New Deal Supermarket

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This page is either a total hoax or a non-notable one-off. While New Deal existed at one time, all the "locations" listed are former boxes of other stores (like Winn-Dixie) and have no identifiable past as NDS. There is no website, no directory listings online, no reviews online, no news article online, no modern photographs, there is literally no proof of this chain existing at all. The "departments" are generic fluff. TheListUpdater (talk) 18:13, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment - This chain of stores definitely existed, though there are barely any secondary sources regarding it; just a lot of one-sentence mentions:.
 * This source states: "This small chain of grocery stores was founded by Walter Heckendorf, Sr., in 1933. At its height c. 1980, the chain had 15 stores in the Central California cities of Turlock, Modesto, Stockton, Manteca, Merced, Oakdale and Los Banos." As well, this source has some detail.  How much of those two sources were copied from this 10 year-old Wikipedia article is debatable.
 * Much of the article is likely original research. It's odd more wasn't written about these stores.  The lack of sources led to the first AfD here.  Magnolia677 (talk) 20:47, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete -- unsourced OR, while containing a full store directory. Not something one would expect to find in an encyclopedia. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:33, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
