For example, two of my favorite restaurants are The Depot and Shadow's Keep. I think it's almost impossible to be objective about which are included and which are not. There are only two in Missoula, and both are listed. Hyacinth 04:02, (UTC) I understand where you're coming from here, but even so it's a little easier to justify a ski mountain than a restaurant for me. What about Montana Snowbowl? What makes a ski hill more encyclopedic than a resturaunt? You all may be interested in Wikipedia:Importance, a proposed policy. I have at least heard of the Oxford, which does have some measure of notoriety, but even so I still question whether it belongs in this kind of work. Why does this one restaurant warrant an entry in an encyclopedic work? I would understand if it were the site of some event of great importance, but as I said, I didn't even know about it. I have to agree with Dknadler on this one. I lived in Missoula my entire life growing up (1980-1998), and I have never been to or even heard of Tipu's. Please list why the Ox is notable/bizarre. Thus you're objection may be based on the fact that Tipu's is a small local resturaunt, and not a huge national or multinational.Д«ased on the above, I created a 'Notable eateries' section, and listed the Oxford. It would seem to me that since companies may be described on Wikipedia ( Procter & Gamble), and on 'Missoula, Montana' (Montana Snowbowl), so may be Tipu's. However, as the article doesn't promote Tipu's or its products, and also describes Tipu's sexism, I don't think that is the proper objection. And, as far as I know, Tipu's is primarily in the business of selling food. Honestly, I don't want to start an argument over something so trivial, but it does seem that Tipu's stands to benefit the most from it's inclusion in the Missoula entry. If I were to create an entry for a restaurant, based upon my personal opinion that it was COMPLETELY BIZARRE, I would look no further than the demented halls of the Oxford Cafe. I find Tipu's to be, on the whole, rather mundane. Anyway, as much as I like Tipu's, isn't the Tipu's related entry dangerously close to violating the following wikipedia policy: 'Please do not create an article to promote yourself, a product, or a business'? Basically, what's to prevent someone from creating similar entries for every restaurant in town? Dknadler 17:43, (UTC)Д¬onsensus may side with you, but every other resturaunt in town is NOT COMPLETELY BIZARRE. I'm new to this, so please bear with me if I'm doing anything wrong. See dission below listed as 'Local Missoula Bands' 19:04, 15 December 2005 (UTC) With Missoula's rich music community, I think its only fair to note them somewhere in the listing. There's nothing wrong with listing local celebrities or local bands - they are what make a town what it is. Great Falls has a list of notable people who have lived there. I've edited out the various band names (other than those of note)to neutralize the statements.- James Look at other cities and see what they list. Matthew Burnside 15:25, 19 November 2005 (UTC) Aggreed. On further consideration, and based on the discussion below: if we're (rightly) not going to list random restaurants, we should not list random bands, either. A Google search gives less than impressive results.

Is she truly 'internationally renown?' I lived in Missoula for 20+ years and never heard of her. I have added the New York Times best seller as a local Missoulian.
