How to avoid page removal
Kelsey, re your comments here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Kinley_Drug_Co._Ltd.&oldid=763681126 "This page is not promotional!!!! Stop trying to delete it. This business is a historical property over 100 years old." as has been previously noted in some comments on past deleted versions of the page to keep the page from being removed you have to demonstrate that the subject of the page meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline. That means you can't just put up a blurb saying what the store is, you have to back it up with third party reliable sources. You might want to try going thru the articles for creation process, that'll allow you to build the article & have experienced editors and admins review it and give you pointers on how to make it acceptable before you try to post it. If you just keep creating it again & again without making it acceptable not only will it keep getting deleted but an administrator will probably put a lock on the name so no one can create the page. Deleting the comments/deletion notices here and recreating the page again won't fix it, please ask some of us for help, or try the Teahouse and find out how to make it work.

Ridiculous.
 * I'm sorry you feel that way, and none of this is intended personally or as an attack on you or your efforts. The issue is that Wikipedia is not supposed to just be a listing of everything ever, but an encyclopedia of notable things.  If it had a page on ever business that ever existed, it would be impossibly unwieldy to navigate and the bandwidth & storage would be crushing.  That means a page can't be accepted just because someone says "this is notable."  That notability has to be demonstrated.  Given that the store's founder has a page, and since you say it has a long history, there should be ample sources to cite to save the page.  As noted, ask for help, people will give it!  Articles for Creation is a great resources. JamesG5 (talk) 17:23, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Well I have seen many pages on here for businesses or organizations with little to no information on them.
 * True. But as noted at WP:OTHERSTUFF that doesn't mean those articles are necessarily legit, either.  It might mean no one's caught them yet.  A lot of us are constantly working to clean that sort of thing up.  That doesn't change the point that what you're doing doesn't meet the standard.  If you could find a few sources, maybe from the page of the guy who created the place, that alone might be enough to fix it. As a side note, you might want to take a look at WP:TPGHELP and specifically WP:THREAD for some guidelines on how to indent and sign your posts in convos like this to keep things organized & readable.  The big deal is making sure, whether here or on article talk pages, you sign anything you post with 4 tildes, like this ~ .  That's what puts your name at the end of the comment.
