Disney-Pixar Cars Die-Cast Line

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unnotable series of die cast cars. Fails WP:N, WP:PRODUCT, and WP:NOTCATALOG. The article is little more than a fan checklist for the cars, and completely unsourced (and unsourcable) except to other fansites. The toy line has not received significant coverage in any reliable, third-party sources. At best, a 1-2 sentence mention in the Cars article is all this topic needs.

I am also nominating the following related pages for all of the same reasons, it is another similar list of plastic instead of die cast cars:

*Keep. Page does not violate any part of WP:NOTCATALOG: It is not a "list of loosely associated topics". It is not a "genealogical" or "phonebook" entry. It is not meant for "conducting business". It is not a "sales catalog" or "price guide". It is not a "cross categorization". - RaptorWiki (talk) 04:21, 28 December 2008 (UTC) — RaptorWiki (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. - - This was explained that it is because I have no time to edit other articles, and because I am knowledgeable on this subject. - RaptorWiki (talk) 18:06, 29 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Agree with original poster. Fails WP:N- A casual search for press releases on Mattel's press release website returns 44 results (ranging through at least 2002 that I saw) that refer to "Pixar", "Disney", or a combination of the two. Not one of those mentions "diecast". Similarly, no Google News articles for "mattel pixar diecast" beyond the Sarge recall (already covered in Cars. SpikeJones (talk) 07:38, 28 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. Agree with User:RaptorWiki. Article is not just a fan checklist, it is a well appreciated Wikipedia article. Lightning Storm McQueen (talk) 13:31, 29 December 2008 (UTC) — Lightning Storm McQueen (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete - Existance is not notability. Yes, they exist. However, independent reliable sources have not seen fit to provied the level of coverage needed for an article here. - SummerPhD (talk) 13:44, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep This article does not just represent a fan checklist. It (The Diecast line) in a very popular series in stores.  Hot Wheels, Matchbox, and most other product lines have a page here.  Why should this line not have one?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.82.173.104 (talk) 14:46, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Possible IP editing by, who vandalized this AfD and went on a personal attack spree around here, the article talk pages, and on his own talk page. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 15:26, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Speculation and extremely unlikely considering the IP address of 68.82.173.104 routes to Delaware, while 's last known IP of 67.150.142.244 routes to California, with only a few hours between posts. - RaptorWiki (talk) 18:21, 29 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - If it is a "very popular series" or not is immaterial. It does not have significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. Hot Wheels, Matchbox, etc. do. - SummerPhD (talk) 19:50, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - I have flagged as having an apparent COI on this article. - SummerPhD (talk) 21:22, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I concur that the article does not meet WP:N. There are simply not enough third party sources out there presently.  Perhaps in the future.  However I do disagree with the reasoning of failure to meet WP:NOTCATALOG.  I also believe that it fails WP:PRODUCT, but only as a result of failing WP:N, which is a criterion for WP:PRODUCT. - RaptorWiki (talk) 21:59, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Fancruft without reliable sources. Duplicates content better served at a fan site. &#151;Whoville (talk) 11:33, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
