218:. This article is so well-written I thought it might be a copyvio, but some key phrases don't Google as exact phrases. If everything in it were sourced, I'd vote "keep" on the grounds that I find it interesting and it's long enough to stand on its own as a separate article.

Too bad, as the incidents in it ring true, are probably accurate, and would be worth keeping if sourced. Will change my vote if the article is greatly improved before expiration of AfD. I believe I'll go tag the unsourced statements.

By the way, I have added another rumour to the article, also citing a reputable source. I firmly believe it would be impractical to merge this into the main McDonald's article because of its size.
