Starbucks collectibles

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article does not currently cite any reliable sources and I am unable to find any coverage myself. WP:GNG does not appear to be met. SmartSE (talk) 09:47, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - if I could find the slightest indication that this term was notable, I'd have argued for a merge, but I cannot. A google search turns up precisely nothing, and all of the sources in the article seem to be aimed at proving that people do in fact collect Starbucks merch and that a secondary market exists (hardly surprising - people will collect anything) but do nothing to show that the term, concept, or existence of that secondary market is notable. So, agree with nom that this fails WP:GNG, insufficient sourced content for a merge. A case could be made for a redirect, but the obvious redirect target of Starbucks was itself only added today, and seemingly only in a rather misguided effort to de-orphan this article. Since that section is itself extremely poorly sourced (an unreliable website, and an article that is actually about the Starbucks card and not the concept of collectibles as a whole) it should be removed. Hence, I see no value in a redirect either. Hugsyrup 11:00, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Obviously not a notable product and the article is promotional. Trillfendi (talk) 17:39, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Hugsyrup summarized very well above. I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria for notability, fails GNG and WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 17:52, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete as trivial and independent sources. But I'll change my !vote if my Starbucks card suddenly has 4,500 points miraculously added to it. /snark Bearian (talk) 15:17, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete material which does not really belong in an encyclopedia and is WP:PROMOTION. No WP:RS. Wm335td (talk) 19:41, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
