[edit] Cox gas engine toys

Pretty much invisible per the Google test, no evidence of sales numbers or anything else per WP:CORP, no sign of any reliable sources or significant third-party coverage Just zis Guy you know? 16:00, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Did you try "Cox" and ".049"? About 332,000 Google hits. Cox gas engine toys were on every storeshelf from Wal-Mart to K-Mart and of course in all hobby stores when I was a kid. I owned several model cars and airplanes that used engines as small as .010 and as large as .35. Mugaliens 17:49, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep - At the time of writing there are over a hundred Cox 049s for sale on eBay so they seem perfectly collectable. Factual articles on historic collectable toys are entirely encyclopaedic. BlueValour 02:06, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per the two comments above. --Daniel Olsen 03:05, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with Cox Models same topic much more complete. Dimitrii 03:20, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect with Cox Models, as these are absolutely cultural touchstones for a large (physically, at least) segment of the population (look for the self-tinting glasses and walrus moustaches). Geogre 12:38, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge — with Cox Models as per above. -- moe.RON talk | done | doing 00:08, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
