Merge to Bionic Commando. The sourcing to prove WP:GNG is simply not there, and the article relies on trivial mentions. No prejudice towards recreation if any significant coverage is found. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:33, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not sure how much of Spencer's article can be merged to Bionic Commando without it clogging the article. I think what the Bionic Commando has right now is fine for Rad's coverage. As for the article itself, its sources seem pulled from completely random sources more than forming any cohesive form of reception. That being said, I'm not opposed to the article being restored should sources come up in the future, but right now, those sources don't seem to exist.

Redirect to Bionic Commando - Yet another fictional character article where trivial mentions in general game reviews and appearances in "Top Ten" style churnalism articles are being disguised as genuine significant coverage from reliable sources. The actual sources do not demonstrate any kind of notability for the character outside of the general notability of the series he is from, so redirecting to that article is the best option here.

Redirect to Bionic Commando. Relies on listicles and passing mentions. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 22:14, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect and lightly merge. There is some coverage, but it's closer to WP:TRIVIALMENTIONs and not detailed enough for WP:SIGCOV. Shooterwalker (talk) 03:05, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
