This article was nominated for deletion on 5 January 2007. The result of the discussion was No Consensus/default keep.

The Heinen's stub is not intended to advertise the store whatsoever. It is merely providing information on a local community-based grocery store. Perhaps it could be placed within a larger group of articles that discusses community-based grocery stores and their importance in modern suburban areas. Notability need not be a concept of national concern. Grocery stores small and large contribute to the growth of cities alike. They equally bring about the ideas of economy, consumerism, and small business.

Heinen's is comparable to many other grocery stores such as Giant Eagle, and it can furthermore be identified as a competing force against these stores. It should not be considered non-notable simply because it is a local chain in its infancy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bluebul1989 (talk • contribs).

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Heinen's chain is 75 years old. I don't think that you can fairly say that this store is still "in its infancy". Yet after 75 years, it's still a strictly local chain. The concept of grocery stores as a class is an encyclopedic topic. The appropriateness of this particular store for an encyclopedia article is, however, much less clear. I can find no evidence that this chain meets any of the recommended criteria at WP:CORP. The review discussion mentioned below ended as a "no consensus" decision. That gives the community a grace period to improve the article and to demonstrate that this can be turned into a fully encyclopedic topic. If no significant improvements are made after a reasonable period of time, it may become appropriate to renominate this article for deletion. Rossami (talk) 21:11, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I was wondering how I could enable a search for simply "heinens" or other variations to redirect to the Heinen's page because at this point no other variations can be found. Help would be much appreciated. Bluebul1989 23:44, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Never mind. I answered my own question. Bluebul1989 04:45, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD/DRV Result Notice

This article was the subject of an AfD discussion originally closed on 8 June 2006. A DRV consensus on 13 June 2006 declared the proper AfD result was No Consensus/default keep. Xoloz 16:41, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggested changes in light of second AfD discussion

• I suggest that we re-write the ==Unique services offered== section to read less like an advertisement. Here is what I propose:

==Unique services offered==

Heinen's stores offer catering services and wine tasting. The store also has its own brand, "Two Brothers".

Since this may be too short, it could be integrated into the first paragraph. It also could include citations from a newspaper or magazine review on the store. --DangApricot 22:54, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
