I know a similar article was created before and deleted in 2006 due to notability concerns. However, this is a notable business. I believe I have established as much with the substantial awards section, which demonstrates the store's national, state, and local recognition. I intend to add more about its role as a major stop on book tours by expanding the list of notable authors who have passed through the store. I also intend to add awards and honors the store or Coady have won which are cited in multiple sources (e.g. "Connecticut Retailers Award for Community Commitment", "New Haven Business Small Business Award", White House Conference on Small Business delegate) but which I have yet to find satisfactory definitive sourcing for.
I think this article should be ready for prime time now. Obviously, as with the rest of Wikipedia, it's due for continuous improvement, but I think that this is a notable business, and that I've laid out the case for this in the article itself. Jbbdude (talk) 00:29, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
