Basically PR for a particular group of models of a famous brand. No evidwence its appropriate for an article of its own. WP is not an auction catalog. DGG ( talk ) 02:20, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Rolex. KidAd talk 07:16, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Two comments: 1) Category:Rolex watches contains articles on ten Rolex models other than the Stella. Do those ten articles justify the existance of the article in question, or should all eleven articles be redirected? 2) The article in question says the Stella " is a variant of the Rolex Day-Date." If so, then if a redirect is warranted, perhaps a redirect to Rolex Day-Date is more appropriate? Gjs238 (talk) 17:41, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: 1) Though Rolex Day-Date model is the "parent" category, this variant stands alone as it was originally advertised as the "Lacquered Stella," not the "Day-Date Stella." 2) I've removed several past auctions to lessen PR tone and prevent those who read the article from thinking it's an auction catalog. 3) Redirecting all Rolex models to the parent Rolex page makes for a very cluttered and difficult to parse read-space. 4) The notoriety of this watch model is building due to Rolex's new models (mentioned in the article but not listed here to prevent it from looking like an advertisement).

Further discussion (Added by Instyletech 3:51, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

• I'd like to tone down the PR tone of the 'Stella' if that will help, but would like some suggestions as to what to remove, as the articles cited (historical, auction houses, private collectors) are included to legitimize the notoriety of this particular watch model.
• The intention of the 'Stella' page is define notability of this watch model and to prevent additional clutter on the already cluttered Rolex page and to differentiate it from the standard Rolex Day-Date.

Modifications made to original article (Added by Instyletech 21:51, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Removed "Notable Pieces" section, which removes all but 2 citations to previous auctions, to help with unbiased tone. Please assist with additional reasons why this article should be considered not to be an appropriate article of its own so I can repair.

• Keep: 1) Model was never advertised as a "Day-Date," it is just based on the Day-Date. It was originally marketed as the "Lacquered Stella." 2) Removed "Notable Models" section to make it seem less like a catalog. 3) Suggested that we keep the individual model pages separate due to unorganized clutter on Rolex page. I'd like to make changes to that in the near future. 4) Additional notoriety for the Stella due to new Rolex models. Instyletech 16:02, 12 October 2020 (UTC).[reply]

• Merge with a "redirect" to Rolex Day-Date, availabe references do not warrant a separate article on every variation of this watch, also given the size of the target article, there would be no problems with some/all of the models listed at Rolex Day-Date#Related pages to also be merged with the parent article.
