fact cited is not supported by the text, which simply mentions an average staff size and typical cost, not a requirement for either)—Preceding unsigned comment added by Piledhigheranddeeper (talk • contribs) 21:55, 3 December 2008

I reported it to WP:ERRORS, but the admins didn't change the hook before the next update. Sorry, Cunard (talk) 04:19, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As long as we're at it...

I don't feel much notability here.

So there's a restaurant. BFD. This looks like an advertisement, and I'm surprised someone decided to put it in the did you know list. GPa Hill (talk) 00:30, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've written this article in a neutral point of view. The many reliable sources attest to this company's notability. If you have further concerns about the notability of this restaurant chain, feel free to take it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Cunard (talk) 04:22, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Naww, I'm cool. My feelings of notability are not, in fact, the gold standard. Thanks for the response, tho. GPa Hill (talk) 17:56, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of WP:Oklahoma banner

AIPC is no longer based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Therefore, it really is not appropriate to keep it within the Oklahoma project. The headquarters moved to Springfield, Missouri in 2009. Bruin2 (talk) 18:34, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of information about locations and format

Information about America's Incredible Pizza Company's locations and format was removed here.

The section noted that the entertainment center has a arcade, go-karts, billiards, bowling, and miniature golf. It noted that an AIPC restaurant has an average area of 65,000 to 70,000 square feet (6,000 to 6,500 m²). It noted that the music and decorations have a 1950s theme and noted information about the food served.

This information is encyclopedic. It has been in the article for nearly a decade. Per WP:BRD, it is not appropriate to remove the information when the removal has been objected to. Cunard (talk) 19:53, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps this section of the article can be copy edited to be more concise. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 06:53, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for restoring the content, Northamerica1000. I'm not sure how to make the section more concise, but I welcome copyedits from you to do so. Cunard (talk) 07:51, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Cunard: The content covers very basic company information that most Wikipedia articles would include, so the section is warranted. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 08:30, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

NASCAR Sponsorship

@Mystic Technocrat: It should be there, as it was widely seen and in association with various other notable topics. Is it semi-poorly written? Yes, but I'd have to say that it stays and I should warn you that violating the 3RR rule may land you a block, if it gets to that. I'll copyedit the section sometime in the near future. Regards, Willsome429 (say hey or see my edits!) 23:53, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Willsome429:I'm well-aware of the 3RR rule, thanks. It should be noted that the reverts are being made by a well-known troll who seeks out edits by me (and a few others) and reverts them. He has no interest in this page, and certainly won't bother with coming here to debate. In any event, I strongly disagree with your assessment that it should be there, as it amounts to nothing more than an ad campaign, and not a popular one at that. NASCAR sponsorships are not generally mentioned on the sponsor's page. It ought to be mentioned on Jason Keller's page, and that should suffice. Mystic Technocrat (talk) 13:34, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree on the "amounts to nothing" part. According to this site, AIPC sponsored a solid season-and-a-half, and both Lagasse and Keller ran toward the front of the field in some races. Seeing as hundreds of thousands of people watch each race on TV and the costs associated with the sponsorship (which far outweigh contributions of the AIPC foundation), it should stay. Advertising is the lifeblood of business, and noting that it happened (not promoting it) falls within all giudelines. Besides, just because it isn't on other pages doesn't mean it shouldn't be there, it just means that nobody has added it yet on a lot of pages. If there's a policy that says otherwise I'll gladly accept that but at this point I just don't see any reason to remove it. The section was not well-written, but I'd rather include content that is sourced than delete content that could appear on the page.
