Encore Cinemas
You left an unsigned comment on my page regarding this page. The answer to your question is that no, not only corporate chains get a place on wikipedia, but to qualify, there must be some assertion of notablilty, and encyclopedic interest. Wikipedia is not a local gazetter. If for example, the cinemas were located in historic buildings, or were the only cinemas for 1000sq km, there is some element of notability to build on, but no such claim is made. Indeed, the article itself, has no information about the theatre, only the owner. I have placed this article on the Articles for deletion list, where you can watch if a consensus is reached, and make comments yourself. MNewnham 22:51, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
