[edit] Lawtons

Advertisement for non-notable company. Naconkantari 04:09, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Drugstore chains are often notable, and several already have articles in Wikipedia. This one is located in Atlantic Canada, and is the proverbial large fish in a small pon. The edit history with multiple reverts is rather depressing, but I think the chain is notable. TruthbringerToronto 05:40, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I don't see why this should be deleted. Should we delete every article about a business because it might be considered an "advertisement"? 59 stores is notable enough. The article seems NPOV to me in its current form, so not an advertisement. This afd proposal puzzles me. --Jacknstock 06:02, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. It has 59 locations. It's gotta have some degree of notability. --Alphachimp ^talk 06:02, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, this seems to be notable enough, and this doesn't read like an advertisement. --Coredesat 07:55, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, one of the big drug store chains in Atlantic Canada. All of the major competing chains (Pharmasave, Shoppers Drug Mart, Jean Coutu Group, Guardian Drug Stores) have articles too. Kirjtc2 12:44, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. If this was a drugstore based in New York State or Ontario we wouldn't be having this discussion. BoojiBoy 13:12, 23 June 2006 (UTC) I agree with your statement 100% --Pat 20:39, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
• Mild Keep -- has NPOV, needs expanding -- MrDolomite 14:29, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep -- not an adverstisement. The article is factual and dispassionate. Ground Zero | t 16:16, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep; regional retail chains with dozens of locations are notable enough. Bearcat 18:23, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep -- not an adverstisement. The article is factual and dispassionate--Pat 20:38, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Seems to only have been put up for deletion because of admin hate for a disgruntled user --ZakuSage 22:20, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I'm on the opposite side of the continent from this region, and I've heard of this chain. However, that's not a criterion that counts, but WP:CORP does, and this article meets the test. Agent 86 21:44, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
