I changed it from prod to AFD after finding some local news sources on the subject, but discounting passing mentions and such I could only, there's very little in reliable sourcing that talks directly about the subject. Delete Secret account 22:20, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete individual branches of chain supermarkets aren't notable, even if unspecified famous folks sometimes shop there. Though the presence of local mentions might mean a line in Ralphs could be appropriate. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  22:44, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Besides local coverage mentioned by the nom, the national and Boston-based Christian Science Monitor and the non-local Tampa Tribune and Dallas Morning News have also given some non-trivial more-than-passing-mentions coverage to this establishment. --Oakshade (talk) 22:54, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The Tampa Tribune article (I have access) is a passing mention comes from the AP article and talks about Drew Carey not the supermarket, I don't have access to nither the Dallas Morning News (which I think talks about the neighborhood) and I think I have access to the Christian Science Monitor, I have to check if I do.

 * Delete & Merge - This is part of a larger company, and if there are notable locations of this company, and seeing as how it doesn't really meet WP:GNG on its own, then it's reference-able content should be moved into a section of its parent company. For instance if an In & Out Burger location would get a massive amount of coverage for its openning in local or regional reliable sources, that doesn't make that one location notable. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 06:30, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge to Ralphs, if any sources can be found.   Will Beback    talk    01:14, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - found coverage in the Dallas Morning News and Tampa Tribune. KVIKountry (talk) 00:15, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * That coverage are not significant of the subject Ibluffsocall (talk) 20:39, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - any fame (notoriety) is entirely second-hand; or do we allow any article about a shop that has been visited by a celebrity with his/her PR person in tow ? I don't believe so or otherwise we would have almost every shop in Hollywood, London, Dubai, Sidney, Adwick upon Dearne etc with an article here.  Velella  Velella Talk 20:42, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
