AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The only reference is a forum post, and all the links in the article are to sites that sell these things. Not notable enough for inclusion, and borderline advertising Patton t / c 13:21, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete': I can't find significant coverage for this game. Joe Chill (talk) 20:38, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Deleting this page leaves the job half done. If you want to tidy up the coverage of the Axis & Allies Miniatures pages, please do the whole job. I've started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Board and table games. Fences  &amp;  Windows  02:01, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - Well written, comprehensive reference. --AStanhope (talk) 03:14, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I've been criticized for voting keep here. I didn't realize that the Wikipedia Deletionist pathology has extended to bullying people who vote to keep articles now.  Regardless, the criticism misread my comment "comprehensive reference" to mean that I thought the article was well referenced (cited).  This is not what I meant by "comprehensive reference."  The article itself is a "comprehensive reference" for the topic at hand.  It exists, it collates a great deal of disparate information, it is structured properly and it represents significant editing time.  If I happened to be someone who was interested in "Axis and Allies Miniatures," surely I would be pleased that this article exists as a COMPREHENSIVE REFERENCE.  These are all perfectly valid reasons in of themselves to keep an article.  See Jimbo Wales:  --AStanhope (talk) 13:06, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm only a deletionist in that I'm not an inclusionist, and this isn't intended as bullying. 1) Jimbo is subordinate to policy and guideline, and 2) a throwaway comment by Jimbo is definitely subordinate. The base problem with this article is that it fails to pass WP:GNG, and your comments and actions do nothing to address this, instead just helpfully saying how useful the article is.

 * Delete, fails WP:GNG. Ironholds (talk) 03:41, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, per Astanhope--UltraMagnus (talk) 16:10, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Lack of reliable sources for references, and is also essentially a gameguide in the manner it lists every possible unit. Seems like somerthing that should be on the official A&A website - and probably is. Skinny87 (talk) 17:04, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: as per Astanhope - Ret.Prof (talk) 23:42, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
