Declined PROD. Listcruft, don't need an exhaustive list of every location. Dough4872 01:53, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose or Merge This list was in the Microsoft Store article (like in the Apple Store article). I think it is a relevant list to have and it doesn't harm Wikipedia for it to exist. If this ends up getting deleted I would propose Merge to Microsoft Store as a collapsed ~~list~~ table. —DIYeditor (talk) 02:09, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- We do not need a list of every store location. We can summarize in the Microsoft Store how many stores exist and in what countries stores are in. Dough4872 02:03, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well I have generally opposed this kind of detailed list in store articles (like H&M) especially since such lists are often out of date or don't have citations. I was going to totally delete it from Microsoft Store but didn't see the harm in a list article for it so I am not going to be majorly bothered if it gets deleted. Still prefer merger if it can't exist as a standalone. Maybe the equivalent list should be deleted from Apple Store? —DIYeditor (talk) 03:17, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
