I don't think it's of any use to anyone. It's a showroom, not an article.If we keep this article, we might create an article named "Ikea [name of place]" and have people take pictures of the furnitue there.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Puntaalpo (talk • contribs) 05:21, 7 September 2013‎ (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep - Nominator does not provide a policy-based reason for deletion. WP:ITSNOTUSEFUL. No prejudice against renomination with an actual rationale. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 07:24, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think that a good case can be made for saying that the present structure of the article is useful to those who wanted to compare road signs. As Bushranger says, that is not a valid rationale for deletion and AfD is not for improving articles. Roadsign articles in WP are problematic and often inadequately sourced because the technical background to the rationale for countries adopting their own variant is frequently not readily accessible and requires good language knowledge. But the article can develop - it is very likely that there has been a technical study published on this topic. --AJHingston (talk) 08:59, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep - In addition to The Bushranger's policy-based arguments, I can tell you this article WAS useful: It shows the legitimacy of an image in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone article bearing a stop sign in English. Even though one might think that would be inappropriate in Ukraine (not even the right alphabet, just for starters), this article shows that except for fonts, stop signs in Ukraine (and most of Europe) look just like they do in the U.S. --RBBrittain (talk) 16:47, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep - per Bushranger and RBBrittain. öBrambleberry of RiverClan 23:50, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
