The result was redirect to Transformers. The history is preserved to allow merging into a list if/when created. Overall, there is no significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:41, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable fictional character sourced only to primary sources and thus fails WP:GNG. A merge to a minor characters list is usually appropriate here but none appears to exist. Black Kite (t) (c) 23:53, 3 September 2010 (UTC) Black Kite (t) (c) 23:53, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Major character in a recent notable film. Mathewignash (talk) 00:11, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - notable character within the Transformers franchise, which appeared in the toyline, cartoon, comic books, and film. BOZ (talk) 23:27, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Split the article based along the different series, merge into their respective series character lists, and convert to a disambiguation page. —Farix (t | c) 22:08, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • When dealing with non-notable character articles, it is always preferable to look for a list or to create one to merge the article into, or merge/redirect them to the main article instead of outright deletion. Only in cases where the character is completely incidental should it be deleted. Also, how the page is currently organizes shows the folly of trying to cover more than one character from different series that happen to share the same name. —Farix (t | c) 17:46, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Notability improved - I added a good book citation to the article that should help establish notability for the character. Mathewignash (talk) 22:37, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - No real-world notability asserted for a fictional character. Tarc (talk) 02:23, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• More notability - Added a source from an "unofficial" guidebook, should be considered non-primary. Mathewignash (talk) 09:57, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Distinct lack of reliable sources indicating notability. Thus it fails notability guidelines and GNG. Skinny87 (talk) 09:54, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• weak keep unofficial sourcebooks are acceptable independent sources. There are a few others in the article. Sourcing is certainly not lacking and RSes aren't lacking, it's non-trivial independent sources. There is enough of each category (independent, non-trivial etc.).Hobit (talk) 06:25, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
