Contesting spam tag[edit]

I am contesting the db-spam tag, since Brooks Eckerd is an offshoot of Eckerd and Brooks Pharmacy articles. Unless you are treating these other two articles as spam as well, which have already proceeded beyond stub levels from several independant editors, this article should not be speedily deleted. --Sigma 7 23:22, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that since Brooks and Eckerd have separate pages, it might be feasible to delete this page, and include the information on the Brooks and Eckerd pages (or combine the two articles. However, I don't see how this article reads as an advertisement. --Mrath 04:24, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge[edit]

This article offers no further information than the Eckerd Pharmacy page. It could be merged without increasing the length or taking away from the Brooks Eckerd article information. 166.82.206.146 01:13, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, Brooks Eckerd Pharmacy is the combined company/organization that Coutu created when he merged Brooks Pharmacy and Eckerd Pharmacy. It is a different company than Eckerd by itself or Brooks by itself. 204.84.244.129 20:48, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely not. The Brooks Eckerd Corporation is NOT Eckerd. It was the new comany formed under the merger of BROOKS Pharmacy and Eckerd Pharmacy. There were major changes enacted between store operations under former Eckerd stores, and newly formed BROOKS Eckerd Stores
