Apparent local company, fails to establish notability through reliable sources. Wizardman 15:19, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Sibley's was a prominent shoe store chain in Michigan -- not just Detroit Metro, I know they went as far north as Alpena. There are already two decent sources in the article, and here's a third. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 15:23, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep assuming the basic facts of the article are true, especially 83 years of history, 38 retail locations, a sizable workforce (350+), and being a notable retailer in a major metropolitan area... they're notable enough. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:33, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I rewrote the article and added inline citations. It's still not too much, but it's at least a decent stub now, and it doesn't read like proseline. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 18:21, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Well done! It's looking a lot better already, and is now a solid stub. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:31, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
