This is an automated edit that hasn't been agreed I'll revert this in due course and any others that affect local sites. There's no attempt to keep information in old_name or disused: name. Sites with signage should still have name, but I'm assuming you haven't bothered to survey them.

Yes, please always discuss this with the relevant local community. In my area we have enough mappers that we like to actually re-survey locations of closed stores.

This edit removed the name from Norwich Toys'R'Us. Have you surveyed it to confirm the sign has been removed? We have a note on the map because the sign is still on the building as far as I know.

The York one got edited incorrectly as well. Please don't just delete stuff where the shop has closed but you don't know the current situation - map it properly as whatever it is now. Some map styles will explicitly show disused shops - see for example https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=18&lat=53.990068&lon=-1.108912 - the Maplins there shut some time ago but is still signed as Maplins. The Toys R Us has had an "old_name" added back after your edit but is still missing a main shop/amenity tag.

Noted a prominent Toys R Us store from the train over the weekend. Someone not knowing the chain was in administration would look for this as a prominent marker.
