[edit] Chevron Cars

Chevron Cars (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Clearly an article made for a non-notable advertising campaign. A single link on the page doesn't start with "www.chevron", and it's from a 1997 edition of a San Francisco Business Journal. Pro crast in a tor 22:42, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per above; I must say, the existence of the pic on the right had me fooled for a moment, but I suppose that's a new tactic on the part of advertisers. Let that be a warning to people on talks like these… \sim Lenoxus " * " 22:52, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete for violating WP:SOAP, not to mention a lack of notability. Bfigura (talk) 23:46, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - if sources are found to prove notability, and the article becomes a little less soapy, I'll happily switch to keep. But until then, delete. --Bfigura (talk) 06:44, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. An 11-year ad campaign with collectibles, may not have been "the next Beanie Babies" as one 1996 article asked, but still kicking. Sources exist. --Dhartung | Talk 05:57, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Non-notable ad campaign? Are you kidding me! This has been going on for 11 years. It is only non-notable if you live where Chevron stations don't exist. If you delete this, then you might as well delete all toy collection entries! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.181.224.132 (talk) 05:49, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Business-related deletions. -- Gavin Collins 13:50, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Does anyone even bother looking for sources before nominating articles for deletion? A Google News Archive search turns up plenty of articles with significant coverage of both the advertising campaign and the collectible toys. Easily notable. DHowell 01:15, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The fact that they have been parodied at least three times speaks to notability. I know of a parody on Robot Chicken that should be added to this page. Viperix 01:25, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
