1971 Topps

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Essentially just a list of card sets and types for one year; no notability at all in and of itself, and no real content worth merging to the parent article. Wizardman 05:18, 4 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment - I think this information can best be handled at the decade level. Carrite (talk) 16:30, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep for this particular year only. The 1971 Topps Baseball set is one of the most famous series they had because of their black borders which made those cards fragile, which in turn made the set meet GNG easily. Here here here all reliable hobby sources, tons of books mentions and many more sources could be found just on that particular set. There is only a few Topps baseball card years I would vote keep on 1952 and 1953 Topps, 1963 Topps (both baseball and football), 1967 Topps and this one. There's a few others that might be worth individual articles depending on GNG, including 1954 and 1955, 1959, 1968, and 1975 Topps baseball, and 1957-58 Topps basketball, and everything else pre 1980s should be merged and post 80s Topps probably delete. Needs needs rewritting, and the content about the other sports sets needs to me removed or merged somewhere as they aren't notable let me see what can I do. Secret account 00:12, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I suspect that the 1973 baseball set would have adequate sources to meet GNG (although some ma e hard to find now) as the first set in which Topps made the whole set available right from the start of the season, rather than in series. I found this article quickly on line, but I remember magazine articles about this when I was a kid.  The 1972 baseball set may also have adequate sourcing available.

 * Keep seems to be notable to me. Automatic Strikeout  ( T  •  C ) 00:24, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge into new article - I agree with Carrite; this can probably be handled at the decade level, but if not merge, then probably keep Go   Phightins  !  00:36, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
