  • Keep Major toy line, quite influential at the time. Plenty of RS'ing for line in parent article Kenner Star Wars action figures, list is complete and substantially not individually notable entries, meeting WP:CSC points 2 and 3. Not likely to attract excessive entries. Why would we actually delete it? "Belongs on Wikia" is not a deletion criteria, and they can choose to have one there if they want one.

  • Lists of toys are excessive details that would be removed from any main article. There is nothing of general encyclopedic value in knowing the production number or in which model line the various toys debuted. That is the level of detail that belongs on a Wikia where such lists are more suited. TTN (talk) 19:36, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Delete - per WP:LISTVERIFY - Stand-alone lists are subject to Wikipedia's content policies and guidelines for articles, including verifiability and citing sources and also per WP:NOR - To demonstrate that you are not adding OR, you must be able to cite reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article, and directly support the material being presented. There are numerous wikilinked articles throughout the list, but none of the articles linked "directly support the material being presented", including Kenner Star Wars action figures.Keep - article now has references and GNG is met.-- Isaidnoway (talk) 16:24, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • It isn't a stand alone article, rather a sub page of that main article, but there are plenty of references out there. I've added three to the article. The collectors' market on these action figures is huge and people drop tens of thousands of dollars on some of these things... there is a lot of material out there about them.

It is an article - Stand-alone lists (also referred to as list articles) are articles composed of one or more embedded lists...Many stand-alone lists identify their content's format in their titles, beginning with descriptors such as "list of" - Being articles, stand-alone lists are subject to Wikipedia's content policies, such as verifiability, no original research, neutral point of view, and what Wikipedia is not, as well as the notability guidelines.
And as you accurately point out - The collectors' market on these action figures is huge and people drop tens of thousands of dollars...So in light of that, collectors that come to Wikipedia to read/research this topic and come across this article should be able to see sources that verify the content. Thanks for adding references.-- Isaidnoway (talk) 20:29, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Needs a lot more work, but thanks. Catfish Jim and the soapdish 21:25, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep #1 the nom didn't provide a reason to delete. #2 there are plenty of sources [4] has a ton of books that appear to discuss the subject (I'm no expert on the different Star Wars action figures...) Hobit (talk) 17:41, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
