Talk:Radio Flyer

(company)
Is that necessary? Doesn't the company have precedence over a film that takes its title from the company? Just some thoughts.

 * Yeah, I find the disambiguation page to be unnecessary. Radio Flyer should link directly to the article on the company, with a disambiguation link to the movie at the top of the company page. --Aaron Walden [[Image:Tsalagisigline.gif]] 06:50, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

As per the above discussion, I think that this article should be moved to Radio Flyer: Oldiesmann (talk) 23:27, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) The company has been around 75 years longer than the movie.
 * 2) The company is by far more well-known than the movie
 * 3) There is already a disambiguation link at the top of this article pointing people to the page on the film
 * Weak Oppose. I'm not convinced that there is a primary usage.  So since the current setup does not break anything, leaving it along is OK. Vegaswikian (talk) 07:20, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. Just because you make a movie about something doesn't give you the right to the name. It would be like changing the name of Niagara Falls to Niagara Falls (falls) just because someone made a movie about the falls. 199.125.109.78 (talk) 04:54, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. This article existed before the movie. Therefore when the movie article was split off a disambiguation page was not needed, only an "otheruse" template at the top of the page. According to Radio Flyer (film) the movie only made $4.6m so was not particularly significant. I would say that a still-going company is the primary usage ahead of a fifteen year old box office failure (even one with big stars in it). Zuiver jo (talk) 22:04, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment the Radio Flyer red wagon is by far the most likely usage, so neither the company nor the film is primary. 70.51.9.57 (talk) 05:10, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

#18 production
I just removed the following sentence from the article: "While there have been dozens of different versions over the years, the '#18 Classic Red Wagon' with which the company is forever associated has been in continuous production for more than 70 years." A sourced sentence along these lines would be good, but the company did not make wagons 1942–1945, so the present form is wrong as well as being uncited.

Manufacturing locale
As a new editor just pointed out, the toys are now (some/all?) manufactured in China. There were a few news articles at the time discussing Radio Flyer as a great American company betraying its founding principles / forced to offshore by burdensome regulation / whatever. We should have a paragraph on that, probably under #History. Anyone else should feel free to write it, as I am unlikely to find the time in the near term.
