• Keep. Three hundred stores is sufficiently notable. Pburka 02:01, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

So any store is notable as long as there are 300 of them? Even if there's no other usefull/notable information concerning them? Just wondering if there's any Wikipedia policy for something like this. --TheMidnighters 02:15, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

I think it's just discretion for this issue gren 07:39, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

• Delete I have to agree with Midnight...this is not notable. freestylefrappe 02:34, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

• I don't know if there's an official policy. I couldn't find anything on Wikipedia talk:Companies, corporations and economic information. But a company with 300 convenience stores must have hundreds of thousands, or perhaps millions of customers. To me, this level of exposure constitutes notability. Pburka 03:28, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

• Weak keep, while Pburka makes a good point, it gets only 415 unique Googles. This is surprisingly few; I suppose this must be because it is of only very local consequence. However, to be of only local consequency and get hundreds of Googles is also fairly unusual. -Splash 04:49, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per Pburka. --Pagrashtak 05:21, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep -- as long as article is careful about verifiable information and doesn't lean towards advertising. gren 07:39, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
• Move → Plaid Pantry, keep as per Pburka. ^…Markaci 2005-07-26 T 07:41:40 Z
• Keep (and move to Plaid Pantry, as Markaci suggested). Now that I think on it, I've seen those stores very often in Portland. I imagine there is some interesting cultural and company historical information that could go in the article. I'll add it to my ToDo list, for when I get back to Portland.

• Keep (and rename, as above). The article is poor currently but could surely be expanded into something useful. Agentsoo 09:36, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

• Keep as Plaid Pantry. Too many localized chains have articles to deny this one. To be encyclopedic they should have more information than a phonebook ad however. --Wetman 10:10, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep I'm from the Northwest, and it's definitely iconic... compare to WaWa Predawn 18:24, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
