A former bowling alley that, while certainly commendable, does not appear to have garnered anything but local notability. The article is currently unsourced, and searching for sources only turns up one result in what might be considered a reliable source, found here. And even then, it is only mentioned in a footnote for the article, and not covered in the article itself. It appears to fail the WP:GNG, as well as WP:NBUSINESS Rorshacma (talk) 17:05, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Update - I found a couple additional sources by removing the " and Arcade" portion of the business' name, here and here, but in both cases, the coverage is nothing more than a one-sentence mention. Rorshacma (talk) 17:29, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I added a reference for the final claim in the text. However in doing so, I see that the article text and that reference (marked All rights reserved) duplicate one another, indicating a possible WP:COPYVIO. AllyD (talk) 17:19, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
