Big Dogs

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not appear to be a notable company as per WP:CORP. Purely an advertisement, and has been significantly contributed to by editors with WP:COI. Contains WP:PUFFERY and weasel words to make the company appear notable. I agree it exists, but Wikipedia is not a business directory (✉→BWilkins←✎) 10:09, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I've nominated it for a speedy under promotional concerns because well, just look at it. You can't get any more promotional than that unless they were to list coupon codes right on the Wikipedia page. If by some chance it doesn't, I did try to search for sources. There are routine mentions of stores opening/closing/whatnot as well as a large amount of press releases, but not enough in-depth coverage about the company itself to show that it would pass WP:CORP. As Bwilkins put it, the company exists but we're not a directory. This company just isn't notable enough for Wikipedia.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 12:29, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
