Unsourced forever, WP:WORLDWIDE americanism, no attempt at refs, extremely US-centric. Delete it and let me have a go at making an article at Bargain basement, which redirects here. But it needs deleting regardless, this is just a personal opinio in the style of an WP:ESSAY, with no RS, no sod all. Si Trew ( talk) 22:04, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
- Be Bold The article itself is poor but I don't think the underlying topic is. Why don't you rewrite it, rename it Bargain basement, and make this a redirect to your new and improved article? (I'm not quite going to oppose this nomination, but I don't think it's necessary.)01:24, 5 November 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by RevelationDirect ( talk • contribs)
- Keep per RevelationDirect. MW [1] -- there should be enough material out there to build a proper article on this topic. It is already tagged as a stub for retailing. -- 67.70.35.44 ( talk) 07:45, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

- Speedy keep per criteria 1. "The nominator... fails to advance an argument for deletion". It is clear from the nomination that the nominator believes this to be a notable subject, as they are proposing to write an article on the subject under a different title. There is an objection that the article is unsourced, but, as the nominator is proposing to write an article on the subject, he either knows there are sources or believes there to be sources. That those sources are not present right now is not a reason to delete. The other objections – reading too much like an essay (which I don't think it does), being "too American" – are content issues, not deletion issues. It's nowhere near WP:TNT territory. The nominator is free to FIXIT if he doesn't think it's written very well. The only "benefit" to the nominator's plan is to move the article from Bargain bin to Bargain basement without having to file a Requested Move. This seems an unnecessarily complex way to do an RM. Just do an RM. Egsan Bacon ( talk) 16:26, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
