Series of television advertisements from the late 2000s to early 2010s which are largely unsourced and fail notability per WP:GNG; a cursory Google search reveals links only to YouTube and Facebook videos from the advertiser themselves, as well as press releases submitted to various advertising websites by the producing agency.

• Comment - I've just noticed that this was AfD'd 16(!) years ago and while the consensus was a strong delete, nothing happened. It is surely time to go now. Gibbsy^spin 00:12, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Looking at the deletion log it's been deleted and recreated several times. – Teratix ₵ 07:19, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep there are several references from independent sources, news articles etc which for individual television ads meets a WP:SIGCOV standard. Sourcing needs improvement for completeness but GNG itself looks to be well met. Aspirex (talk) 02:11, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Delete search I conducted would indicate it lacks WP:GNG with most results being to social media postings containing the adverts themselves. The very few news newspaper articles that do reference the subject matter I found, only do so in passing in reference to discussions about other things. Additionally this reads as advertising. This has already been deleted four times. TarnishedPath^talk 22:27, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete discarding all the social media fluff, Newsbank actually brings up quite a few decent-length news reports on the campaign – there's a strong case for GNG here. However, there seems to be indications that Toyota, though perhaps not going as far to write the articles themselves, has had a hand in bringing them about. For example, one author in the Herald Sun mentions basing their coverage on a "sneak peek", presumably orchestrated by Toyota itself.

If this were a non-commercial subject I would give it the benefit of the doubt, but there seems to be too much self-promotion poisoning the waters here to be confident the subject genuinely meets our notability standards. – Teratix ₵ 09:02, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
