I prodded this with "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (sport) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar.". All this has going for it is that one semi-academic article (see TDR (journal): "TDR is not peer-reviewed, a fact that has been somewhat controversial") did mention it in one sentence ("They were some of the icons of the Monster Truck world-Big Foot, Towasaurus, Predator, American Guardian..").This is, however, a passing mention, and meets 'trivial' coverage example as shown in WP:SIGCOV. At best, this could merit adding a sentence to to the Monster Truck articles, saying that 'so and so called the following trucks iconic', but nothing I see seems to warrant keeping this as a dedicated article. Thoughts? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:03, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: My thoughts? That I could call my cat "iconic," but that doesn't mean jack, and certainly doesn't qualify her for a Wikipedia article. I agree with the nom's reasoning altogether. Ravenswing 09:00, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Surely we don't need articles on every monster truck. An expanded version of List of monster trucks should cover it. Nigej (talk) 19:58, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
