"The Biggest Toy Store"
Please note Jonel's comment below. A merge requires the edit history to be saved per GFDL. This should NOT be deleted but redirected as the final part of the merge. Mgm|(talk) 10:04, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

I've merged the minimal content into the Toys R Us article. There's hardly anything here and it doesn't merit its own article.  Barfooz  (talk)  01:23, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete not worth an article, hardly even worth a subtopic in Toys R Us (Comment by Jtkiefer 01:24, 6 Jun 2005)
 * Speedy delete. Gamaliel 01:31, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Personally I wish the speedy delete criteria were relaxed a little. However, it's clearly not malicious in intent or content-free. It's just misplaced and doesn't require an article. -- Barfooz  (talk)  01:43, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Part of Toys R Us DirectorStratton 01:47, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and write a small blurb or something in Toys R Us about how the biggest toy store int he world is the Manhattan branch of Toys R Us. -CunningLinguist 02:04, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Done - Barfooz  (talk)  02:13, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - Next time you merge an article's content into another article, please redirect to whatever page to which you merged the unwanted article rather than putting it on VfD. Once you've merged it, the GFDL requires that we keep the page's history, and therefore deleting the page (which takes the history with it) is not a valid option. -- Jonel 02:52, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * What should the redirect be renamed to, then? Obviously, "The Biggest Toy Store" is not a good option. Largest toy store maybe? -- Barfooz  (talk)  03:40, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Jonel is correct. Redirect, alrhough a rename per Barfooz, might be smart idea to do first. Mgm|(talk) 10:02, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete minimal content already merged. JamesBurns 10:33, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge content (which someone already did) and redirect. The "Biggest Toy Store" is a slogan for the company and noting that somewhere on the Toys R Us page should explain that.--Mitsukai 16:40, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Basically an ad. ShureMicGuy 19:04, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Account created today, all edits are to VfD. RickK 23:01, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Good idea but defintely misplaced, which seems to have been dealt with accordingly.Not encyclopediac in the way it was used.Jan Bei 1:40, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect Set it to redirect to Toys R Us page. --michael180 14:47, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and do not redirect. Having that manner of redirect would essentially be putting a pro-Toys R Us POV in the title structure of Wikipedia.  Also, if it were to be renamed to be something like "Manhattan branch of toys-r-us", would that then mandate us to create articles like "Calgary westhills branch of ATB" or something similar?

 * Having a company's slogan redirect to the company is hardly POV. -- Jonel 19:46, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Obvious ad. Doesn't make sense at all. It is the largest in size, largest in merchandise, largest in number of shoppers? Where is the link to the source of the research that determined the fact in question? Gbeeker 18:48, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Obvious brag. Could be an article under `Worlds largest toy store`, but that would have to contain `largest` by size, products etc, history of who has been largest etc.. This article as it is, when the info is added to `ToysRsUs`, must be deleted.
 * Speedy delete as vanity ad and hoax. --SuperDude 17:18, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
