The result was no consensus, default to keep since deletion obviously isn't the correct outcome. Whether the article should be merged to Pez is now beyond the remit of AfD. Deryck C. 16:29, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Star Wars Pez

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No assertion of WP:GNG. While cited sources verify the existence of the line, they do not offer significant, focused discussion of impact, relevance, etc. --EEMIV (talk) 16:19, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. There don't seem to be any other Pez product lists on Wikipedia, and absent some verifiable information beyond "this was made" I don't see a reason to have them (a WP:NOTCATALOG issue, perhaps?).  The Star Wars series maybe merit a mention at Pez.  postdlf (talk) 22:55, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:BEFORE - it took me literally two clicks to find two sources: and .  Many pezzes (pezi?) exist, but few end up in museum collections. See also WP:ODD. Bearian (talk) 20:15, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * One fan's amateur museum, with Star Wars Pez being one among 7,600 various items? The Weird Maryland piece might marginally establish the museum's notability, but I didn't even see a mention of pez. The WM book doesn't establish Star Wars pez notability any more than it establishes Star Wars kite, yo-yo, or keychain notability (which are mentioned in the essay). --EEMIV (talk) 21:16, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Please give me some time. I've been adding some other sources, many of them fairly recent news items.  See also WP:HEY. Bearian (talk) 21:31, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talk about my edits? 17:59, 4 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge to Pez. Let us dispense with the notion that we need an article about a particular Pez variation. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:56, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep- there's too much there to merge anywhere, quite frankly. More than enough sourced info to support its own article. Umbralcorax (talk) 23:06, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge per Clarity. Seems an appropriate place to mention it. Maybe a merge to Cultural impact of Star Wars if that article were expanded to have some details on fans who collect items like this.--The Devil&#39;s Advocate (talk) 22:12, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per the major cleanup and sources added by Bearian. Based on the sources added to the article, it appears that the subject has received significant coverage in reliable third party sources and therefore meets the notability guidelines. Alpha_Quadrant    (talk)  03:54, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge individual pez's don't seem notable from the sources; but taken together they are. There is no reason or rationale given for abandoning the long-standing method of grouping pez's. Stuartyeates (talk) 03:48, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * How is this particular set of pez's not notable? The vast majority of the coverage in the article is not about the generic pez, but specifically the Star Wars Pez. Alpha_Quadrant    (talk)  07:26, 12 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep The sources now are enough to establish notability, thanks to User:Bearian's help. -- B  music  ian  14:18, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
