- Keep Are you saying that the entries aren't notable? Most of these are blue links, meaning that an article exists on Wikipedia for the particular chain. Yeah, I know, there are people who will say "a category works better" -- as if we had to make a choice between a category or a list, one or the other. Some folks, myself included, find it easier to navigate with a list than to run through a maze of categories and subcategories. Not everyone thinks supermarkets are important, I suppose; for most of us, we go to them to add to collections that we build inside our homes. Mandsford (talk) 14:26, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
