Robert Simpson's Department Stores
There already is an article on the Simpson's department store (and one on Robert Simpson as well). Moreover, the article is mostly inaccurate. Simpson's was never merged with Sears Canada (they had a joint venture in the suburbs, which did not affect any Simpson's stores), Maison Simons did not purchase the Simpson's stores in Quebec (Simons moved into part of the former Simpson's store on Ste. Catherine in Montreal, years after Simpson's had left), and Simpson's was founded in 1872, not 1860. Given these errors, there isn't anything left to merge with the Simpson's article.

 * Redirect. Merge isn't necessary, but considering who did this, redirecting the title at least reduces the likelihood of recreation. Bearcat 20:33, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
