Update
[edit]I have submitted an updated article for review, to replace the current stub, at Draft:Del_Frisco's_Restaurant_Group. I look forward to feedback! Condorman (talk) 20:27, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
The submission referenced above (a few hours ago) has been declined because the article already exists here. Please review the new article that I propose to replace the current stub at Draft:Del_Frisco's_Restaurant_Group. As a paid contributor for this article, I'm dependent on a different editor without COI to move the new content into the article. I look forward to feedback and recommendations.

- The draft here Draft:Del Frisco's Restaurant Group is totally unacceptable, full of promotional marketing puffery. Theroadislong (talk) 17:58, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback, Theroadislong. I appreciate your time and attention. I've modeled the article after Cracker Barrel since it's the only restaurant article to ever become a featured article. I've largely taken phrasing from the referenced sources. A few specific examples of what you find problematic would help if you have the opportunity. I attempted to model the featured article very closely since it's already been promoted as a superior article for food services. I'm also taking help desk advice to submit a formal edit request. Thanks again and I hope you (or anyone else spectating) have a few minutes for some specifics. Condorman (talk) 16:00, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
- Having read the criteria for an edit request, I'm holding off on that until I either get help desk guidance to proceed, or resolve any feedback here first. Condorman (talk) 16:11, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
- Well just looking at the lede section…“multi-brand operator of contemporary upscale restaurants” “ flagship brand featuring steak, chops, seafood, and extensive wine lists in urban settings targeting destination diners” ”serves tapas specialties from Spain and the Mediterranean accompanied by an award-winning wine list.” “a laid back street food concept based on the beach culture..“ none of this marketing type of language is appropriate. Theroadislong (talk) 16:31, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the quick feedback. I'll go through the content word-for-word with your feedback in mind, comparing to the Cracker Barrel article. Some of the terms are simply descriptive from an industry standpoint. For example, where Cracker Barrel has a "Southern country theme" with "decor designed to resemble an old-fashioned general store", a Bartaco is "a laid back street food concept based on the beach culture..". "Contemporary upscale" is the equivalent of "fast food" for Whataburger. If you have an opportunity to look at the Cracker Barrel page, I'm curious what you think of it. Do you have similar concerns there? Thanks again and I'll post after a thorough review and edits. Condorman (talk) 17:39, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
- I've reviewed this article multiple times over the past month, solicited some feedback from other individuals, and reviewed other food services articles. Much of the language used is directly from referenced articles and content and IMHO is consistent with similar articles. When I look at changing some of the language, I consistently find myself substituting my own language for referenced sources when it's better to use sources. For example, I could say something like "robust" wine list and it would be accurate, but I have no source of "robust" wine list. However, I can accurately and with references say "award-winning" wine list. I repeately come back to using the source language instead of my own. As a result, pending anyone's desire to make edits to the current draft themselves, I'm submitting the article now to replace the current stub in hopes that any feedback can be applied in that process. That way we can get the stub replaces and make ongoing edits. Condorman (talk) 19:21, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
Edit Request
[edit]![]() | Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. [See below] |
I've written a new version of this article to replace. I request that we move in the new version, making any edits necessary along the way or after the fact. I'm happy to make specific requested edits or take specific actions requested. The new version is found here: Draft - Del Frisco's Restaurant Group. IF reviewing, it may be helpful to review in the context of the Cracker Barrel article. It is the only restaurant article to ever be a featured article, so I've used it to establish the pattern and style for this update. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeffery Gentry (talk • contribs) 19:42, March 5, 2019 (UTC)

- Thanks for the detailed feedback, Spintendo. I appreciate your time and attention. If you applied this process to the Cracker Barrel article I used as a model, that article would go from featured article to stub. The content is here if others without a COI would like to take further action on it. As for me, I'm done. Condorman (talk) 21:23, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
