The result was keep. postdlf (talk) 22:32, 29 August 2016 (UTC)reply
Keep Major toy line, quite influential at the time. Plenty of RS'ing for line in parent article
Kenner Star Wars action figures, list is complete and substantially not individually notable entries, meeting
WP:CSC points 2 and 3. Not likely to attract excessive entries. Why would we actually delete it? "Belongs on Wikia" is not a deletion criteria, and they can choose to have one there if they want one.

Lists of toys are excessive details that would be removed from any main article. There is nothing of general encyclopedic value in knowing the production number or in which model line the various toys debuted. That is the level of detail that belongs on a Wikia where such lists are more suited.

That is your opinion, which I do not happen to share. Is there even an essay to back it up?

Keep Satisfies GNG in spades. CatfishJim and the soapdish 19:44, 20 August 2016 (UTC)reply
Of course I could.
[1] is one,
[2] is another. How about
[3]? The nominator has been warned previously about spurious AfDs based on
WP:BELONG.CatfishJim
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete - per
WP:LISTVERIFY - Stand-alone lists are subject to Wikipedia's content policies and guidelines for articles, including
verifiability and
citing sources and also per
WP:NOR - To demonstrate that you are not adding OR, you must be able to cite reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article, and directly support the material being presented. There are numerous wikilinked articles throughout the list, but none of the articles linked "directly support the material being presented", including
Kenner Star Wars action figures.Keep - article now has references and GNG is met.--

It isn't a stand alone article, rather a sub page of that main article, but there are plenty of references out there. I've added three to the article. The collectors' market on these action figures is huge and people drop tens of thousands of dollars on some of these things... there is a lot of material out there about them.

And as you accurately point out - The collectors' market on these action figures is huge and people drop tens of thousands of dollars...So in light of that, collectors that come to Wikipedia to read/research this topic and come across this article should be able to see sources that verify the content. Thanks for adding references.--

Needs a lot more work, but thanks. CatfishJim and the soapdish 21:25, 29 August 2016 (UTC)reply
Keep #1 the nom didn't provide a reason to delete. #2 there are plenty of sources
[4] has a ton of books that appear to discuss the subject (I'm no expert on the different Star Wars action figures...)
