ScholarShop

Fails WP:ORG and WP:GNG, due to the lack of any in-depth coverage in independent reliable sources. Luke no 94 (tell Luke off here) 12:38, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

I agree with this, I vouch to remove this page as well. Tritario (talk) 12:39, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment. There are lots of hits on Google News, but they're all subscription.  Maybe someone can comment on whether they're relevant? NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:56, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Looked at NewsBank. 287 hits. The problem is, most of them are in error (scholarship ~= scholarshop), or they are local St. Louis sources, or trivial mentions. It would be a lot of time and work to go through each one and try to make a case for Keep. My rough estimate is there is not enough sourcing. I did find in-depth sources that talk about the ScholarShop at length as the main focus of the article, but all from the same local paper:
 * "Cool factor of resale shopping benefits ScholarShop - Everyone loves a bargain, and now they're not afraid to admit it", St. Louis Post-Dispatch
 * "Scholarship fund opens temporary outlet for sale", St. Louis Post-Dispatch
 * "ScholarShop's success leads to opening of a second store", St. Louis Post-Dispatch
 * "SCHOLARSHOP USES UPSCALE CASTOFFS TO PROVIDE LOANS FOR FUTURE SCHOLARS", St. Louis Post-Dispatch
