Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Air Hogs Stormlauncher

:The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Air Hogs. Insufficient consensus to either delete outright or merge, but most agree this should not be a standalone article, and unsourced content should not be merged, as Stifle correctly notes. Redirecting is, therefore, the outcome most agreeable to this discussion. But if sources are provided, merging can also occur later from the history.  Sandstein  17:01, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, this an un-notable toy. It even says in the article that it was only made in small numbers. It's unreferenced, and despite a search for some, I can't find any significant coverage in reliable sources. It also reads like an advert, which is usually something I'm inclined to fix through editing, but what's the point when the thing isn't notable?

  • Delete Merge: For reasons given by nominator. There is a link to this page from the Air Hogs page, but it could just as well point to the article in the RC wikia [http://radiocontrol.wikia.com/wiki/Air_Hogs_Stormlauncher] which duplicates this article.--RDBury (talk) 03:37, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

::(Changing action) Given the additional references given below, it does seem that the product merits inclusion in WP. But, per WP:PRODUCT guidelines, it should be a section in the Air Hogs article.--RDBury (talk) 12:25, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

:Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

  • Possible Keep The story of this toy is interesting and unique enough to merit a WP article. Right now there are no reliable sources. If these could be found then keep, otherwise delete for now.Borock (talk) 01:45, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment: It appears that the correct name is "Air Hogs Storm Launcher" (note the space). There are a few GNews hits with that name: [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Air+Hogs%22+%22Storm+Launcher%22+source%3A%22-newswire%22+source%3A%22-wire%22+source%3A%22-presswire%22+source%3A%22-PR%22+source%3A%22-press%22+source%3A%22-release%22+source%3A%22-wikipedia%22&btnG=Search+Archives&scoring=a]. Unfortunately, most of them seem to be behind paywalls so they're hard to evaluate. Beyond the GNews hits, [http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/article_display.cfm?article_id=812 this review] looks pretty professional, though RC Universe may or may not be a reliable source. There may very well be more sources out there, but that's what I found.--Chris Johnson (talk) 09:36, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete - no encyclopaedic value, unreferenced, self-promotion. New seeker (talk) 11:55, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete Far from notable. Possible merge if a suitable parent article can be found.  B.Rossow talkcontr 18:25, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
  • Merge/redirect to Air Hogs per B.Rossow. Cunard (talk) 19:08, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
  • Can't merge because there are no sources, and all content in Wikipedia must have sources. Therefore, delete. Stifle (talk) 13:09, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
