Deadblow[edit]

Articles on the individual battle robots, even ones made by notable special effects artists, seem like cruft. The robot is already mentioned on Grant Imahara's article and the Battlebots article. ~ Matticus78 20:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep seems notable enough.--File Éireann 20:37, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It's just a freakin' robot, with no assertion -- none, zip, zero, nada, nil -- of notability. --Calton | Talk 02:46, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. While I personally don't think every BattleBot should be catalogued, Deadblow is the #2 ranked middleweight and 2 time rumble winner. Had a few toys made of it too. Wikipedia has an entire category dedicated to notable Robot Wars robots, I think the popularity of BattleBots would warrant a similar category for a select group.

Extremely weak keep. The robot is notable, but the problem is that the information on the BattleBots website is horribly out of date (from early 2001). BattleBots has had several competitions (televised and non-televised) since then, and they haven't updated their website. Deadblow hasn't competed in any events since 2001. It's made a few appearances on MythBusters, but that doesn't really add a lot. --Coredesat talk 06:01, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Arenacale, given that this is (or once was) a high-ranking bot. Sources need to be worked into the article. Yamaguchi先生 08:10, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
