Reviewed as a part of New Page patrol. No indication of wp:notability for a stand-alone article. No wp:notabiliy- suitable sources (actually there are no sources at all) I would have just converted to a redirect but it looks like this has already been done many times before.

 * Redirect - restore redirect to Toys "R" Us, as ATD. But this keeps getting recreated, so an AfD discussion is warranted.  While this is a recognizable advert for those of a certain age in the U.S., there is clearly a dearth of in-depth coverage of this subject so as to establish GNG.

 * Redirect - redirect to Toys "R" Us - no RS in this article at all, nothing to establish notability. Deathlibrarian (talk) 08:54, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment As I noted with the OP, this has been converted back from a redirect to an article several times. I think that having made a trip to AFD and a clear finding that it should not be a separate article (which "convert to redirect" is) will help solidify this for the future. I'd put a note in the article's talk page noting that such has occurred.  All that is needed is a clear cut close to that effect which is where I think this is wp:snow headed. 23:38, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect(restore). Some mascots are notable but whether this one is or not doesn't change the fact that the article fails WP:V. The creator is welcome to try again - but they should not publish unreferenced stubs and then go away. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:55, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect, but first let this run. If a clear consensus (again) emerges for a redirect, protect it to discourage recreation. Geoffrey was notable as it relates to TRU, and I'm definitely a Toys R US kid, but not independently so. Star   Mississippi  19:01, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
