The result was Keep, nomination withdrawn. Davewild (talk) 10:10, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Deletion nomination: Local bookstore that does not appear to have much in the way of independent, non-trivial, reliable sources. Unless and until such sources can be produced, it should be deleted. Jayron32|talk|contribs 05:33, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment This bookstore has have troubles in the past, so much troubles, that it has made refs on local newspapers and blogs. I have added those refs as sourced notability. The article should be deleted should the remaining store close. Someone will eventually recreate it, so, let me say keep. -Goodshoped 05:39, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Why would the article be deleted if the last stores closes...? • Lawrence Cohen 05:41, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep Seems at least marginally notable for a small stub and a historical footnote. • Lawrence Cohen 05:41, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]- Well, its only notability is that its stores are closing? Did no-one notice this bookstore before it closed? This seems to fail the "multiple" standard of WP:N, as the only reliable references are to the closing of the store, a single event. I would gleefully withdraw this nomination if any other extensive coverage exists. A single columnist at a single paper lamenting the closing of their favorite bookstore is a tenuous claim to notability at best. If other sources could be produced, that would be a different story... --Jayron32|talk|contribs 05:44, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Hence the "weak keep" instead of "STRONG KEEP". :) • Lawrence Cohen 05:48, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Change to Keep Take a look at these results. There a good number of "4pm! Event at Cody's!" type entries, but look at each, and ignore most of those--there other reliable sources, even New York Times coverage. • Lawrence Cohen 05:49, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Withdraw Nomination Sources are evident. These should be added to the article, as there are numerous and extensive sources. Thanks for providing those. No issue here. There's some good stuff here going back many years. I would recommend expanding the article using L.Cohen's sources. Good catch. No more problems. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 05:52, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
