Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Crayola crayon colors (2nd nomination)
This article seems to satisfy the requirements for a list-based article according to : the topic ''as a group'' is notable; there have been a number of controversies over the years specifically over the color naming in the Crayola crayon products, e.g., http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=348&dat=19910917&id=0GgwAAAAIBAJ&sjid=gDUDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4692,3169971, http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1993-01-13/features/1993013028_1_crayola-crayon-new-crayons-binney-smith, http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/chi-emskin0520120209161650,0,4716104.photo, and http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/arizonaliving/articles/2008/12/16/20081216crayons1216.html. There is a rather extensive history of the Crayola colors at the secondary source http://www.crayoncollecting.com/ccolor30.htm The Definitive History of the Colors of Crayola, . As a consequence, individual members of the lists may not need to be sourced, nor do they need to be notable. This sort of reasoning is why articles such as List of colors: A-M can continue to exist, despite many more colors, yet worse sourcing. For the purposes of verification of the color names and when these colors appeared, it is fine to use a primary source such as the web page http://www2.crayola.com/colorcensus/history/chronology.cfm Crayola Crayon Chronology. Such information is illustrated (beautifully) at secondary sources such as http://www.datapointed.net/2010/10/crayola-color-chart-rainbow-style/ The History Of Crayola Crayons, Charted. Other secondary sources found with a quick search are http://www.colorschemer.com/blog/2008/03/21/120-crayons-on-the-web/ 120 Crayons on the Web or the crayola color schemes at http://www.colorschemer.com/ colorschemer.com. So the color names are verifiable. The color representations are problematic and approximate, but ''all'' represented colors on Wikipedia are approximate because of dependence on the monitor or print medium. There is a Wikipedia:WikiProject Color that discusses these issues. Their answer is to create Wikipedia:WikiProject Color/Normalized Color Coordinates|normalized color coordinates We may wish to follow their lead in this case. A notable topic and surmountable article problems, per , lead me to recommend keeping the article
