 * Keep - Easily meets WP:GNG (for instance, look at the Highbeam link above - search for Kramerbooks minus Afterwords). The article needs work, but it's received a lot of coverage besides the Lewinsky story, which was covered by numerous news organizations like The Washington Post, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, etc. Besides the Lewinksky story, additional articles include NYT, tons of WaPo pieces like this this, and this, The Guardian, U.S. News & World Report, The Boston Globe, Publisher's Weekly, etc. APK  whisper in my ear  02:25, 17 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep -- appears to be a local institution. I randomly clicked on one of the links provided by APK and got this: "IT'S HARD TO imagine Washington nightlife without Kramerbooks & Afterwords Cafe. Yet it was only 20 years ago that we somehow lived without it" (that was from 1996). K.e.coffman (talk) 06:58, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep With coverage even in the UK's Guardian this is one case where a relatively small business can be notable. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:12, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. A famous bookstore, and as others have already noted it has substantial coverage in both DC-based media and other major media, and not just about Lewinsky. Passes GNG. --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:44, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
