Golden Apple Comics

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

Contested prod, comic store chain which does not meet notability and lacks non-trivial coverage in reliable third party publications. JBsupreme (talk) 06:37, 3 July 2008 (UTC) 
 * Keep or Move. It could certainly use some improvement, but between the late owner, Bill Liebowitz, and the store being featured prominently in many different media, this subject is certainly notable. Everything in the article meets WP:V and not having in-line sources is not a criterion for deletion. I might support moving this to Bill Liebowitz (which is currently a redirect to this article) but not deletion. Kafziel Complaint Department 07:08, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Bill Liebowitz and make the Liebowitz page about him. The store itself probably isn't notable enough on its own whereas Liebowitz would seem to meet the criteria for inclusion. Jasynnash2 (talk) 13:44, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep or at least change the redirect direction. http://news.google.com/archivesearch?sourceid=navclient-ff&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS251US252&um=1&tab=wn&hl=en&q=%22Golden+Apple+Comics&ie=UTF-8 hints strongly at notability.  Hobit (talk) 23:42, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. A quick Google search for "Golden Apple Comics" turns up several things like this, and this. GNews turns up what appears to be a LA Times cover story that at least mentions Golden Apple Comics. Heck, even ol' Stan "The Man" Lee himself has been there! ~  Wakanda's Black Panther! &spades; / &diams; 01:58, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Major, iconic chain of stores, basically the comic book equivalent of Tower Records in some respects. I just saw the store prominently featured in Sex and Death 101 in fact. The LA Times cover story is more than enough to establish notability, even beyond the film reference. 23skidoo (talk) 13:08, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
