:I've added a new table at the bottom of the page, with a notes section, and a caption under the image.--[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] 02:17, March 12, 2010 (UTC) | :I've added a new table at the bottom of the page, with a notes section, and a caption under the image.--[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] 02:17, March 12, 2010 (UTC) | ||
Just to clarify, whether businesses deserve their own article depends on whether '''a)''' people care & will look for information specifically on this, '''b)''' whether there is more than 1 sentence worth of relevant information, '''c)''' whether it will be linked to from many different places. If the answer to those is yes, then you can make a page. If the answer is no, then you might as well put the information into the tables of businesses in city/game/era. A-Dust is right in saying that we should try to be inclusionist and hold as much information as we can. However, if we had a page for every single building in every single game, it would be impossible to manage and maintain. I think there should be a difference between businesses that do things ingame (such as media companies or pay'n'spray), enterable shops ([[24-7]]), mentioned/advertised companies (such as [[Sprunk]]), and dud shopfronts that are nothing more than a photo ([[1 Hour Photo]]). I don't think the dud shopfronts deserve articles, and they are better off going into a table, since there is only 1 sentence of information we could ever write (games, locations, photo). Having 1000s of articles about them that are never used or looked at makes managing them a lot harder, and makes vandalism/errors much harder to find. We can still have all the same information, but put it into one page instead. No?

That's what I'm working on. I was putting putting the information of businesses that are already made into a table like you recommended a while back. It does look better than all of the individual articles.--[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] 19:43, March 14, 2010 (UTC) | That's what I'm working on.
