This fictional town has been a stub for 18 years, and everything worth saying about it is already said in the Barbie article. BD2412 T 21:01, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete: I found some evidence of notability in this Milwaukee Record article and this Milwaukee Magazine article. The second one, in particular, has a quote from a book that explains that Willows was made up to make Barbie more appealing to women who might not want to buy their daughters a busty doll. Still, I think that anything relevant could be easily slotted into the main Barbie article, and that this isn't a likely search term. Kncny11 ^(shoot) 22:28, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Even with the information from the sources that Kncny11 mentioned, there just is not enough content to warrant this being WP:SPLIT from the main Barbie article, where her fictional background in the town is already discussed. It could be used as a redirect to Barbie#Fictional biography, where it is covered, but as stated, it doesn't seem like a very plausible search term. But, redirects are cheap, so if someone thinks it should become one, I won't object. Rorshacma (talk) 02:03, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to list of fictional cities (in which it is currently not mentioned at all) unless better sources are found (then ping me and I'll reconsider my vote). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:31, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Barbie: Plausible search term, might be worthwhile to preserve the editing history. Could have been boldly speedy redirected using this rationale without an AfD but since we are here, I think it is best to let the AfD go ahead. Java Hurricane 07:31, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Barbie per JavaHurricane-the Wisconsin Historical Society has an article about Barbie and the fictional place of Willows was mentioned. I also concern that editors will confused the fictional place of Willows with the town of Willow, Wisconsin in Richland County, Wisconsin. There were edits done to the Willow, Wisconsin article about the town by people who thought the town of Willow, Wisconsin]] was the fictional place of Willows where Barbie had lived.

Note Please see my comments at the Willow, Wisconsin, Richland County page considering my comments about redirecting the fictional place of Willowa-Thank You-RFD (talk) 18:48, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
