WWE Figures

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Sufficient mention of these products is made at World Wrestling Entertainment. Doesn't merit a separate page. Taroaldo (talk) 21:46, 11 March 2009 (UTC) 
 * Merge and redirect While this should definitely mentioned in context, the coverage in the main article is not sufficient as claimed by the nominator. The separate article mentions additional information like years and other companies that had or will have the contract to produce these figures. Deleting the page would result in loss of information. - Mgm|(talk) 11:02, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Wait, what? The figure line that put JAKKS Pacific on the map? The toy line that was the subject of an infamous lawsuit about how JAKKS Pacific acquired the rights and collusion between WWE licensors? One of the most successful boys toys lines in the last decade? Strong keep. This subject has featured article potential. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire - past ops) 16:01, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sources with potential: this, this, this, this if we're calling Motley Fool a reliable source, and any of the toy industry journals (which I only ever had access to by nosing my employer's collection in a former job). - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire - past ops) 16:15, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:01, 16 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge to new #Merchandise section of World Wrestling Entertainment. -Drdisque (talk) 02:34, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep notable toy line which even had a notable technological innovation (though it isn't mentioned in the article) by using 3D body scans of the wrestlers themselves to produce extremely accurate likenesses. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:42, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Starblind with a hope that the article will undergo a major expansion and revision.  young  american  (wtf?) 15:38, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
