Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

The company guideline is the closest one that fits. You have given no independent, reliable sources to prove what you say or its notability in general. It might merit a section in the school's main article, but that's it. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 18:33, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I DID give a reliable source, the u's website. If you noticed, I reworded it to say that it is more of a recycling center. You are erasing it based on an opinion, a false one at that. Lmreeder (talk) 19:04, 10 June 2008 (UTC)lmreede

The university's website is not an independent, reliable source because it is connected through the school to the store. The store is simply not notable enough on its own for inclusion in Wikipedia. Please read the notability guidelines before you attempt this again. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 19:13, 10 June 2008 (UTC
