not really notable, overly large list and poorly sourced. websites such as webkinzinsider.com already aggregate these lists (on a much more relevant website too), keeping them up to date and Wikipedia probably isn't the best place for a list like this Ed6767 (talk) 02:01, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - In addition, the previous XfD request for this page, all the way back in 2012 resulted in no consensus, however, Imo no real improvement has been seen in the near 8 years since Ed6767 (talk) 02:04, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatives to Deletion Could be merged with the generic Webkinz Wikipedia page, but that would extend the parent page exorbitantly and it makes more sense to keep this as a separate page crazyforcats19 11:50, 5 May 2020 (UTC) 68.57.234.58 (talk • contribs)
DELETE This list does seem rather pointless. Anyone looking for the information would find a superior up to date list with pictures on the official website. http://www.webkinzinsider.com/wiki/Full_List_Of_All_Webkinz_Pets Dream Focus 05:13, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
KEEP While other sources may exist containing of this information, there is nothing wrong with it existing on this page. The specific animals from Webkinz are a significant element of the Webkinz franchise and provide people who prefer to use a common outlet like Wikipedia rather than a specific one dedicated to Webkinz with a way to examine the variety of Webkinz animals the genre is comprised of.— Preceding unsigned comment added by SirGabeAlot (talk • contribs) — SirGabeAlot (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
KEEP This list appears before webkinzinsider when searched on Google and is the premier outlet for the "layperson" unaccustomed to webkinzinsider. Webkinzinsider is well-known for those that have been members of Webkinz for many years but Wikipedia is the better-known accountable source for the average customer, parent, or for those who are simply curious about Webkinz 11:08, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

This list has been around for many years - before updating, it was 10 years out of date, and it was not removed when out of date. With the updates it is much more accurate. Improvements include addition of all released Webkinz within past 10 years. I have also fixed some mistakes that I noted and have added more sources. crazyforcats19 11:50, 5 May 2020 (UTC) 68.57.234.58 (talk • contribs)

Why are you trying to delete this page after it's been made fully functional (which it wasn't before, but it is now), comprehensive, and fully up-to-date? If you were going to delete the page, why couldn't you have done it during any of the 10 years in which the page lay dormant and was outdated? Now it's NOT outdated and there is no reason for it to be deleted. crazyforcats19 0:54, 10 May 2020 (UTC) 68.57.234.58 (talk • contribs)

Delete for the same reasons outlined under Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Beanie Babies. Ajf773 (talk) 06:27, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Ajf773. The WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE and WP:NOTCATALOGUE arguments used in the AFD they mentioned would certainly also apply here. Rorshacma (talk) 01:25, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You can find all the information at https://webkinz.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page and edit there if you are a fan of these things. There are 3,269 articles already. So don't get upset when Wikipedia deletes something because you can easily find it elsewhere, and even better, with pictures. Dream Focus 17:40, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Wikipedia is not a catalogue, but this page is a list of products with no outside commentary or further evidence of notability. BenKuykendall (talk) 04:22, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete “Wikipedia is the top Google hit” is not a good reason to keep a non-notable, unencyclopedic checklist article that is already covered more appropriately elsewhere. Dronebogus (talk) 04:35, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is a poorly sourced list of trivia. Per WP:NOTCATALOG I am not sure that this has encyclopedic value. epicgenius (talk) 17:26, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
