The first article in this AfD, Buddleja 'Podaras11' = Flutterby Lavender, was kept at AfD in 2012 under the premise, not supported by policy, that having a comprehensive documentation of Buddleja cultivars was valuable, whether they met WP:GNG or not. Per strong recent consensus, this is no longer considered the case, and cultivars/hybrids/other minor ranks are expected to meet GNG in order for an article to be retained. (Please see the discussion at WT:PLANTS, the unanimously-deleted cultivar AfDs listed here as well as another bundled AfD).
In my opinion GNG is not met here. The first source is a patent, which is primary/not independent. The second isn't unreliable, but I'm not sure I'd call it significant coverage. Everything that came up on a search of the sales name or the actual name was a commercial listing or otherwise trivial. A single RS isn't enough to keep this. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 10:56, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
The following articles are in the same "Flutterby" series of cultivars, so I may as well do them all at once, as they all have similar sourcing problems.
- Buddleja 'Podaras1' = Flutterby Grande Vanilla
- Buddleja 'Podaras3' = Flutterby Grande Tangerine Dream
- Buddleja 'Podaras6' = Flutterby Peace
- Buddleja 'Podaras9' = Flutterby Pink
- Buddleja 'Podaras10' = Flutterby Petite Dark Pink
- Buddleja 'Podaras12' = Flutterby Flow Lavender
- Buddleja 'Podaras13' = Flutterby Petite Tutti Fruitti Pink
- Buddleja 'Podaras15' = Flutterby Petite Snow White

- Delete - Keep on pruning (pun intneded) these cultivar lists. PianoDan (talk) 18:37, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete Nothing to say about these cultivars, no sources other than catelogues. Hemiauchenia (talk) 23:55, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete WP:SIGCOV is needed, and catalogues do not pass that requirement. --SilverTiger12 (talk) 19:26, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete as not notable with a fall back position of merging all of them into a single reasonably written article. Gusfriend (talk) 05:55, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
- Merging has been discussed in the previous discussions, and is generally not considered a suitable option for these cultivars - there are hundreds of Buddleja cultivars, and very very few have sufficient reliable sourcing to even be worth merging. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 06:09, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
