Another obscure, non-notable Gobots character. Is wikipedia run for the benefit of fifth graders? Donald Schroeder JWH018 (talk) 21:16, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural Keep - This page has no Gobots on it. The nominator is ignorant and should read the articles before posting nominations. Mathewignash (talk) 21:19, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - a dead YouTube video and a dodgy websites are poor sources to assert notability. Dwanyewest (talk) 21:42, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete because Joyride worked with a task force under Nightbeat and Getaway during the Age of Internment, in hopes of capturing and studying one of Megatron's cloned warriors, the Aerospace Extermination Squadron. I can't think of a better rationale other than, perhaps, that it is simply not notable. Hans Adler 23:51, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Standard fictional biography, just like any character from Lost or CSI. The shows themselves are the source. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 01:40, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Lost and CSI both have extensive coverage in reliable sources, this doesn't. Also, A big cookie to Hans Adler for literally making me laugh out loud. :) Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:42, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment BANNAD SOCK PUPPET NOMINATION - This whole deletion nomination was created by a banned sock puppet, and should be ended based on that, a REAL nomination could then be made if someone legitmate wants to make one. Mathewignash (talk) 08:08, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Hans Adler presented a gem of a rationale. Lots of "age of internment" noise, no demostration of notability. Rubber ducks are cool, these things aren't. East of Borschov 08:12, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Autobots. --Divebomb (talk) 15:20, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- I am not sure that page should exist, either. No reliable sources other than two patents for toy cars. A patent does not establish notability. Autobot is no more help, the only source possibly independent of the manufacturer being a strange website. Hans Adler 20:44, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the group article Powermasters. Without an appearance in any TV series, this character is not particularly notable. Another option would be to merge this with Ranger (Transformers). --Polaron | Talk 17:56, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect. Either would be reasonable, but keeping this is a non-starter. Two sources, both unreliable, and I can't find any other useful coverage. Alzarian16 (talk) 22:36, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
