Flashflight
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

Well, over a decade later and this page has not improved in a single way. It's still spammy advertising of one brand of a non-notable, non-unique toy. Original AfD closed as "no consensus". There may be room for a section on light-up discs at Flying disc; but even so, this would not be the sole entry there (nor was it the first such product). There's just nothing notable about this. When I Google this, I see the company's own marketing, third-party sales at shopping sites, trivial reviews at non-independent sites (toy/game review sites that make all their money off advertising what they're reviewing), and trivial coverage in mainstream news sources (lists of toys, lists of outdoor games, etc.), and other dreck. No one considers this company or its product to be particularly important. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  03:07, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * PS: See also Talk:Flashflight, User talk:Playhard, and User talk:SMcCandlish/Archive 42. Short version: creator of page claims to be the owner of the company that makes this product (WP:COI), and also appears to have made a legal threat (or a threat to make a legal threat: "My legal [counsel] is sending a cease and desist [letter] where it pertains to the use of our Trade Name") pertaining to Ultimate (sport). What else this WP:SPA may have been up to could bear some scrutiny, at least as it pertains to flying-disc games.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  03:27, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Toy that came out in 2006, per the citations, that I've yet to hear about. Overly promotional piece of fluff. Oaktree b (talk) 15:38, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
