Prod was disputed by creator; zero reliable sources to demonstrate how these meet general notability guidelines. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:43, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My first reaction was that it would all fall under WP:OR, and based on the article it is easy to see how anyone would presume that, and admittedly a lot of basic web searches directed me to collector/auction sites. But then I did a search in Google Books that returned an impressive batch of sources that appear to be third party about the history and business of sports card collecting. I have to be straight-up: now I'm not so sure. Notability isn't what I think it is... it's what reliable sources think it is. There's some reliable sources to plow through and I hope the community teams up to get this done. It could still go either way in my book.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:26, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I don't doubt the general notability of Bowman Gum, but even looking through some of those book results (one of the first entries being a self-published book), I'm not seeing significant coverage of this particular set. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:49, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep since it had rookie card George Blanda, but I am not educated on what is important enough to be an article with card sets, so take this with a grain of salt. Sportsfangnome (talk) 20:45, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
