[edit] Canada Drugs
It's just an online pharmacy, nothing that really makes it notable for an encyclopedia article. GarrettTalk 04:17, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
- Comment The online drugs business is a huge component of pharmacutical sales here in North America. Further, the sale of drugs to Americans by Canadians and vis versa, is very much a hot button topic. There may be a need for an article that explains the minutae of the issue (generic drugs, international trade laws ect ect) and the overall importance in the distribution of perscription drugs.

- Merge to List of pharmacies. There ought to be a Internet pharmacy article somewhere too. DoubleBlue (Talk) 09:07, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
- Merge as per DoubleBlue. Mindmatrix 13:01, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, sound notable. - ulayiti 14:58, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
- Merge with List of internet-based pharmacies (well, CREATE the list with this article) 132.205.45.148 16:13, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, nothing special about running an online business, millions do. This is a small part of a very big industry. Website's Alexa rank is about 43,000. No need for that other article either, since all the entries in it would be non-notable. -Splash 22:53, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
- Actually, it's a very big deal about both internet pharmacies and cross-border pharmacies. It continues to be a political issue on both sides of the border and a feature of the 2004 Presidential campaign. Whether this particular pharmacy is an important element or not, I don't know. The article and source website both claim it is. DoubleBlue (Talk) 23:59, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
- I agree. And if the article's claim that it's 'Canada's largest pharmacy providing world-wide prescription services' and 'caters to over 30,000,000 Americans who are under-insured for prescription medications' are true, then it's certainly notable and I don't see why it should be deleted. - ulayiti (talk) 00:56, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
- To User:DoubleBlue: I see. You evidently have 'issues' in the US that we don't have in the UK. If the claims of size can be substiated, I'll of course reconsider. It's rather hard to google for usefully, though. -Splash 02:23, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
