List of merchandise from Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This goes waaay too far into advert land. Perhaps some of the content could go into other articles, but to have an article whose sole purpose is to list all the non-notable merchandise associated with the show... no.  Ja Ga  talk 07:21, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete There are many reasons to edit this article: The list of merchandise is larger than the article on the subject matter.  The only citation for the merchandise is an Amazon link, which isn't independent from the subject matter since they are profiting from it.  There are indications in the article why the merchandise itself is notable.  At the end, it would take a fundamental rewrite, and afterward, you would still be left with an article that is more ad than info, with no rationale for including.  A list of products being pushed into the eyeballs of children is not inherently notable, and certainly not without coverage from INDEPENDENT sources.  Rather than bludgeon the point, suffice it to say that there just isn't any encyclopedic value to a list of stuff for sale if that is all the article can ever be, like this one.

 * Delete Wikipedia is not a sales catalog, directory, or advertising platform. see WP:NOT Dzlife (talk) 17:41, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Many articles suggested for deletion here as a promotional sales catalog are actually  suitable descriptive articles, or capable at least of being editing into such articles,  but this is a good example of what is outside any reasonable boundary for inclusion in an  encyclopedia, and almost certainly not capable of being improved sufficiently.
