:: This article has already been attacked for the childish and non-serious nature of teddy bears. This section gives reasonable context that other boat racers (and ] was one of the most celebrated) would ''also'' be seen and photographed with their "toy bears".

Woppit
If Mr Whoppit is a Woppit, then (partly due to the new Merrythought regeneration) where does the generic Woppit fit, in terms of notability? This blog post contains some further info which could possibly be sourced elsewhere. -- Trevj (talk · contribs) 10:59, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
A couple of refs, including this, were removed as they're "not RS" (which is a reason that we can't rely on them to prove notability or a contentious claim, but not a reason to exclude them in general). This even went to ANI, but TheRedPenOfDoom chose not to engage in that discussion and the only argument for removing non-RS seemed to come down to, "Things are removable because I want to remove them".

oh, dear andy, i am pretty sure that "people didnt leave my non reliable sources" is not really a position you wish to base any critique upon. And do you really want me to quote what the third party responses and consensus to that ANI discussion were? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom14:08, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
It went to ANI, which to save duplication I've already linked to rather than quoting. Your view garnered no support. You didn't even attempt to defend it yourself. There is still no policy requiring that all sources have to meet RS. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:58, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
since you seem to think what was said there is relevant
" More stalking, wikihounding and harassment by Andy Dingley, when they get into a disagreement with another user this is fairly standard tactics for him. Werieth"
"The picture of the bear at a funeral is patently as primary as sources get. I see nothing wrong with that removal. Mangoe "
"I want to correct some inaccuracies in Andy's report here. ... Bbb23" "that kind of revert is not exempt, but your calling them "blankings" makes him sound like a vandal and again confirms my suspicions about your motives.--Bbb23"
"It is self-evident that if someone removes a source, she/he is challenging it. Thus, any non-reliable source, as I understand the term, may be removed on sight. That doesn't forbid adding unsourced material, or poor sources; it just forbids complaining about their removal. Howunusual"
the only statement actually in support of your position "IMO a reasonably bright line here is "challenged or likely to be challenged". Also IAFIU, "challenged" does NOT mean "IDONTLIKEIT":" however that was followed up with *" In addition, Flickr is hardly a usable source in many cases, because what you see and what one shows in a photo is subject to interpretation (WP:RS) hence easily contestable as to how it can support article content. Staszek Lem"
Did anyone support your claimed point here: "all sources must meet RS", or was the view simply that of our clear policy, that when contentious claims rely on a source, they must rely on a source that meets RS? You are claiming that any source not meeting RS should be removed for that reason alone, whether it is being relied upon or not. There is no support, and still no support, for that view.

Andy Ill give you once chance to retract your personal attack, I am not socking, nor am I stalking you, this edit pinged me, so I took a look and commented. Again with the personal attacks. Werieth (talk) 13:40, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Should the article contain the statement "Gar Wood and his brother George also kept teddy bears tied to their raceboat engines. or is it inappropriate for this article because it is not related to the subject of this article "Mr. Whoppit"?
