:{{la|Foldabots}} ([{{fullurl:Foldabots|wpReason={{urlencode: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Foldabots}}&action=delete}} delete]) – (View AfD)(View log)

Unreferenced toy book. Only source on page is a dead link. Author has created an army of Foldabot pages, and has since been blocked for it. For reference, please see: Foldabots toy book, Lupet and Uwak:Foldabots, Liyab:Foldabots, Metrotren:Foldabots, Lu-Sho:Foldabots, Pasada:Foldabots, Karera:Foldabots, Elementron:Foldabots, Raya:foldabots character, Miko:foldabots character, Foldabot Liyab, Foldabot Patrol, and more... every time I check, there are a few more. They may be breeding on their own at this point.

  • Comment this was tagged for speedy, but I removed the speedy as I felt it didn't meet any of the criteria. I was however about to send it here when the nom beat me to it. Black Kite 09:35, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Both of the times it's been nominated for speedy deletion, the article hasn't met any of the criteria, so AFD is the right place for this to end up. I added the only source in February in an attempt to find some reliable references for this subject - from memory, when it was a live link it was a newspaper article about the new Foldabots book and the only such reference in Google News. I am not convinced either way about Foldabots' notability - there are a lot of websites out there on Foldabots and it seems popular in the Philippines, but there's a lack of reliable sources (in English, anyway, perhaps there are reliable sources in Filipino).

  • Neutral Ive seen a couple of news articles here [http://services.inquirer.net/mobile/09/03/03/html_output/xmlhtml/20090220-190105-xml.html], [http://showbizandstyle.inquirer.net/lifestyle/lifestyle/view/20081215-178073/Robots-in-foldabots]. There's some stir at the local media but I don't think it's enough to push its notability.--Lenticel (talk) 12:18, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete. I would have made the same case for any article with the subject's only reference/s being a short article in Rated K or Jessica Soho Presents, where not all the featured persons/topics are strongly notable. --- Tito Pao (talk) 10:38, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete it as an unpopular toy. Alexius08 (talk) 05:08, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
