Amazon in Ontario

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Amazon has 185 fulfillment centers around the world, not unlike other major retail corporations, listed at List_of_Amazon_locations. I don't think it's notable (i.e. discussed as a specific group per WP:LISTN) or encyclopedic to split that list for those in a particular province to have routine local news about warehouses.

 * Delete: as per nom, this article does not meet notability for organisations: WP:ORGCRITE --Whiteguru (talk) 05:56, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Amazon is obviously notable but warehouses in Ontario are not. Fails notability for organizations. Coverage is only routine facts in local news. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 18:56, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I fail to see how most of this is "routine facts." A complete disregard for safety during COVID, the issuing of a municipal zoning order (which is only used in extreme cases) to prevent the destruction of a provincially-significant wetland, and a North American record in inventory tower size?
 * Per "local news", that's solely because they were the best sources for the news. The COVID plight made national newspapers in Canada, like The National Post. Similarly national The Globe and Mail mentioned the words Amazon and Brampton 34 times in 2020, 2021, according to the ProQuest database. Beyond that, local newspapers across the country carried the stories of Amazon's wildfire cases, like [The Vancouver Sun. --  [[User:Zanimum|Zanimum]] (talk) 11:32, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Amazon locations. Nfitz (talk) 23:20, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, if nothing else move to Amazon in Canada, which would talk about their larger practices. During the initial waves of COVID, their warehouses absolutely crippled Peel (Brampton, Mississauga, Caledon in the article) with cases. In Pickering, they attempt to build on provincially-significant wetland. Their inventory tower in Caledon is considered the largest in the world. In short, they are constantly noteworthy. --  Zanimum (talk) 11:14, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Nfitz; we don't need detailed coverage of the construction of every warehouse, and "Amazon employee gets COVID" is simply not notable on its own. There's nothing else of note here that can't be covered in List of Amazon locations. User:力 (power~enwiki,  π,  ν ) 19:48, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
