Wikipedia is not a directory of restaurant locations, nor an indiscriminate collection of information. Reyk YO! 04:48, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete It is sourced by Hard Rock's website, which is where people should go for this information. Steve Dufour (talk) 06:28, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Agreed. It is listed elsewhere, which is definitely where it belongs. – Alex43223 T | C | E 06:39, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, as per all useless lists.JJJ999 (talk) 06:53, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Pretty clearly just a directory, and if it is a copy of the Hard Rock website, it is probably a copyright violation as well.--2008Olympianchitchat 08:06, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. This project aims to be an encyclopedia, not a commercial directory of piss poor restaurants. JBsupreme (talk) 08:25, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - just my two cents. This is useful information that someone could search for. The Hard Rock Cafe is exceptionally notable, in my view, being quite uniquely marketed (and capitalised), and integrated into the music scene. This list could grow beyond what is available on the Hard Rock website (for example, by listing closed restaurants). - Richard Cavell (talk) 10:23, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per WP:NOTDIR. The info is on Hard Rock's website anyway. That's where I'd look for this kind of stuff...--Boffob (talk) 13:04, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete While the history of the franchise is somewhat interesting, the nominator is right on in describing this list as falling squarely under WP:NOTDIR. The parent article notes that there are 143 restaurants in 36 countries around the world, and I don't see this as much different than attempting to list all of the McDonalds or KFC restaurants the world around. Yes, I know, Hard Rock Cafe is not McDonalds or KFC; I can wash my hands at the latter two places without having to tip somebody. Mandsford (talk) 14:41, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Wikipedia is not a directory, judging from the fact that other store directory lists have been shot down before. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 18:46, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
