This is one of multiple listings for non-notable funeral homes in the Cedar Rapids, IA area. ES2 20:03, 27 April 2006 (UTC) I am also nominating the following related pages; they are all listings for non-notable funeral homes in the same area.:[reply]
- Egelhof, Siegert, and Casper Funeral Homes
- Hoffmann-Schneider Funeral Home
- Leonard Funeral Home and Crematory
- Leonard Funeral Home and Crematory
- Reiff Funeral Homes
Miller Funeral Home was listed for AfD separately before I could lump it in with these. The author has also created at least one category, (Category:Funeral Homes. --ES2 20:11, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, no notability asserted. Kimchi.sg | talk 20:13, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]- Retain All - especially Cedar Memorial, as it is a well known Cedar Rapids cemetery. And to follow Fan1967's logic, if we are going to delete articles because Wikipedia is not the Yellow Pages means that there are probably thousands of articles in Wikipedia that should be deleted because they deal with businesses.

- Comment There is a large difference between a notable business, e.g. Microsoft, and a business, cemetery, or other place that no one outside Cedar Rapids has heard of. That said, you are correct; there are probably thousands of articles like this on WP that have slipped through, and hundreds more deleted every day. --ES2 20:22, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Hoffman-Schneider happens to be the oldest funeral home businesses in the state of Iowa, tracing its orgins all the way back to the same year that Iowa became a state, 1846. I think that makes it worthy of note, which is why I oppose the deletion of this article.

- Keep now that JesseG has stated their notability. Kimchi.sg | talk 20:53, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment He has argued for the notability of one of them. The Leonard home, on the other hand, is about ten years old. Fan1967 21:12, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep all without prejudice to any appropriate selective individual re-nomination. --Rob 00:52, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
