• Keep per WP:NEXIST there is [https://archive.triblive.com/business/local-stories/s-w-randall-toyes-giftes-of-pittsburghs-owner-finds-joy-in-toys/ RS available] even if not in the article. Lightburst (talk) 02:44, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

::update: I have begun improving the article and adding RS etc. Lightburst (talk) 19:48, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

• Comment: The article was created by a likely sockpuppet. If deleted, please salt as they will try to recreate. (If Lightburst improves the article to justify a keep, then obviously I'm okay with that.) Pi.1415926535 (talk) 23:33, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
• Name change The actual name has a different spelling of the word "Gifts". So if this article is kept we will need a page move to the title: S.W Randall Toyes & Giftes Lightburst (talk) 14:30, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

::I boldy renamed - the missing "." after the W was typo from the original creator; the "and" is more common and official than "&"; the spelling of "toyes" and "giftes" is a recent style (ironically). For most of the shop's existence it was "toys and gifts" (which yields new search results), but since the website is using the stylized I didn't change the spelling. -- GreenC 13:47, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

• Keep Meets WP:GNG. Notable enough. A Pittsburgh landmark and a really neat store that I would like to visit. {{cite web |url=https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/pennsylvania/pittsburgh/oldest-toy-store-pgh/ |title=Pittsburgh’s Oldest Toy Store Will Make You Feel Like A Kid Again |publisher=onlyinyourstate.com |accessdate=March 5, 2020}} Not the article it was when proposed for deletion. Now meets WP:HEY; Q.E.D., no compliance with WP:Before. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:43, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

:Comment On the bright and constructive side, this AFD by User:Meatsgains got the article to vastly improve to where it is now. And proving the worth of WP:ARS. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:10, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

• Keep - reasonably expanded with reliable sources. Cards84664 19:19, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
• Weak Keep - It seems like most of the claim to notability thus far has to do with local sources and the claim that it's Pittsburgh's oldest toy store, the significance of which is rather undercut by it dating back only to 1970. Regardless, there's enough coverage that I'm on the edge. That folks are actively engaged with improving the article and finding more sources is reassuring enough to push me to the other side per WP:HEY, etc. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 23:42, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
• Keep based on the massive improvements made to this article. Dream Focus 03:22, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

• Comment - Woah! This article has improved tenfold. I will withdraw my nomination. Great work folks. Meatsgains^(talk) 00:44, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
