The result was   keep. Notability is not temporary, so I evaluated the discussion in that light. The proposed redirect was fairly well rebuted as well, so I accorded that argument less weight. What was left was a rough consensus to keep. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  01:30, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Cala Foods

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

There is only one such store. And it's scheduled to close. This chain was never very large in the first place. D O N D E groovily  Talk to me  14:34, 12 November 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:38, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral Though I'm not fully sure this passes WP:CORP, neither is it the slam-dunk delete it may at first appear to be, as they appear to have had notability at one time. In 1973 they acquired QFI, whose article claims they were the #3 chain in the region.  At the very least, I'd say a redirect to Kroger is warranted.

 * Comment Do NOT redirect to Kroger. I imagine a bunch of the store's employees don't know it's owned by Kroger (This is true of the big chains like Fred Meyer). This would be an extraordinarily confusing redirect. No one would be able to find a mention of tiny Cala Foods in an article about huge Kroger.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Redirect to Kroger, I agree with Starblind. It doesn't matter if anyone is aware that it's owned by Kroger; the store is owned by Kroger, and that's all that matters.--res Laozi speak  05:40, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable store chain with significant history. A merge of QFI into this article might be reasonable. Merging with Kroger makes no sense to me (article suggests it became part of Ralphs... which is itself a notable division of Kroger) PicodeGato (talk) 01:31, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep: It is a notable store chain. - Ret.Prof (talk) 15:16, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
