Talk:Anderson's Grocery

notability tag
I reverted the notability tag as I feel the store has enough coverage in sources to full fill wp:Local criteria at the least, and with the industry award, Mention on the US House of representatives floor, soil contamination/endangering the city wells and being the oldest continually operating business in Republic it merits the article.-- Kev min  § 00:52, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I have to disagree, as there is no focused coverage from a newspaper outside of Eastern Washington that would help it meet GNG. A House floor mention is a typical display of small-town pride for a congressperson and can be given for just about every achievement. The Ecology reports might qualify it but that would also confer notability on thousands of industrial sites across the state.  Sounder Bruce  00:59, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * outside of Eastern Washington This feels inherently coastie biased in position, to be honest. It got significant coverage in the Newspaper of note for the second largest city in the state. Saying that the coverage NEEDS to come from outside eastern WA is the same as sayin all Seattle area businesses are only notable if they are getting significant coverage from Spokane, Portland or Vancouver, anything closer would be too close.-- Kev  min  § 15:04, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * It also applies to anything in Seattle. Per WP:AUD, significant coverage from media outside the immediate local area and especially from the largest publications in a given region are strong indicators of notability. Personally, I'm not a fan of the proliferation of articles about small businesses here either, but there's only so much time to dedicate to fighting over articles.
