No third-party sources and no notability asserted. Black Kite (t) (c) 18:39, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete : As per notability.--Camilo Sanchez (talk) 23:49, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Cut down and keep or merge with the relevant list article reliable third-party sources seem to exist: [1], [2], [3]. There's definitely enough sources out there to support some amount of text, but not all that's currently in the article. --Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 03:18, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Cut down and keep The sources out there are not enough to support this amount of text, but it's still not reason to delete. --Divebomb (talk) 15:51, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge (after trimming both) with Cybertron. --Khajidha (talk) 16:19, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Also merge Cybertron (The Transformers) and Cybertron (Marvel Comics) into the mix. --Khajidha (talk) 16:21, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I just added a newspaper article about the origin of the Transformers mythos, which went on about Primus vs. Unicron. Rise of The Fallen, New Straits Times, January 17, 2009 by Rizal Solomon. This covers the asserted lack of third party sources in the nomination. I also added a note from the book Transformers and Philosophy by John R. Shook and Liz Stillwaggon Swan, which talks about Primus' importance in the origin of the Transformers. Also, Boys Life Magazine made Primus it's top choice in toys for a boy in 2006. That should cover notability. Mathewignash (talk) 20:11, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Maybe that could work, but, can the New Straits Times one be viewed online? NotARealWord (talk) 13:08, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Being online or accessible for free is not necessary for verifiability. --Malkinann (talk) 17:58, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
