This is an overtly promotional article created by an editor who seems to creating similarly promotional articles for other jewelry stores. There are sources here, but nothing that would substantiate a claim of notability and no other such sources were found in a Google search. Alansohn (talk) 20:59, 22 July 2016 (UTC)


 * This page is meant to be information on Corinne Jewelers in Toms River, NJ. It is to service for information on a local institution, whose notability have a small range, but is very much alive in the Toms River area. As for the wont of sources, that is regrettable, but I am working on finding more sources, and plan on keeping the page updated when any new, reputable sources arise from local New Jersey press or other larger scale publications/websites. As for my other pages that are similar, the same sort of reasoning applies. These are locally notable businesses, and offer a level of interest for jewelry enthusiasts as well as for locals who are interested in the economic history of their hometowns. Further, nothing stated in the article is meant to be promotional, as they are facts that can be verified by the sources provided. Considering this cannot be stripped down further, claims of overt promotion are subjective and unsubstantiated. J.Showcase (talk) 21:29, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete -- not notable outside a local area. Kierzek (talk) 22:05, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Just because it exists and is a going concern does not mean it is notable as a business. In fact, we tend to delete articles on local stores, and this seems to be another little local suburban jewelry store. We are not a web host for businesses, the Wikimedia Foundation is a private charity. This is objectively promotional because it literally uses its "catchphrase 'Bring her into Corinne.'" Also, citing a press release from "mail.instoremag.com/shine-press" is the very picture of promotion. Many business were affected by Superstorm Sandy; if we had an article on every one of them, we'd be JerseyShoreandFireIslandPedia, not English Wikipedia. A "custom 1.64-carat radiant-cut pink diamond" is not that special. The store was established in 1964, the same year I was. That's not old, I tell myself. Bearian (talk) 20:10, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
