Delete or Redirect to Lists of Transformers characters. The character has appeared in multiple shows/comics, so there's not an obvious redirect target. This is a list of character lists, which should help the reader locate the specific version they're looking for. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:38, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge to List of Autobots. BOZ (talk) 05:36, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Notability has been established by multiple reliable sources. GigglesnortHotel (talk) 18:39, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are certainly multiple sources in the article. That may satisfy WP:V, but just existing does not satisfy WP:N. They are not used in any meaningful manner, so they are useless in regards to that. TTN (talk) 18:58, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge if there's anything worth merging, but a redirect or outright deletion would also be appropriate. I am strongly opposed to keeping the article as is; there is little indication that the character has independent notability, and the article itself is a mess.
