Matchbox Sky Busters

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability_(organizations_and_companies) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. Given the lack of references for most content, there is little content to merge although a redirect to Matchbox (brand) may be helpful. The PROD was removed with no valid rationale despite my request to provide one (per best practices) by a habitual deprodder, so here we go.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Oppose but not voting for a keep either. All the information there should be kept, so I vote to merge to the Matchbox brand article and keep this page as a re-direct. Antonio Pizza Face Martin (que fue/) 09:10, 23 October, 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep The topic is covered in sources such as Matchbox Toys: A Collectors Guide, Matchbox Toys, 1947 to 1996 and Die-cast Aircraft. The nomination's assertions are therefore false.  The worst case would be merger to a page such as Matchbox_(brand) and so the following policies indicate that deletion is not appropriate.  WP:ATD; WP:IMPERFECT; WP:NEXIST; WP:NOTPAPER; WP:PRESERVE.

 * All those seem to be pure descriptive catalogues. See for example this page. Did you find anything that goes beyond what is effectively a product description? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:44, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Weak keep or merge? I'm on the fence between keep and merge, but the 10 pages in Die-cast Aircraft definitely suggests one of the WP:ATD alternatives is more appropriate than deletion.  What I can see of the others is pretty inconclusive in my eyes, but one looks like it might have a chapter, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. -2pou (talk) 23:01, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The 10 pages sounds good, but the few pages I can access are badly formatted - big photo and one-two sentences of product description, no analysis, no significance, just a catalogue-like entry. Are you seeing anything better? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:45, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
