Parisian and Parisian (Bon-Ton)

[edit]

Created seperate pages for the legacy Parisian aquired by Belk and for the Parisian stores aquired by Bon-Ton. Since Bon-Ton did not buy Parisian or the name, just five of its stores with the naming rights to those stores, it did not make sense to have current information on the Bon-Ton Parisian under the legacy Belk Parisian page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BhamAla (talkcontribs) 01:42, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Parisian becoming Belk???

[edit]

Is Parisian really becoming Belk? If so, then which stores will be converted to Belk? Then what happens if a shopping mall has both a Belk and Parisian? Bucs2004 05:01, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Belk plans to convert all Parisian stores to the Belk's name in the 3rd quarter of 2007. They have not, to my knowledge, made decisions about which stores to close or sell in locations that would have two Belk's. --Dystopos 12:17, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Parisian.PNG

[edit]

Image:Parisian.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:18, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect

[edit]

This should probably redirect to Paris from the adjectival form. A department store in Michigan is pretty low key. Richard001 06:39, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd agree with that, except it wasn't always just in Michigan, but instead was once several stores strong throughout the southeastern United States and a few through the Midwest. The article states this clearly. Still, I understand the argument that perhaps the article referring to the department store may need to be moved to, perhaps, Parisian (department store). — ArkansasTraveler 12:07, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

Page moved. Vegaswikian (talk) 05:24, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

– per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, which requires that it be "highly likely" that someone typing "Parisian" in the search box will be looking for the department store chain. That's just not the case; in fact, it's more likely that they will searching for the term that refers to someone who was born or raised in Paris. A google books or google news search proves this, with none of the first ten hits on either referring to the department stores. Jenks24 (talk) 00:32, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Possible inaccuracies, much needed citations under history…

[edit]

Hi, can someone please properly cite a reliable and legitimate source to this or maybe this should be removed. “Parisian underwent a series of restructurings and mergers during its 130-year history, and was taken over by Proffit's, Inc. in 1996.” I don’t see any citations on this presently or other entries as well.
