 * Keep - This used to be Staples Inc in Australia and New Zealand; article is needed to make this reference and definitely passes WP:GNG. Pesa881 (talk) 11:44, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment A simple small paragraph in Staples could provide the details. All the reference in this are Churnalism, except one, which is the Sydney Morning News, and that is a name drop. scope_creep (talk) 11:52, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Don't know about New Zealand, but Staples was big in Australia. Winc took over Staple's shops there, which makes it worth the article. Pesa881 (talk) 12:06, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep - As per Pesa881. Redirect to Staples, but do not delete first, because editors in the future may prove notability and recreate the article, that way the page history will be preserved. - Henry TALK  04:40, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. The former Staples stores in Australia and New Zealand will now have different designs, merchandise and strategies than the Staples stores in the United States and Canada. Mixing the two together in a single article is a recipe for confusion. Moreover, Winc New Zealand has apparently been sold, or is about to be sold. http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/BU1807/S00112/commission-approves-purchaser-for-winc.htm https://www.reseller.co.nz/article/643358/rich-lister-swoops-winc-nz/ An infobox that combined financial figures, store count and employee count for Winc and Staples would be meaningless. Winc is already notable in its own right, and the ownership change is fundamental to that notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 05:14, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: a major national chain, which is a sufficient claim of significance. A redirect to Staples Inc. would not be appropriate as that page states: "In 2016, Staples divested its Australian and New Zealand businesses...". These are now unrelated businesses, separately owned and operating under separate brands. A redirect would be confusing to the readers. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:37, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
