The result was   delete. I am prepared to userfy if Dontforgetthisone assures me that he has actually found sources for notability. JohnCD (talk) 16:08, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

The Griffin

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No indication of notability; web and news searches return nothing. Subject is a now defunct retail store; only "reference" is to the store's facebook page. Without actual references, there is no reason to believe that this particular chain meets WP:CORP or WP:GNG. Qwyrxian (talk) 23:29, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment: I have reverted my non-admin closure of this discussion per the nominator's request on my talk page, as there appears to be more behind this AfD than I was aware of at the time I closed it. Note that the page under discussion is currently at User:Dontforgetthisone/The Griffin. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 15:02, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I have restored the page to The Griffin. The creator of the article should never have userfied, as that's the equivalent of blanking the page during discussion, which is not allowed. Userfication should be at the discretion of the closing admin; however, I personally recommend that userfication not be allowed, because this article will never be appropriate for mainspace. The store simply isn't notable. It was a small retail chain that is now closed; nothing more is ever going to be written on it. Qwyrxian (talk) 23:33, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - No coverage in reliable sources. -- Whpq (talk) 15:41, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - As I have stated on my own talk page, I am currently researching off-line for sources and references on this company. I know they can make it notable. Dontforgetthisone (talk) 03:11, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
