review? co-nom for Good article status?

@TrademarkedTWOrantula: This is another restaurant article I'd be interested in co-nominating, if someone's able to review more thoroughly beforehand (copy edit, fact check, etc) Are you interested in collaborating? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 00:05, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Well, sure! Let's see how many we can do. TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 00:13, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

@TrademarkedTWOrantula Feel free to make any other article improvements, but I've gone ahead and submitted the co-nom! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:51, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Comments from TWOrantula

The lead could be expanded, specifically with information on the restaurant's history and reception.
The two citations in the lead could be moved into the article body somewhere.

"This family-owned treasure uses local ingredients like Painted Hills natural beef in the Sicilian hash and Pearl Bakery brioche in the battered and grilled pan dolce served with whipped honey butter, organic maple syrup, and seasonal fresh fruit." -> The family-owned business used local ingredients including beef, brioche, maple syrup, and seasonal fruit. (might want to include the names of the dishes too)

ahead of their 2019 divorce - Would suggest rewording as it is awkwardly squeezed in the prose
- Does "until their divorce in 2019" work for you? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:36, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

The hole-in-the-wall[...] cafe has been around for 15 years but couldn't withstand the financial strain the coronavirus pandemic placed on the establishment. Although there can't be any hugs, shoutouts, or last calls, according to Arleta's Facebook page, there is a GoFundMe for patrons to give staff one last tip. -> ...that a GoFundMe page was founded to tip the staff.
While never much of a library, the Arleta Cafe earned a certain measure of cultural permanence when Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Guy Fieri stopped by to marvel at its trademark sweet potato biscuits with rosemary-sausage gravy. Following the Food Network imprimatur and owner Sarah Iannarone's ill-starred mayoral candidacy, a steady string of curious interlopers have joined die-hard regulars amid the morning crush. - Needs to be paraphrased, but I'm not sure how. Try to take out the main idea and summarize it in a sentence.
Do we need an image of Sarah Iannarone?

@TrademarkedTWOrantula I did not agree with many of the comments left in the GA review. Would you like for me to re-nominate and see if a different editor would offer a review? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 03:14, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Kind of agree with you. I felt as though the reviewer failed the article too soon, which gave us little time to correct and improve the article. However, we should use the suggestions in the review before re-nominating. TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 03:24, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Where you agree with the reviewing editor, I would welcome your improvements to the article. However, where you disagree, the changes are not required. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 03:26, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

@TrademarkedTWOrantula I am re-nominating the article, and I invite you to add your name as a co-nom if you're interested. Thanks ---Another Believer _(Talk) 03:32, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
