Inadequately referenced since June 2006. The only source in the article is the product's own website. Difficult to find RS online. Also, this article is promotional. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 04:32, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, since sources can be found pretty easily. While I'm not sure how great any of them are, they all appear to be independent: [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] There's probably more in German works. Some seem to think (incorrectly) that everything written about anything commercial is promotional, but this article is mostly factual and actually has few tone problems, which are easily fixed (the "promotional" claim is hard to sustain in this case). A weird thing is the use of past tense, since these toys are still in production and are available [13]. Maybe there was a production hiatus between the first draft of the article and now? — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ< 07:43, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, notable toy widely available in my childhood. Here is a book that talks a bit (in a not very scholarly way, probably aimed at children) about the motor. The past tense is probably due to the fact that Hot Wheels is much bigger than Darda these days. —Kusma (t·c) 12:22, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
