 * 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)


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


 * 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)


 * 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)

 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)
