Laforet
A department store in Tokyo, no claim to notability. Tokyo has probably lots of them. JoaoRicardo 03:39, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

they also have an art gallery event space where many artist all over the world come to http://www.lapnet.jp/event_info/lm/index.html
 * Yes, Tokyo does. However, though it's pretty clumsily expressed in the article, Laforet is fairly well-known as part of youth-culture fashion. See some of the 5,030 hits it gets on Google ("Laforet+Tokyo-Hotel"). Keep and clean up. --Calton 03:47, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment: This was apparently never listed on vfd, so I'm putting it on today's page. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 03:07, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep: Seems notable but needs to be expanded. --Fuzzball! (talk) 04:43, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Japanese department stores are every bit as notable as american ones. Dave the Red (talk) 05:03, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Having lived in Tokyo, I know this to be a signifigant part of the culture. --Halidecyphon 07:43, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Other articles link to this article. Capitalistroadster 11:32, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Not a valid reason to keep (if people can say "not a valid reason to delete", I can do the same :-). However, "could be worthy of inclusion, keep if expanded" is. Chris talk back 16:53, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
