Narita Wholesale Market

 * – ( View AfD View log )

An article about a marketplace in Narita, Japan that neither has any references, or shows any indication of notability. The only external links provided are to the city's website, which does not really count as a reliable third party source, and while searches bring up a few hits that show that this place exists, I can find none that would count as a reliable third party source that would help to establish notability. I originally tagged it for Speedy Deletion under criteria A7, but the speedy was removed with the explanation of "probably notable", however since I can find no evidence that this is true, I brought it here for consensus.

 * Comment. I was the one who added “probably notable”. Could someone with access to Japanese-language sources take a look? I would expect that something like this would have useful references somewhere. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 15:55, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete and consider merging it into the Narita, Chiba article. I'm in the U.S., saw lots of references to other similar markets in Japan, saw nothing about Narita's in my searching except for the Narita market's website and its web traffic. Im sure to those in the area of Narita, it is as popular as Walmart is here, but I think this equates to my local Walmart having its own article. Simply because my Walmart is the most popular store in my town does not qualify it for its own article.  Nothing on their website says anything about "biggest" or "most visited" or "most famous." The city website sort of tells the tale, or should I say...doesn't tell anything about the market that I could find. It's not listed on any of the half-dozen or so organized tours (though other businesses are), it's not mentioned in its "Guide to Daily Life" download although many, many other businesses are, none of them being a business within the Narita market. Nothing in the site map points to any category it would be included in. Ken Tholke (talk) 18:23, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
