Krazy Krazy

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I physically can't believe I had to start an AfD on this because my PROD was declined, but here we go: this is a small local/regional retailer which fails to meet WP:N (particularly the portion that requires at least national if not worldwide interest) and the expanded WP:NCORP. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 00:10, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:NCORP. No significant coverage found on Google search or Google News. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 00:46, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Changing to Keep. It's truly Krazy Krazy that Bearcat found (below) so many excellent sources! this article is here, as there are no RS available to establish notability. BUT you might get a great deal on a stereo. 11:29, 14 April 2018 (UTC)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.163.140.141 (talk)
 * Keep. A company that's been around since 1983 requires more than just a Google search to establish whether it's notable enough — Google News is not a reliable locator of news coverage that's more than a few years old, and is a complete wipeout for locating anything whatsoever predating the early 2010s. On a ProQuest search for older coverage, however, I am finding a lot more genuinely substantive news coverage than I was expecting to, in sources as diverse as The Globe and Mail, the Ottawa Citizen, the Edmonton Journal, the Calgary Herald and Northern Ontario Business. So for a business based in Winnipeg, that's national coverage pinned and pwned — it's not a purely local retailer, but a formerly much larger national chain that's since shrunk. I can't tackle this right this minute, but I'll buff it up in the next couple of days. Bearcat (talk) 18:58, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Update: Article now significantly expanded and upreffed. Bearcat (talk) 22:39, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks, !vote changed. Dumb question: does Proquest give you the full original articles to read?104.163.140.141 (talk) 01:45, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
 * It depends on the publication. For most, it does — but only if you're logged in through either a proquest account or a partner library — but there are some publications (mostly in Atlantic Canada) for which even a logged-in user still just sees an abstract and not the full text.

 * Good to know! Thank you for this and the article rescue.104.163.140.141 (talk) 03:02, 15 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep notability well established by Bearcat. FloridaArmy (talk) 11:55, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Krazy Krazy Keep – Appears to meet WP:GNG/WP:CORPDEPTH as per sources added to the article by Bearcat. Except for one, the sources are not hyperlinked, so AGF regarding their sufficiency in terms of depth of coverage. Some seem to be routine coverage as per their headlines (e.g. store closures), and the one linked article only has passing mentions, but others do not come across as this.
