Delete One store retailer doesn't seem notable enough. Some info can be moved to ex-parent Pay 'n Save. --Caldorwards4 (talk) 01:20, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ - This is at root a historical piece and should not be judged by the standards we would expect current firms to fulfill. Further: much of the history of this company is pre-internet. ~~That said, here's the SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE on Home Depot's decision to close the Yard Birds division. There are numerous similar stories to be found from various communities.~~ This article needs sourcing, but that's an editing task. Carrite (talk) 13:05, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, my bad, different firm. Carrite (talk) 13:05, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - to Pay 'n Save. Caldorwards4 has made a good call with that advice but should have phrased his opinion as a Merge rather than a Delete. That's a really nice piece, by the way, somebody did good work there. Carrite (talk) 13:09, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

I understand Carrite's reasoning. Ergo, giving this AfD a relist to clarify consensus. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Wifione _.......^{Leave a message} 17:01, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Pay 'n Save. I agree this is useful information, just not notable enough as a stand-alone article. Irolnire (talk) 18:05, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
