Iron Man (pinball)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:NPRODUCT, sources available do not satisfy WP:GNG. Previously a long standing redirect. Would support merge and redirect to suitable target as alternative to deletion. Polyamorph (talk) 19:02, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete not notable and truthfully seems like a WP:PERMASTUB. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 23:03, 30 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep Passes WP:N includes references and secondary sources.  Admittedly still in stub status but more to be developed and part of a large recognizable media franchise.  Expandinglight5 (talk) 23:11, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * The references do not establish notability. Pinside is not a reliable source. Polyamorph (talk) 05:20, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Question which sources? Usedtobecool ☎️ 03:10, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Those provided in the article, and all others available via a search engine came up with sites simply selling the product or unreliable sources. I couldn't find any significant coverage in reliable sources to indicate notability. Polyamorph (talk) 05:20, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * The secondary source, Pinball Compendium ISBN 978-0-7643-4107-6 contains coverage on this and many other pinball machines.  This is a book not a catalog.  If the issue at hand is reliable sources, please tag the article accordingly and I will continue to develop the article.  There are multiple pinball books as well as the IPDB.org.  The article is in stub status at the moment and is a work in progress. Expandinglight5 (talk) 06:06, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Where did I say the pinball compendium was a catalogue? I do not see how a mention in that book among many other machines proves sufficient notability for an independent article here in Wikipedia. Polyamorph (talk) 06:21, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * stub status at the moment and is a work in progress? Eleven years to give an article wings? How is this a work in progress? --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 01:29, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Natg 19 (talk) 00:17, 6 November 2021 (UTC) Passes WP:GNG based on WP:SIGCOV in multiple independent reliable sources.Expandinglight5 (talk) 19:52, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence of RS with SIGCOV has been presented. WP:NOTCATALOGUE. This is a problem with many other pinball articles; on the other hand I'll note that in the past I've seen some pinball articles rescued with some old, poorly digitized articles dug in in newspaper/magazine archives.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:43, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. I was going to suggest moving to 'Iron Man in other media' but i see it is already included there. Having 1 RS and being a stub this is just a content fork. Vanteloop (talk) 16:08, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
