W Boyes & Co

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unreferenced advert - "offer reasonable prices". Laun chba  ller  11:34, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep A firm with 130 year history; one promotional phrase is not grounds for deletion. Most recent coverage is in regional press from across the north of England (Yorks, Notts, Derbyshire, etc) and trade press: there's stuff about company history as well as reports on store openings and sales figures Owing to company history, there is likely to be more coverage from pre-internet days. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:00, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. A chain of 49 department stores is certainly notable. As to being an advert, please! -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:53, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * The article was an advert when I AfDd it. Withdrawn.-- Laun  chba  ller  14:05, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Nope, wasn't an advert then either. A little promotional maybe, but you could have deleted that yourself. Would have taken less time than AfDing! -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:14, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
