 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment appears to be part of the early history of Games Workshop, and so if the article cannot be improved should probably be merged there or to Bryan Ansell. I also not that there's an awful lot of unsourced material thats resently been blanked from the page - if that could be sourced and brought up to standard that might be a basis for keeping the article.

 * Delete as my searches also found nothing better. SwisterTwister   talk  04:58, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge to Games Workshop per Artw. BOZ (talk) 11:28, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * selective merge to Games Workshop, Bryan Ansell per Artw. Redirect is perfectly reasonable and a sentence or three should probably move over.  Not leaving a redirect for a 10-year old article is unwise.  Hobit (talk) 16:59, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * On yet further reading, I'm 99% sure there will be some 10-20 year old RSes out there that aren't on line. I'll ask around. Hobit (talk) 17:10, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * No luck so far... Hobit (talk) 21:50, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I've looked through my magazine archive from those days and either the 1976-77 dates are total red herrings, or else the corporation existed but did not market their products to the general public. Bryan Ansell's corporation in 1976-77 was Asgard Miniatures, who don't have an article yet, although I found enough decent sources that I'm thinking of composing one.  It's possible that Wargames Foundry were selling directly to Citadel Miniatures, who were based in Newark at the time which is just up the road from Wargames Foundry's address.  I don't think they were a public-facing company in their own right.  I'd describe the claims in the article as plausible but not sourceable. Unless Hobit's researches pull out a RS I don't know about, I think I'm going to have to go with delete.  I can also see the argument for a smerge to Bryan Ansell and I would not oppose this outcome; all we'd really be able to merge is a brief mention so the difference between smerge and delete in this case does not amount to much.— S Marshall  T/C 13:56, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
