Ocean State Job Lot (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This company is semi-notable in New England, but that's it. Its not notable enough for inclusion here. (and I live down the street from one). New England Review Me!/Go Red Sox! 00:00, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment 85 stores? It may be notable. This [1] court case may entail some notability. Possibly even more in he archives. This [2] looks like the best. FrozenPurpleCube 00:15, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep, regional chain with 85 stores seems to be notable. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?) 00:47, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete There's one near me, and I've never heard a word about it for 35 years other than the flyers they send out. Non-notable. MarkBul 03:18, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Really? Have you looked at the existing secondary sources? The case involving the mall certainly made a lot of news. FrozenPurpleCube 03:47, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Jamesway only had 110 stores and thats a keep. Mbisanz 05:57, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep: Quite on a par with many, many regional chain department stores, most of which -- even long defunct ones -- have articles.  RGTraynor  18:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep This is definately a notable regional chain store. Many examples of this already on wikipedia. --Djsasso 18:54, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
