Merchants outside the U.S. also "commercialise" holidays

Additionally, this Wikipedia entry is not the place to denigrate American department stores, specifically; the way this was done in the cited source (if what seems to be a Wikipedia editor's rephrasing of this source is any indication) was highly theoretical, emotional, vague, and practically meaningless. Its poor quality aside, that content is not 'on topic' enough to warrant inclusion in this entry.

If you insist on leaving this section in the otherwise encyclopedic entry, we're going to have to expand its scope beyond just the United States. SteGenevieve (talk) 02:24, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Given that you are apparently aware that merchants outside the U.S. also "commercialise" holidays, can you provide a source? HiLo48 (talk) 02:37, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
