How the hell are any of these notable? ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 21:26, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There was an AFD for lists of store locations back in 2007, where the consensus was that articles about retail chains don't need tables of every single store, based on Wikipedia is not a directory, but prosifying is better, least for notable ones. For example, this article doesn't need a table of every distribution center. Maybe the first one, and every notable one after that, as part of its history, but in prose form. This article is not a facsimile of Target's corporate website. Tuxide (talk) 02:15, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On the topic of AED's in stores

I can confirm that Target stores have started to have AED's available for emergency. However, I know this because I work here, and am unable to find online sources about it. Etleyden (talk) 21:10, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No truth to May 2023 "threats"

Section has been added claiming, without evidence, that there have been threats to Target employees and stores in the May 2023 Transgender merchandise/grooming boycott. AP falsely reported this without evidence and Target has not responded with any specific or documented evidence of threats. This is biased against conservatives and the boycott effort. It should not be placed as a fact until evidence has been shown.
