Timberwolf (color)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable shade of crayola. Prod contested with "Other animals have their own colors". bobrayner (talk) 20:47, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I have to agree that this doesn't need its own page. Most of the stuff on the page is about wolves and is probably duplicated from other articles. Brianyoumans (talk) 21:09, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete – He didn't even spell it like in the so-called "source". Dicklyon (talk) 00:01, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * comment &mdash; as a wise man once said, everything looks worse in black and white &mdash; perhaps we need to preserve a gray area. &mdash; alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 06:20, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, and now that they've taken our Kodachrome away, it's especially a problem. Dicklyon (talk) 06:54, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete A proprietary term for the colour of a crayon, with no evidence at all of any other use. Not remotely notable. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:23, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I have attempted to search for any reliable source coverage for this commercial term, and have not had any luck. This fails WP:GNG.  ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 15:14, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete all. Color names are chosen arbitrarily and different at each paint manufacturer. There is no standard on what each color should be named (if anything, colors are defined by a Pantone number). Moreover, some of these color articles have no content other than a weak dicdef (WP:NOTDIC). Mention at X11 color names is sufficient or the articles on the primary colors could have a list of common names of some shades of that color. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 13:24, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
