Keep. This article from El Nuevo Día is significant coverage, and El Nuevo Día,a leading newspaper in Puerto Rico, is a reliable source. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 02:22, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

One source does not meet WP:CORPDEPTH. If that were the case, any company would pretty much qualify for its own Wikipedia page.--CNMall41 (talk) 07:19, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep, a legendary company in Puerto Rico. Antonio Fingerman Martin (dilo aqui!) 04:48, 15 January, 2019 (UTC)

Why "strong" based on a single source pointed out above? "Legendary" is not part of the criteria for WP:NCORP which is what would be required to keep the page. Since Wikipedia is based on sources and not reputation of a company, can you point out the references that would meet WP:CORPDEPTH?--CNMall41 (talk) 07:19, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Despite no web coverage, the article passes WP:CORPDEPTH. Sheldybett (talk) 07:51, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Despite no web coverage, the article passes WP:CORPDEPTH." Did I read that correctly? That is exactly why it would NOT pass CORPDEPTH.--CNMall41 (talk) 18:05, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep because they have stores in 37 of the 78 municipalities of P.R. http://www.lagloriapr.net/lagloria/Tiendas.html --the eloquent peasant (talk) 13:14, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can you show me the WP:NCORP guideline that talks about companies being notable based on the number of stores they have? --CNMall41 (talk) 20:22, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Comment AntonioMartin, Sheldybett, Level C, "notable" does not mean the same thing on Wikipedia that it does in the physical world. Please see Wikipedia:Notability for general notability guidelines, Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) for guidelines to this specific AfD, and Wikipedia:Reliable Sources for what sources can be used. My apologies if you already know this. Aurornisxui (talk) 01:34, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete Article does not meet WP:ORGCRIT, WP:CORPDEPTH for the following reasons:

Of the sources listed, only the El Nueva Dia is RS. The first is an ad for the shoe store at a mall published by the owning company of the mall. The second is a directory listing with address, phone, etc. While there is the founding date of the company, this does not meet WP:CORPDEPTH. The third is another ad. The fourth is a webpage from La Gloria's competitors and the site is under construction. The fifth is the El Nueva Dia article.
I went searching for more information. I tried Newspapers.com to see if Florida papers might have something. No results. I searched for Puerto Rican newspapers and found this listing. I tried several papers, especially those that deal with business, but no results there either. I did a search for "La Gloria zapateria" and "La Gloria calzado" and "Tiendas La Gloria", no results.
