I removed the promotespeak from the article, leaving it very short. I've now learned that the chain is significant and well-known in peripherals-buying circles—a neutral person I spoke with even called it "a skånsk Clas Ohlson"—I'm sorry if I seemed to doubt it in previous edit summaries! I'm restoring the stub template, as the article can certainly stand informational expansion, though the overly advertising type of sentence that I removed should not be used.

- KjellFakta is obviously advertising, but what about Kjell & Company? Is this chain significant enough to have an article. It claims to have 12 stores, mostly in Southern Sweden. Uppland 07:02, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
- Tups, yes, I think it is significant enough. I removed the promotespeak from the article, with somewhat impatient edit summaries which I now regret, as a neutral third party (in fact my nerdy kid) has told me they're high profile in his (=peripherals-buying) circles. And we don't even live in the south! I quote: "You don't know Kjell & Company? But they're like a skånsk Clas Ohlson! And they just opened a big store in Stockholm!" He'd even heard of KjellFakta. (Hey, Clas Ohlson a redlink? Shame!) Bishonen | talk 07:45, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
- Yup, Clas Ohlson AB should have an article. As for Kjell, sometimes these, um, corporate contributors (trying very hard to avoid the word "spammers"...) do themselves harm by producing ad-copy, which risks getting deleted, when we would be perfectly happy with a factual article on the company and its history. And nobody would ever suspect vanity if it was written that way. Uppland 08:24, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
