Doesn't seem to be a notable bookstore. Only five locations, no substantial sources found. Only sources just mentioned events at certain stores. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 02:21, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Neutral. I looked through google news archive pretty thoroughly and found this article on the store itself (as opposed to just something that took place there), but not much else. Chick Bowen 16:32, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Tiny local bookstore applying for beer license ≠ notability, and no claim of notability in the article. Bongomatic (talk) 05:21, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Schuler Books is a fairly significant presence in mid-Michigan. While others scoff WP:OTHERSTUFF is not a very good reason, if we're keeping pokeman characters this is certainly of greater note than many such characters. Its mentioned in a few publications about the bookselling industry, Big-box Swindle, Rebel Booseller. older ≠ wiser 02:34, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I think you've substituted "greater note" for "of more interest and importance to thinking adults in mid-Michigan". I would guess Pokemon is a hundreds-of-millions of dollar a year business with tens of millions of avid fans (however, such fans not generally falling into "thinking adults" category).

 * Yes, and I picked Pokeman because it is an easily recognized shorthand. We have articles on 19th century companies of arguably lesser relative significance, countless articles on places in which nothing of note ever happened and that few people have ever heard of. Is an article on a relatively large regional bookseller that is "of more interest and importance to thinking adults in mid-Michigan" than minor Pokeman characters unencyclopedic? older ≠ wiser 03:00, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * You might have missed the fact that over 90% of the Pokémon articles got merged into lists last year... Stifle (talk) 08:32, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
