Globe Department Store

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable singular department store. Despite a long history, it doesn't seem to have been significantly covered in any reliable sources; even if it were, I doubt that it would extend beyond local coverage anyway. Any verifiable information should probably be merged to Mall at Steamtown, which was built around the store.

 * Delete per non-notability. Alpha 4615 (talk) 23:36, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to Mall at Steamtown. As mentioned by the nominator this store was central to the mall and plainly should be mentioned in the article. Sourceable material here. I don't see why this was proposed for deletion rather than merged as an editorial action. TerriersFan (talk) 00:38, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Change to keep after addition of sources. TerriersFan (talk) 03:17, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I'm beginning to think Eastmain could find sources for the ham sandwich in my fridge. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:30, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
