Business that fails WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH. The article contains links and citations, but these discuss aspects of barber shops in general and not the subject business in particular. SamHolt6 (talk) 15:52, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. One article in the Times Union, and not wholly about the shop itself, isn't going to do it. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:07, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

---Added 2 more sources to the original article, and I believe there are a few articles from The Metroland newspaper that ran in Albany for 25 years, though it closed it's doors in the last 2. Looking online for those articles also!---MakeCocktailsNotWar — Preceding unsigned comment added by MakeCocktailsNotWar (talk • contribs) 13:36, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment The article now mentions that it is included in the NRHP-listed Downtown Albany Historic District. Individual contributing buildings in districts sometimes do get separate articles. Unfortunately I can't see the NRHP nomination document for the district right now to see what it says about this building. The NYS historic documents site changed in the last few years, invalidating permalinks from NYS NRHP articles. Per what I myself wrote into wp:NRHPHELP#New York not too long ago, one should be able to search at this search screen to find one's way to the document, but it seems the entire www.oprhp.state.ny.us website is down right now. I suggest/request not closing this AFD too quickly, so that this source can be consulted when the website is back up. --doncram 15:44, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

---Currently in the process of researching older Metroland Articles (a Alternative Newspaper in Albany for 25 years, that closed 2 years ago), and going through their archives (along with the Times Union) to find articles on Patsy's/Executive Cutters and the different owners as the Business is 87 years old (continuously)! Just wanted that to be updated so people knew, just taking time as the archives aren't exactly user friendly online! I have also been looking towards the historic nature that Gene93k mentioned above...----MakeCocktailsNotWar

• Delete - Does not meet WP:GNG. I can find little beyond trade listings and social media. It may have been running a bit longer than most but it has changed ownership and it's not a historic building or anything, it's just a barber's shop. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:38, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

^^^The building is part of the Downtown Historic District of Albany (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downtown_Albany_Historic_District) which includes the buildings on State Street directly near the Capital Building of New York State. Also, despite changing ownership the business has been continuously open for 87 years. I've emailed the NYS NRHP inquiring about the status of the building, along with their broken search feature mentioned by doncram---MakeCocktailsNotWar — Preceding unsigned comment added by MakeCocktailsNotWar (talk • contribs) 21:46, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
