I haven't had a chance to fill in more of the page yet. I only created it today. This new page was needed because both pages for "Galeria Kaufhof" and "Karstadt" still presented them as current, operating companies. I changed those two pages to the past tense, but the new company that resulted from their merger, "Galeria Karstadt Kaufhof," still needed its own page. I linked to the German page for "Galeria Karstadt Kaufhof" on the side, where it says "Languages." That page is filled with detailed information and sources. I brought oevr the opening paragraph and translated it. I just didn't have time to bring all that additional information over and translate it into English.

Keep there's no reasonable case that this fails WP:NCOMPANY. There's extensive coverage of the firm in Der Spiegel [1]. It gets covered in major German newspapers like Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung e.g. "Galeria will aufholen"[2]. It's been covered in English by Bloomberg, Deutsche Welle, the Financial Times, and Women's Wear Daily[3]. Jahaza (talk) 06:51, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is one of the best known chains of department stores in Germany with a turnover of nearly 5 billion euros. Just take a look at the German Wiki article and you'll see it has extensive coverage. It just needs expanding. Bermicourt (talk) 07:45, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - a lack of sources in the article is not the same as a lack of sources about the subject. A quick search would have shown there to be lots of coverage about this company, as noted above and as seen in the improvements to the article. -- Whpq (talk) 11:58, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is a major company in Germany. It even has its own category at RND [4]https://www.rnd.de/themen/kaufhof/ WatkynBassett (talk) 19:50, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There is enough coverage about company significantly that shows notability. Ginbopewz (talk) 11:39, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
