Block-style figures

Fails WP:N. While the term "block-style figure" inarguably exists and is used by collectors, I can't find any evidence that this topic has been discussed in reliable sources. The body of the article, which claims that Lego invented the block-style figure, is likely original research. Pburka (talk) 00:17, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's a thing, and it's a widely used "term of the trade", from what my cursory research indicates. But Wikipedia requires that articles be sourced reliably and with independent information. That doesn't seem possible in this case, as I can't find anything that describes "block-style figures" or "block-style action figures" as a topic in and of itself. Wikipedia, after all, isn't a dictionary. North of Eden (talk) 01:07, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Article does not cite any reliable source to prove the notability. I conducted my own Google search and found no reliable source that significantly discuss the block-style figures. Vanjagenije (talk) 01:40, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
