Omega Supreme (G1)[edit]

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

This article appears to fail WP:FICTION as sources appear to be about the Transformers toys and comic strips in general rather than demonstrating that this fictional character is notable in their own right. Content is similar to http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Omega_Supreme_(G1) but I find no independent matches in Google Books to demonstrate notability and general searching finds similar fan sites (for example http://goarticles.com/cgi-bin/showa.cgi?C=936591 has some of the identical text and pre-dates this article by over 2 years). Appearances documented in the Popular culture section do not substantiate substantial impact or independent notability being one appearance of the toy in a comic strip and the film Ninja Terminator is not intended to be the same character. Previous PROD removed, so raising for wider discussion after independently failing to find better sources. Fæ (talk) 16:30, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Omega Supreme which covers the topic more widely and is the more common name. Presumably it's the G1 distinction which is giving the nominator trouble with his searches. I have no trouble finding sources. Colonel Warden (talk) 17:19, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- from a cursory inspection it would seem that this article is substantially a duplicate of Omega Supreme. There's nothing to merge because it's all already there. Reyk _YO! 05:14, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
