No real notability here after checking the news sources [1], all I find are content farms and fansites. Grandmaster Huon (talk) 14:58, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural Keep due to questionable motives of nominator and flood of similar nominations leaving no time for anyone to do non-Google research. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 19:59, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep obviously satisfies GNG. InfiniteNexus (talk) 00:49, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the discussion must still run its course but it is worth noting that the nominator has been blocked for persistent bad faith actions. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 19:06, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - There are some sources in the article already, but additionally: A good amount of character discussion occurs in this comic review. I know it's CBR, but this is an actual review as opposed to a listicle (where he definitely shows up in a few as well). Dinobot comes up in several of CBR's pieces on this run, but most recap the story (another shortcoming at times). This one spends more time on Dinobot himself. He seems to be one of the more notable aspects of Beast Wars highlighted by Collider in this piece, and while Flickering Myth covered an entire three-season run, discussion dedicated to Dinobot exceeded WP:100WORDS here. Polygon also dedicates quite a bit of discussion of him in a couple different pieces: One where Dinobot comes up in discussion of the recent film Transformers: Rise of the Beasts where he doesn't appear to even be a character, and another in coverage of Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy. Plenty of sources WP:NEXIST. This one doesn't need as much trimming as some of the others, but a little could stand to be removed. -2pou (talk) 23:44, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
