Sibleys Shoes

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Apparent local company, fails to establish notability through reliable sources. Wizardman 15:19, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Sibley's was a prominent shoe store chain in Michigan -- not just Detroit Metro, I know they went as far north as Alpena. There are already two decent sources in the article, and here's a third. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 15:23, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep assuming the basic facts of the article are true, especially 83 years of history, 38 retail locations, a sizable workforce (350+), and being a notable retailer in a major metropolitan area... they're notable enough. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  16:33, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I rewrote the article and added inline citations. It's still not too much, but it's at least a decent stub now, and it doesn't read like proseline. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 18:21, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well done! It's looking a lot better already, and is now a solid stub. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  19:31, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
