Fictional character that does not appear to have enough significant third-party comment for independent notability. Black Kite (t) (c) 00:17, 3 July 2011 (UTC) Black Kite (t) (c) 00:17, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

delete or merge No independent sources have significant coverage of this particular transformer. It is not notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HominidMachinae (talk • contribs) 23:36, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - No reliably sourced coverage to support claim of notability. In-world cruft is insufficient. Tarc (talk) 03:01, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep All this article needs are few experts on the subject that are willing to clean it up to Wiki standards. Yapool Seijin (talk) 16:10, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"Experts on the subject" cannot magically create reliable sources to satisfy notability concerns. Minor toys do not see much coverage outside of product catalogs and fan websites. Tarc (talk) 16:28, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- No sources are provided beyond primary sources and toy catalogues, and I can't find anything more substantial. This is insufficient to satisfy notability concerns. Tarc is right; it is no good to claim some "expert" is going to wave his wand and magically turn this fancrufty article about a trivial fictional character into something resembling an encyclopedia article. Not without proper sources. Reyk _YO! 07:44, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: No evidence that the fictional character has been significantly covered as a topic in multiple reliable secondary sources independent of the subject to presume that it is a suitable topic per the general notability guideline. As with other similar articles, it is not a plausible term and the content is barely referenced, so a redirect or a merge are not warranted. Jfgslo (talk) 23:48, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
