[edit] Peter-Blair

This article has been scaled down, but it remains little more than and advert for a shop whose importance can only be guessed at. The same could be written for thousands of other non-notable shops all over the world. Should be in Yellow Pages. Emeraude 13:24, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep since their news page does show some attention from fairly important mainstream magazine sources, such as GQ and Southern Living. Notable enough. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:36, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

• Follow the links in their website to the magazine articles and you see what are basically 'advertorials', i.e. you give the stuff to the magazine, they photograph it, theysay how nice it is - not exactly authoritative reasons to include in an encyclopaedia. Emeraude 14:11, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete The articles are indeed little more than advertisements. The GQ "article" in fact, was nothing more than one item in a group of 6, a dozen words in the caption, and a price. Indeed, some of the figures they site, for instance a total of 4k ties (for a store specializing in them) sold in an entire year, make it a rather small operation overall.
