Comment: In order for a topic to meet the criteria for establishing notability, there must be two references that are published in reliable sources and which are intellectually independent (as per  and . Of the 5 references posted above by Patar above, at least two meet these criteria. https://torontoist.com/2014/01/book-city-closes-a-chapter/ The torontoist.com article, while relying on some quotes from the owner in relation to the announcement on shutting down, also provides a history of the store with plenty of independent analysis and commentary. This one meets the criteria for establishing notability. In my opinion, https://nowtoronto.com/news/book-city-memoir/ this nowtoronto.com reference also meets the criteria. Even though it is full of quotations from various former employees, they are not current employees spouting the latest marketing department-produced soundbite but are voicing their own independent opinions. Finally, I also believe that https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/2014/03/22/toronto_book_lovers_mourn_loss_of_three_stores.html this thestar.com reference also meets the criteria
