Welly (toy company)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I have checked several times for sources on this company, but can only find directory listings and sites selling their products. The article has never had any independent sources about the company, and I cannot rectify that. Guy (Help!) 11:17, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment I have found and added three sources about Welly diecast cars, and I expect that there are more offline - I think it would be easy to show that they are notable. Perhaps the article could be renamed Welly (diecast cars)? RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:57, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep If independent sources are available, the article can stay.TH1980 (talk) 02:14, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Response Hi, as a statement, your !vote above is mostly correct. But as reasoning to register a Keep !vote, the closer would probably ignore. Can you point to specific sources that you believe meet the criteria in WP:NCORP, especially WP:ORGIND and WP:CORPDEPTH? Thank you.  HighKing++ 15:14, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Right. The three sources above are a blog and two directories. Guy (Help!) 16:06, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 * My "keep" vote was a qualified one: if proper sourcing can be found, the article can be kept. Hence, I changed my vote to "weak keep." TH1980 (talk) 23:28, 18 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete I am unable to locate at least two references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. There does appear to be one book reference (pg 185) and perhaps there are others in other languages but, as I said, I can't find anything else. As such, topic fails WP:NCORP and GNG. I'm happy to change my !vote if another reference that meets the criteria can be located.  HighKing++ 14:42, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete on account of subject failing WP:NCORP. -The Gnome (talk) 09:28, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
