Forum:CT Archive/LEGOs

So, after some discussion, it's been proposed that the overarching lines, or "themes", of LEGO sets receive articles. As this could be seen as opening the door to articles on individual sets, this CT will add a clause to the notability policy regarding toys and toy lines.


 * Toys such as action figures and LEGOs should not receive articles for individual figures or sets, but should instead be documented in articles for individual toy lines. These toy lines should be listed in the Sources section of in-universe articles. Whereas traditional toy lines should be listed in Sources list by action figures/vehicles/playset, etc., LEGO sets should only be listed by overall theme.

This does a number of things: it codifies our implied policy to not permit articles on individual toys and LEGO sets, and it allows us to treat LEGO sets as official sources of canon information. For example, the recent Rebels sets were the first mentions and visual depictions of several Rebels characters, and the Liberator-class starfighter was first named the Talon strike fighter by its LEGO set before a later source established the class. However, as there's a big possibility that listing the sets could get out of hand for articles like Luke and clone troopers, it's best not to list them all.

The following are the "themes" that would be used:
 * LEGO Classic Star Wars
 * LEGO Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
 * LEGO Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones
 * LEGO Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
 * LEGO Star Wars Expanded Universe
 * LEGO Star Wars: The Clone Wars
 * LEGO Star Wars Rebels
 * LEGO Ultimate Collector's Series
