Midnight Special (store)[edit]

This article miraculously survived an AFD a little while ago (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Midnight Special) with very few votes, in spite of the fact the article only says that it's a store in Santa Monica, making it borderline speediable. Not a single claim of notability, nor any indication that it's anything other than one of several hundred thousand bookstores in the country. -R. fiend 20:09, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete what's in there - short as it is - includes apparent editorialising ("forced to close"). Does not quite reach the giddy heights of being a stub. I would not know this place from a hole in the ground, which is apparently what it now is... Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] 22:21, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, interesting and verifiable history [1]. Possible merge. Kappa 10:10, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • You know, it's just so fantastic when people argue at AFD about how fascinating and unique a subject is, while the article (which is what we're discussing) still says "it's a store". -R. fiend 18:27, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • One-line substub, that's a delete from me. I'm open to change if it's expanded; otherwise I will infer that nobody cares about it enough :) Stifle 23:33, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Does not appear to meet WP:CORP. Vegaswikian 23:37, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
