1/72 Scale Plastic Napoleonic Figures[edit]

A long list that slavishly documents every example of a small subset of Toy soldiers. Few of the companies that produce or produced these things would be notable, and none of the various types of soldier are. The entire list is hopelessly indiscriminate. Reyk _YO! 01:18, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The creator is a new editor but the article has lots of subjective POV and WP:OR. Someone else may have a different list. Artene50 (talk) 02:46, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This list seems to be full of original research and does not suggest why such 1:72 scale plastic toys are notable. Google turns up some results but none are reliable and google news turns up nothing. I think that this article fails general notability criteria. —Atyndall ^{[citation needed]} 04:13, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm pretty sure magazines etc. on wargaming (there are even ones specializing in Napoleonic era) would establish notability for the models. The problem with this article is not notability but rather that it is becoming a POV essay rather than a list or a properly sourced article. Something like this would need VERY strong sourcing indeed to be kept, I feel. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 23:34, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article is sourced, if weakly, and is a discriminate list. No signs of original research, either. Edward321 (talk) 00:02, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete because Wikipedia is not a catalog, the article has original research, and are these things even notable? Tavix (talk) 15:31, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete While the title of Napoleonic figurines might be useful, cataloging to this degree is unnecessary and irrelevant. If someone cares this much about it, they could write it in its own wiki.Brinlong (talk) 20:18, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
