Barron founded a successful department store. Still it was just located in one county in South Carolina. We have a local obituary and maybe mention in a local history, and that is it. Just not enough to demonstate notability. John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:46, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete by all means as the obvious piece is the fact it was started as a family memorial by his own family, there's simply nothing amounting to genuine notability and substance hence delete as WP:NOT also applies. SwisterTwister talk 19:28, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, does not meet WP:GNG, gsearch brings up nothing useable, just lots of listings of businesses located on the lane named after Barron, also WP:NOTMEMORIAL. Coolabahapple (talk) 05:00, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
