Special Beanie Babies

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

No qualification for what makes an individual Beanie Baby "special." Also a vandalism target as people keep adding some unverifiable entry on a mongoose Beanie Baby having a (funny but) "mean poem," for which I've found absolutely no verification. Son of a nutcracker, that "mean poem" for Runner actually exists.

Not to mention that there is only one source on the whole article and a large whack of OR. The few that can be verified (e.g. that super-expensive Peanut the Elephant) can be selectively merged to the main Beanie Baby article, which is itself a mess.

 * I see this one getting some support votes and some delete votes, but I'd go ahead with a "delete". I don't believe it is notable, and not only that, like you said, the article doesn't specifically define what it is about.  Raa  G   gio   (talk)  21:30, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect back to Beanie_Baby, which it apparently spun off from. I am unable to find significant coverage for the term "special beanie baby" which implies there are insufficient reliable independent sources to establish a stand-alone article. - DustFormsWords (talk) 23:17, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect as Dust suggests, for the reasons mentioned by both Dust and the Hammer. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  15:29, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of Ty Beanie Babies per creator's request. I had only intended this to be a temporary page as the merger of several others. All the information can be placed there in a more organized fashion. Xyz7890 (talk) 18:36, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Do you really think "Special Beanie Babies" is a likely search term for a redirect? I doubt anyone would type that in. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 20:20, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * No but if we're going to do a merge it needs to leave a redirect per WP:MAD. - DustFormsWords (talk) 23:14, 13 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment if this is to be merged, it has to be with the edit history preserved, and not a delete and merge, because the edit history is necessary in completing the merge. Xyz7890 (talk) 22:11, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge per above comments. David V Houston (talk) 12:16, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
