Very large article, guess I'm going to review this. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 12:19, 4 September 2024 (UTC) By looking at this, this is a drive-by nom, did you get consensus from Epicgenius?

@TheNuggeteer, thanks for taking up the review. It's a self-drive-by nomination, for the avoidance of doubt. I nominated this article a few days after creating it (i even double checked to see if this wasn't accidentally nominated by someone else). Epicgenius (talk) 12:43, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Oh, came here from WP:GARC, thought Rollinginhisgrave was the nom, really sorry! 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 12:47, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Due to Rollinginhisgrave rejecting his review, I'm giving him this review if he agrees, just want to notify you. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 00:16, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

@TheNuggeteer, that sounds good. Thanks for the heads up. – Epicgenius (talk) 02:52, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Criteria 1

• Is the word 'women' supposed to be capitalized? (lead)
  • I'm not entirely sure. It's not technically a proper name; "women's store" is more of a descriptor. Epicgenius (talk) 13:32, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

I'll review this. It's been a bit over a month since I've reviewed one of yours, and although my plan to get some variety in reviewers has fallen through in this case, I'm happy to review this over the next few days. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 03:57, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
