Hawaii is located thousands of miles away from other landmasses. What do you expect? The state’s largest newspaper and the state’s biggest TV station are in Oahu and they have covered it. A major news outlet in Maui covered it as well. Therefore, I think your characterization is misleading. Do you think a news source that is not located in the state of Hawaii must report on it? I say keep it. Jasonagastrich (talk) 03:01, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- What would evidence of notability look like to you for a notable health food store chain in Hawaii? Jasonagastrich (talk) 20:27, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - The same as for any other business in any other state - sustained coverage in reliable independent sources that not mainly local. Mccapra (talk) 21:34, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - I am uncertain whether or not that is a fair and legitimate criteria because Hawaii is separated from landmasses by thousands of miles. It is one thing to expect a Los Angeles-based health food chain to be covered by the New York Times, but it is quite another thing to expect a Hawaii-based health food chain to be covered by the Los Angeles Times. Be that as it may the largest newspaper and the largest TV news station in Hawaii along with other smaller media outlets have covered Down to Earth.
