List of Apple retail stores in the US

 * Delete. This is a list with no encyclopedic purpose. If someone is interested in finding out where an Apple retail store is, they should click on the external link from Apple Store (retail) to the Apple Stores web site.  —Charles O'Rourke 02:43, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not a business directory. Gazpacho 02:50, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Are we going to start doing this with every business? -R. fiend 04:55, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per R. fiend. This article creates a dangerous precedent.  - Thatdog 07:19, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Advertising. Not encyclopedic because it an area where Wikipedia can never do the job as well as other obvious sources. Apple has a far more intense interest in making sure that the public has accurate, complete, comprehensive, up-to-date information on the location of Apple retail stores than Wikipedia ever will, and can be thoroughly relied upon to make this information available to those seeking Apple products&mdash;who, come to think of it, are far more likely to type "www.apple.com" into their browser than "en.wikipedia.org." Assuming they don't just open their local telephone book, of course. Dpbsmith (talk) 10:03, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Clearly unsustainable and outside the boundaries of an encyclopedic project. Dottore So 14:08, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unencyclopedic. -- BD2412 talk 15:05, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete Advertising, and a horrible "slippery slope" that could lead to the inclusion of every building in the universe. Xoloz 17:40, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
