Chase (Transformers)

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Minor Transformers character, only one non-fansite source in the whole article. Not enough to establish notability. Divebomb (talk) 17:50, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge or redirect to Throttlebots. A character that is worth mentioning but not necessarily notable enough for its own article. J I P  &#124; Talk 19:14, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge or delete fansites are not CREDIBLE indpendent sources to assert notability. Dwanyewest (talk) 22:36, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, I added a third party source today, plan to find more later. Should be a sign that such sources exist. Mathewignash (talk) 07:57, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - not notable. The highly generic name doesn't even sound like a good redirect. --Khajidha (talk) 13:16, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - I don't think having a generic sounding name is sound reasoning to delete a fictional character. 198.51.174.5 (talk) 16:47, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Added another references about Chase in IDW comics today. Mathewignash (talk) 20:51, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment You're kidding me right? Nowhere in that link is Chase actually mentioned. It's a two-three sentence summary of a comic he appeared. Therefore, bad source. --Divebomb (talk) 17:58, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment It mentions by name the TEAM Chase is on. You don't need to mention the specific member of a team by name to make a clear statement. The source says the THROTTLEBOTS appeear in the story and Chase is one of the Throttlebots. 198.51.174.5 (talk) 15:23, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - I'm going to need a Template:TransformersVote pretty soon, as this is the same story every day; not even a whiff of reliably sourced notability, just fancruft from toy/comic-cons, guides, and the like. Tarc (talk) 18:51, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I was actually considering making a template, if only to be able to make a list of all the goddamned minor characters that need to be merged/redirected/deleted. --Divebomb (talk) 19:12, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Having a generic note against Transformers articles instead of addressing the article individually would imply not considering each article on it's own merrit and just blanket voting against them. Probably not a good idea. If reading each article and then commenting on them is too much trouble, you don't have to vote on them at all. 198.51.174.5 (talk) 15:28, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I know that. I only want a list of minor Transformers characters for discussion purposes. --Divebomb (talk) 15:33, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Since 99.9% of the articles nominated are, to put it mildly, shit, addressing them en masse would be the most productive use of time. For clearly bad-faith, ill-advised nominees (i.e. we had ones for Bumblebee and Soundwave last month), then obviously such a generic message wouldn't be used. But for the record, my comment was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, an observation on the sameness of most of these articles. Tarc (talk) 16:41, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment Added another non-licensed, third party book that had a paragraph describing Chase and the Throttlebots release in 1987 and what features the toys had. Mathewignash (talk) 22:40, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
