Overcast (Transformers)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article is about multiple non-notable and unrelated fictional characters. Delete due to lack of sources, notability and proper subject. NotARealWord (talk) 18:29, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the article: "Overcast has never appeared as himself in any official storyline" That about settles it. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:42, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - That is an inaccurate remark and I removed it. As you can read in following paragraphs he HAS appeared in several stories, as himself. When he was created he was a repaint of Jetfire by Hasbro, but since then he got his own stories. Mathewignash (talk) 20:51, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

delete Fails WP:GNG - we seem to doing a lot of this stuff at moment, could we merge it all to a list? --Cameron Scott (talk) 19:57, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - There's a deletion-sorting for Transformers-related stuff at Wikipedia:WikiProject Transformers/Deletion sorting although pages have to be added manually to the list, so there might be some TF-related AfDs going on not mentioned there.

Redirect, but to what? He's an Autobot, a Mini-Con AND a Decepticon! Which list? Needs a disambig. Mathewignash (talk) 20:52, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Redirect is inappropriate due to being multiple unrelated and non-notable characters. Also, "He's an Autobot, a Mini-Con AND a Decepticon" is inaccurate since they're highly separate characters (them, not him). Again, which reinforces how unsuitable this article is, attempting to cover multiple unrelated subjects simply due to a shared name. NotARealWord (talk) 20:56, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no source, no notability the answer is inevitable. Dwanyewest (talk) 02:58, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - To sum up: no independent, reliable sources, fails GNG, thus delete. Skinny87 (talk) 08:17, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Split merge into the various lists. Doesn't sound like he has enough info in any one incarnation, but completeness in the various lists dictate he be covered somewhere. List entries can cross-reference each other. Jclemens (talk) 16:49, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Split merge into List of Autobots, List of Decepticons and List of Mini-Cons per above poster. Simply deleting this is stupid. --Divebomb (talk) 14:14, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no sources to WP:verify notability. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:32, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
