The face shop
Non-notable outside of Asia, as far as I can determine via Google. At best, this company (if it exists) is clearly not known outside of Korea, and this substub is not likely to be improved to be at all useful in the near future. I thus propose deletion. NicholasTurnbull 05:39, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep for now. Just because its not notable outside a current country doesn't mean its not notable (otherwise Macy's would have to get deleted or Mall of America). I think 9130 google hits seems notable until other evidence is given. Sasquatch&#08242;&#08596;Talk&#08596;Contributions 06:01, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete borderline notable at best. JamesBurns 09:08, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: It is a fairly high-profile retail operation in South Korea.  -- Visviva 11:34, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. With 240 branches in South Korea, it is clearly notable. Nothing borderline about it. Has any of you googled for it in Korean, in order to get a real hit count? Uppland 11:55, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 37,800. -- Visviva 13:34, 21 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep, for reasons outlined by Sasquatch and Uppland. -- Lochaber 11:57, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, against my better judgement. I'd vote to delete the whole company if I could. Cosmetics, ugh.  :-) -- Visviva 13:51, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Google counts. Xoloz 04:37, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, since non-notable outside of a whole continent is not the same as non-notable (i.e. deleting this would probably be systemic bias). However, move to The Face Shop. -Splash 18:10, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
