Buzzsaw (Transformers)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Disputed prod. No evidence of real-world significance, no reliable sources cited. J Milburn (talk) 23:08, 29 August 2010 (UTC) Mathewignash (talk) 01:58, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Every fictional article on Wikipedia, which is most likely more than half the articles it has, has no real world significance. Not a valid reason to destroy them all, although some do seem to be trying.  Notable character featured in multiple animated series, comic book series, and toylines.   D r e a m Focus  23:36, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * So you admit this has no real world significance... Yet still want to keep it. Right. J Milburn (talk) 00:00, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, perhaps replace with appropriate redirect (but no cited content appears worth merging) - no assertion or evidence of real-world significance. --EEMIV (talk) 23:44, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Major original Transformers character who appeared in lots of media. Mathewignash (talk) 23:52, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright, any reliable sources? Any real world significance? J Milburn (talk) 00:00, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Why are people blindly deleting articles today instead of improving them? Check the references. X-entertainment.com, toplessrobots.com, etc. Large, non-Transformers specific sites talkabout about the character. They are part of the real world. Mathewignash (talk) 00:18, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * X-Entertainment is a "tribute to anything I feel, or have felt, passionately about in my life", according to the site's creator, while the surprisingly worksafe ToplessRobot article mentions the subject once, in parenthesis, even if it is reliable (which I wouldn't put money on). I am not convinced this has "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". J Milburn (talk) 00:26, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Also the set with Buzzsaw was voted the #5 top toy exclusive of SDCC 2009 by Wired Magazine. http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2009/07/top-10-san-diego-comic-con-exclusives/
 * If that one-word mention is the best coverage that this character has, that's pretty damning... Black Kite (t) (c) 13:10, 30 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Are any of the many tranformers guidebooks independent? If so, keep.  Otherwise merge or redirect.  I actually remember this one, so I'm pretty sure if the right person cared enough, they could make a GA, but these transformers AfDs are coming to fast to actually do anything about them. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 03:17, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, no real-world notability. Stifle (talk) 09:02, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, absolutely no real world notability or coverage. Black Kite (t) (c) 13:10, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge to appropriate Lists of Transformers characters. Likely keep as a redirect page.  There is no notability shown, all of this is just in-universe considerations.  Is there anything about the character's creation, how it was recieved by critics? Likely not, so we shouldn't have an article on it per how fiction is handled in general. --M ASEM  (t) 17:35, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. No reliable secondary coverage. Pokemon, anyone? Donald Schroeder JWH018 (talk) 01:36, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * *Keep due to undeniable evidence of real-world notability, coverage, and significance from reliable secondary sources.--63.3.1.1 (talk) 15:29, 1 September 2010 (UTC) ''Striking anonymous comment/vote" Donald Schroeder JWH018 (talk) 15:33, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
