Given that this is the third nomination since December 2012 and citations have been a consistent problem historically (although mostly [citation needed]), it is a bit surprising that a basic problem like this persists.--

Note that when this was delisted and GA1 there were complaints that the
WP:LEAD was too short. The lead is currently 2248 characters. A full-size LEAD is 3000 characters and this article is plenty long enougn to justify a full-size LEAD.--

"Unlike many other retailers, Wal-Mart does not charge a slotting fee to suppliers for their products to appear in the store.[148] Instead, it focuses on selling more popular products and provides incentives for store managers to drop unpopular products, as well as asking manufacturers to supply more popular products" I don't understand this. Walmart asks manufacturers to supply more popular products. However, Walmart seems to pay less for its inventory. If I have some new craze good (think Cabbage Patch dolls, Beanie babies, Tickle Me Elmo), and I know I will sell out of it wherever I ship it why would I send shipments to Walmart who is paying less than other stores if they are just asking me for supply. If we haven't committed to paying for shelf space, how does this work?--

I have completed my review. I am failing this nomination. If the nominator did not take the time to address the concerns of the prior reviews, I doubt that this extensive list would be addressed. I am not averse to evaluating attempted responses to the concerns above. I could be convinced to reopen the review, but I see little chance that things that have gone this many reviews without being addressed are going to be addressed now.--
