Despite my profound professional interest in this topic, this still reeks of original research and synthesis, draws very heavily on a handful of non-encyclopedic articles, and generally has no place here. Orange Mike | Talk 01:11, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

• Keep I'm surprising myself, but yeah, this is a notable topic as shown by stories in the NYT and other major sources. The stories were about the general topic, not just individual cases. Borock (talk) 04:18, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
• Keep. Seeing significant RS coverage, more than sufficient to pass WP:GNG. See [https://books.google.com/books?id=EchKhEduEBwC&pg=PT57&lpg=PT57&dq=Book+store+shoplifting&source=bl&ots=wGSCzvO8nX&sig=E-C5TkIbv5xR3af-QMB2M9Ym7f4&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CD4Q6AEwBTgUahUKEwj07IurzJnHAhXJGZIKHf8ADjE#v=onepage&q=Book%20store%20shoplifting&f=false][http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/07/05/shoplifting-books-we-ll-miss-what-stealing-books-says-about-us-by-rachel-shteir.html][http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/20/books/review/Rabb-t.html?_r=0].

Delete Why there is an entire article dedicated to shoplifting of books baffles me. If this is fair to exist so shall shoplifting of every kind of store. Theres no place for an article like this for the sake of an encyclopedia. NewJibaJabba (talk) 03:29, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

::{{replyto|NewJibaJabba}} Your point is well taken. But as goofy as this topic may be, it has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. This is enough to merit an article. North of Eden (talk) 01:53, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

• Keep - covered enough to pass GNG,--BabbaQ (talk) 17:20, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
• Keep Easily meets WP:GNG, multiple reliable sources in article, UScentric nature of article could be improved upon (although a quick search does not bring up much from elsewhere). Coolabahapple (talk) 02:58, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
