Lots of reliable sources if you look for them. Seems to be notable in North Carolina. Pburka (talk) 17:39, 31 May 2008 (UTC) * None of those is substantial in nature. Most aren't even about the chain, and the rest are just about individual locations opening. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 18:59, 31 May 2008 (UTC) * Keep. I'm not exactly sure what makes a restaurant chain notable or encyclopedic in the first place, but I see no reason why Cookout should be excluded from the likes of Ruth's Chris Steak House or Taco Bell. Furthermore, I'm not sure what you expected to happen your search includes the common name for one of the most ubiquitous summer pastimes--jackass.--Apotheosis247 (talk) 01:33, 1 June 2008 (UTC) ten pound hammer is a fucking idiot"

"The restaurant is popular all over North Carolina. Ask any college student in Raleigh, and they'll give you tons of reasons why cookout is notable. There is absolutely no conceivable reason as to why this article should be deleted. TWW 4 lyfe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.190.135.17 (talk) 02:16, 1 June 2008 (UTC) * Conditional weak keep, not for the ridiculous reasons given by the IP above, but because some of the sources Pburka notes: some of them seem to be about the chain. I'm not about to pay for access to those articles, so my "keep" is conditional upon someone being able to get the sources and demonstrate notability for this chain. Until/unless we have someone with access to those pages, the article isn't verifiable, and therefore definitely isn't notable. Nyttend (talk) 02:19, 1 June 2008 (UTC) "
