This entire, long article appears to be a simply an advertisement for a commercial establishment. I agree with the above comment that this is just a commercial plug, and I wonder whether Misplaced Pages's guidelines allow this kind of thing?

I also wonder about the long list of "celebrity customers". It seems like a violation of their privacy to list them here. I seriously doubt whether they were contacted or gave permission for their names to be used as "endorsers" in what is in effect an advertisement for the store.

A fact from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills appeared on Misplaced Pages's Main Page in the Did you know column on 1 June 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Misplaced Pages

a bit much

While it's not surprising to see Misplaced Pages articles that tend to be a little, ah, enthusiastic about their subjects, the list of "celebrity" shoppers seems a bit much, especially when it's longer than the rest of the article combined.--Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 15:13, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

er How is this not an advert?

Apparently because a lot of Hollywood celebrities buy (most likely at hugely inflated prices) their Camembert and cheddar from this business, what makes this article noteworthy?

A cheese shop that sells dairy products to the stars!

Wow. What's next on Misplaced Pages the Beverley Hills Drain Company? Which unblocked a few backed up systems for clients who include...yardy yardy yardy —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.147.153.248 (talk) 15:16, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Does Misplaced Pages allow commercial plugs like this?

This entire, long article appears to be a simply an advertisement for a commercial establishment. I agree with the above comment that this is just a commercial plug, and I wonder whether Misplaced Pages's guidelines allow this kind of thing?

I also wonder about the long list of "celebrity customers". It seems like a violation of their privacy to list them here. I seriously doubt whether they were contacted or gave permission for their names to be used as "endorsers" in what is in effect an advertisement for the store.
