Whirl-Mart

Unreferenced tag for over a year. Article doesn't demonstrate notability. All the external sources that i can find (i. e. Google) appear to be small anti-consumerist websites. But you're welcome to try to convince me that i'm wrong. Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 00:25, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Google News gets 19 hits, incl. a feature in The Austin Chronicle. There's a paragraph in an NYT article and a sentence in another. So, I don't agree that the only sources are anticonsumerist websites.
 * That being said, the notability is clearly marginal. This thing is closely related to Buy Nothing Day and AdBusters and as such I would vote to Merge to either target, preferably the article on B.N.D. &lt;eleland/talkedits&gt; 01:31, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep-- Notable, subject covered by third party reliable sources: Google Books. I will include references to the article. --Jmundo (talk) 03:20, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - Jmundo's sources establish notability beyond reasonable question. I see no reason to plead special exception here. Wily D  12:48, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
