Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of clothing and footwear shops in the United Kingdom
We wouldn't expect a list like this to be complete as that would tend to make it a directory.  Readers will expect a list of the famous and notable cases such as Marks and Spencer and C. & J. Clark|Clarks.  These are best done as a list rather than a category because citations can support the entries, red links can be used for missing entries, images can be added and so forth.  In any case  makes it very clear that we don't delete lists to favour categories
