Elita One[edit]

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

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) 23:56, 3 September 2010 (UTC) Black Kite (t) (c) 23:56, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Major character in a recent notable film. Mathewignash (talk) 00:13, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Elita One appears in a number of different Transformers universes. So is a obviously important enought to have been included in them and therefore worthy of an article.DeadDave666 (talk) 22:35, 5 September 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by DeadDave666 (talk • contribs) 22:31, 5 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) 22:35, 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) 17:48, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No real-world notability asserted for a fictional character. Tarc (talk) 02:17, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A little better than some of these, it doesn't assert notability per se but does assert a measure of uniqueness in being a female Transformer. Not so unique that she's been substantially covered in reliable sources though. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:54, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete if there's something significant about being a female transformer, then there would be a source that could WP:verify notability of this as a phenomenon. I looked. Found nothing. Wikipedia WP:PG policies and guidelines call for third-party sources for facts, or else information should be removed. (See WP:V and WP:N for this requirement.)

A character doesn't need to be notable to be merged into a character list because notability does not directly limit article content. Nor are third-party sources required to verify the character's role in a work. Primary sources are reliable sources to verify that much. —Farix (t | c) 00:49, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No reliable, independent sources. Fails GNG, thus delete. Skinny87 (talk) 09:56, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
