 * Keep passes WP:GNG with WP:RS Lightburst (talk) 21:59, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
 * You clearly have no idea about either guideline. You just said the same thing on another AfD with nearly 100% primary sources. TTN (talk) 22:06, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Your nomination rationale is lazy and your WP:BEFORE is lacking. You should study the issue before making disruptive nominations. Lightburst (talk) 22:08, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Neither has anything to do with your inability to actually tell what makes a reliable source. It seems you're just stating a generic contrary opinion because you dislike my methods, so your opinion will hopefully be discounted as pointless. TTN (talk) 22:11, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Be careful not to attack the !voter - it starts to feel like a WP:PA. Your nomination has already been discounted by me but I imagine others may come along to defend your non-existent rationale. I participate on many AfDs and occasionally I encounter a nominator that attacks the participants and bludgeons editors. I have other important work to do here, so best of luck to you on your nominations. Lightburst (talk) 22:16, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I will call out nonsense when I see it. You say the nomination is lacking, but only refute it with a nonsensical rebuttal you have yet to back up with even the slightest justification. I can perfectly respect an inclusionistic mindset when one is willing to argue based on actual standards, but not someone who uses them as a shield for their unsupported opinions.

 * Delete Fails WP:NFICTION/WP:GNG. No in-depth coverage, mentions in passing, usual fancruft. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:49, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom and Piotrus. Non-notable character that is, as with most of the Transformers articles, fancruft. Don't see any "clear" pass of GNG anywhere.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 18:14, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect to List of Decepticons. The proposed target article only has a single reference for dozens of characters. This isn't notable enough for a stand alone article, but is noteworthy within the series. Any added references for the list would be a net gain. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 19:23, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Switching my opinion to Delete. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:20, 7 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete WOW! This was the 25th most unfortunately named Transformer – "he ain’t no Marilyn Monroe by Earth standards"! Seriously, Lightburst, this vote was lazy and embarrassing, which of the sources here satisfy GNG??? It's not our job to have separate articles for every item in "Transformers: The Ultimate Guide". Stop reflexively claiming GNG when none of the sources are independent of the appearances and its fancruft and none remotely have substantive content establishing its own notability. Maybe find something halfway there when you put this on your inclusionist canvassing page? Reywas92Talk 20:27, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, clearly not notable. Wikisaurus (talk) 22:01, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - not a single one of these characters is notable outside the Transformers universe. In fact, they aren't all that notable within that universe. If there is an appropriate list article, a redirect would be appropriate, but short of that, delete is the way to go.  Onel 5969  TT me 22:40, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - The sources provided on the page, and found upon searches, are not sufficient enough to count as reliable sources that denotes notability on this non-notable character. I am personally not in favor of Redirecting minor characters like this to the various "List of...." Transformers character lists, as those lists are pretty big messes and should, ideally, be limited to the actually notable examples.  Of which, this character is certainly not included among.
