List of robots from WALL-E[edit]

MERGE Not everyone will realize the play on letters and words in the movie, or guess all of them. Also a window to the detail the writers gave to making the movie.--Flightsoffancy (talk) 17:33, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Listcruft - a non-notable list of robots in a film. No sources at all, has to be original research, can't be verified unless we all go down to the local cinema. Contested prod (removed without explanation). - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:50, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, indiscriminate list, no notability outside the film itself. JIP | Talk 07:16, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect to Wall-E. WP:NOR/WP:V mauler90 (talk) 07:33, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per !votes above. I could name more problems but not naming all would be cherry-picking. – sgeureka ^t•c 07:58, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not an encyclopedia article. Should be posted elsewhere and linked to article on the movie. Northwestgnome (talk) 13:26, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is just an excuse for an article --Vhoscythe^chatter 14:16, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge anything useful with the article on the film; no need for a separate list article. To reply to a comment by the nominator, citing a film as a source is perfectly acceptable and going down to a theatre to verify is no different than citing a print source that requires one to go down to a library or archives. That doesn't necessarily excuse this list from being OR, but I had to reply to that. If this is effectively a list of characters, however, then that's easily verified, but it belongs in the movie article, not as a standalone, although if WALL-E becomes a long-term franchise like Star Wars, the question could be revisited at a later date. 23skidoo (talk) 15:16, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Fair enough, and merge might be suitable if this does emerge into a franchise — which wouldn't surprise me one bit. Additionally, if it does emerge, we can always resurrect this article through deletion review if a stand-alone article is merited at that time. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 17:29, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Wall-E - This information is already in the article. iced kola^(Mmm...) 21:01, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proof: Wall-E#Cast. Just tag the section with {{Unreferencedsection}}. iced kola^(Mmm...) 21:08, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above. Nominator comments that this "can't be verified unless we all go down to the local cinema." Saw the movie, enjoyed it, but the film didn't come with footnotes. There was a glimpse of what WALL-E stood for, I forget now. Other than WALL-E and EVE, I don't think that the other robots were named in the movie. Maybe this is drawn from a toy catalog.

Delete without redirect; this is knee-jerk fancruft, being indiscriminate plot detail. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 23:28, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge any useful information into the Wall-E article (though let's be honest; there's not much in here, I think the entries on Wall-E, EVE, M-O, AUTO, and Burn-E are about it) and delete the rest. Albino Bebop (talk) 09:21, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge: I'd created the list as a portion of the character section before those were expanded. With BURN-E coming (and presumably sequels as they're already working on Cars 2 and Disney is notorious for sequelizing everything) there may be reappearances of some of these characters. There are merchandising and other appearances by these characters already. Pejorative.majeure (talk) 03:15, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
