Snow Goose Produce

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Disputed PROD. Article is about a run-of-the-mill farmstand with no significant coverage outside of the local region; the sources found outside of the area are passing mentions in a travel piece about the county as a whole. Attempts to find articles in other regional newspapers (Portland and Vancouver, B.C.) did not yield results. Doesn't pass the WP:NCORP sniff test in my view.  Sounder Bruce  04:59, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep Snow Goose Produce has received significant coverage in multiple national, independent, reliable secondary sources in addition to its local/regional citations.
 * National magazine Sunset wrote a full article on the business and described it as "the farmstand of all farmstands".
 * The market was rated the No. 1 "Best Roadside Stand" in the country by national magazine Martha Stewart Living.
 * The Detroit Free Press citation is not a "passing mention"; around 1/2 of the article is directly dedicated to Snow Goose Produce. The Michigan-based writer uses the farm stand as the framing for her entire Skagit Valley travel article and describes the market as "the best metaphor for this earnestly rural region".

 * The Detroit Free Press article has five paragraphs related to the stand, not "around 1/2". The Sunset article is a short listicle, and the MSL article (which I cannot access) is probably of the same vein. Frankly, it'd have to be an extremely special farmstand to warrant an article; there's no obvious sign that it is.  Sounder Bruce  06:51, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
 * You are not counting the article's lead or ending, both of which are dedicated to this notable farm stand.
 * 11/19 of the indented or bolded paragraphs are about Snow Goose Produce... over half.
