Crowbar (Transformers)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fictional character that does not appear to have enough significant third-party comment for independent notability. Black Kite (t) (c) 00:17, 3 July 2011 (UTC) Black Kite (t) (c) 00:17, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep or Merge to Characters_in_Transformers:_Dark_of_the_Moonper WP:BEFORE #5, which should have been done by the nominator of the article. A cast page for the movie he is currently appearing in.Mathewignash (talk) 01:40, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

 * delete or merge No independent sources have significant coverage of this particular transformer. It is not notable.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by HominidMachinae (talk • contribs) 23:36, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - No reliably sourced coverage to support claim of notability. In-world cruft is insufficient. Tarc (talk) 03:01, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep All this article needs are few experts on the subject that are willing to clean it up to Wiki standards. Yapool Seijin (talk) 16:10, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
 * "Experts on the subject" cannot magically create reliable sources to satisfy notability concerns. Minor toys do not see much coverage outside of product catalogs and fan websites. Tarc (talk) 16:28, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
 * LOL! --Transformers Belong Here (talk) 05:36, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per User:Yapool Seijin. --Transformers Belong Here (talk) 05:36, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete- No sources are provided beyond primary sources and toy catalogues, and I can't find anything more substantial. This is insufficient to satisfy notability concerns. Tarc is right; it is no good to claim some "expert" is going to wave his wand and magically turn this fancrufty article about a trivial fictional character into something resembling an encyclopedia article. Not without proper sources. Reyk  YO!  07:44, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: No evidence that the fictional character has been significantly covered as a topic in multiple reliable secondary sources independent of the subject to presume that it is a suitable topic per the general notability guideline. As with other similar articles, it is not a plausible term and the content is barely referenced, so a redirect or a merge are not warranted. Jfgslo (talk) 23:48, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
