[edit] Gravity Pope
Clothing retailer of dubious notability. The article seems to be written almost entirely by a SPA (User:Nowayanthony) and by anonymous IPs; most of the contributions by established editors seem to be basic housekeeping or complaining about the advertising-like tone. Looks like a vanity article. —Psychonaut 21:48, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Doesn't seem to be a notable store, at least not yet. 13900 results on Google, but 13898 of them seem to be directories and yellow pages and whatnot. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 21:54, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Well, it's not a bad article and I'm sure it's a very nice store but at the end of the day, that's not what matters. I hardly even see an assertion of notability and there are no sources. It also does not appear to pass WP:CORP and the sources listed on the corporate 'About us' page all look rather trivial to me. This might make a very nice addition to the corporate Myspace site but I'm afraid it doesn't merit inclusion here. --S up? 22:12, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

- keep Gravity Pope may be a small company in the scheme of things, but it is an integral part of the communities in which it does business, with mention in the articles about the communities: Strathcona, Kitsilano, and 17th Avenue. The company is quite notable in western Canada. The article itself is meant to give fans and customers of the store access a resource of company information and history. Look at this blog and the comments below, people have used the page as a resource: [1]. I'm learning about wikipedia as I go, I've made a couple of minor edits on related articles, I don't feel confident or knowledgable enough to be doing lots of edits. I realize that I look like an SPA because the Gravity Pope article is kind of my baby on wikipedia and I've been trying to get it to conform to wikipedia policies, while learning how to create articles on wikipedia properly.Nowayanthony 17:11, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
- Joe's Eats may be an integral part of Podunk, USA, but that doesn't mean it's notable according to Wikipedia's standards. The purpose of Wikipedia isn't to give "fans and customers" information about the store—that's what the store's own website should be doing—but rather to summarize independent published information about the store. —Psychonaut 23:56, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
