This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Toys. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Toys|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Toys. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Couldn't find sources, seems to fail WP:NPRODUCT, long time unsourced page. -Samoht27 (talk) 21:23, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Toys-related deletion discussions. -Samoht27 (talk) 21:23, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Article has been improved significantly after nomination. Therefore I changed my voting status. Rahmatula786 (talk) 05:49, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Clearly meets WP:GNG, WP:NPRODUCT, and WP:HEY. Please do read the article now, Tommy Gunn. The article has been expanded, revised, and fully sourced now to books and newspaper articles, including book links listed on the article Talk page by Kvng when the article was de-prodded last year. (Click on the third link, the Action Figures book by Arthur Ward, where you'll see many pages and illustrations of Tommy Gunn action figures; it seems to work better than the link I added to the same book within the article itself in terms of display though your mileage may vary depending on where you are based.) It's good practice to look at the article history before nominating for deletion, as it will help you understand whether the article is lacking sources due to vandalism or something else, or if it has been nominated for deletion previously. When evaluating articles about history, it's also good practice to search for books and other offline sources as part of your WP:BEFORE search. For sure get registered for Wikipedia Library, as you both may be eligible and the Internet Archive is a good resource as well. Requesting reconsideration and withdrawal by nominator and !delete voter, as both of you will have to agree to keep/withdraw before this discussion can be closed early. @Samoht27 and Rahmatula786: Over to you.

• Keep - Article has been significantly improved by Cielquiparle since nomination. Nom's concerns have been addressed. ~Kvng (talk) 14:19, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG seem to be met here. Perhaps if there were fewer sources this would not be notable enough but the sources support it and it is the British version of a GI Joe (likely to be notable). Therefore, I think it should be included, unless I am missing something. Gjb0zWxOb (talk) 13:44, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
