[edit] Bob's Discount Furniture

Bob's Discount Furniture (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article about a regional furniture store. Doesn't show how the company is notable per Wikipedia:Notability (companies), and there doesn't seem to be any coverage of this chain in reliable sources. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 21:24, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, fails WP:RS and WP:CORP. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?)} 21:55, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep [1] [2] seems like enough mild notability for an article. i ^said 02:14, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
• Comment, Article is deficient, but subject may still be notable. Bob's is prominent in its region and holds a sought-after status within its industry according to trade publication Furniture Today. A Google search produces a few WP:RS-quality news stories. • Gene93k 02:22, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Fails WP:RS I think. No external sources that seem reliable. I'd point out that this source [3] (cited above) is just a press release from a logistics company saying 'Bob has chosen us to be their logistics vendor'. Given the fact that there seems to be a new release for each customer the company acquires, I think the source can be discounted. bfigura ^(talk) 04:55, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Pick a small enough region, and any company is notable within in. We are not a Connecticut business directory. 33rd in the US is where it stands among its peers, and that is not notable.DGG (talk) 21:57, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - what we need are multiple reliable sources underscoring notability and they are absent. Nothing about why the company is notable. BlueValour 12:48, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep The company has several mentions on boston.com, they are notable because of their massive presence on tv and radio. If we take them off now, believe me, we will be putting them back on in a year or two. Has stores located in every New England state except Vermont, New York and New Jersey too, I wouldn't call that a "small region."

• Keep cant watch a Red Sox game on TV without seeing at least one ad for Bob's Discount Furniture. A regional fixture in advertising.  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 08:35, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
