Dead End (Transformers)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Fictional character that appears not to pass WP:GNG, sources are all primary, no individual notability asserted. Normally would merge to character list, but no list appears to exist. Black Kite (t) (c) 22:54, 15 September 2010 (UTC) Black Kite (t) (c) 22:54, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep, major Transformers character. Adding sources. Mathewignash (talk) 01:52, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Despite assertations of importance, no reliable, independent aources either presented in article, or found online, to assert notability. Skinny87 (talk) 07:09, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails GNG. Sorely lacking in notability or educational value. Donald Schroeder JWH018 (talk) 21:52, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - the above VOTE is from a BLOCKED sock puppet and should probably be ignored (sorry, the nomination was completely valid!, I pasted my orignal comment in the wrong place, I hope it's okay if I remove it.) Mathewignash (talk) 17:24, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete I'm having trouble even finding these assertations of importance. Indeed the article implies several times this is not an important character: "not a major character in the comics", "not appearing in any [Fun Publications] fiction", "little is known about him so far" "does not appear in the film" ...and so on. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  22:55, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * That line in the Fun Publications section is meant to just say he was talked about in one comic story, he didn't appear. Fun Publications is a smaller company with less than dozen issues so far. Lots of characters have NOT appeared in Fun Publications comics. I just added that line because he was mentioned in that last issue, but hasn't appeared yet in books by that company. He DID appear in many stories by Marvel Comics, Dreamwave and IDW, companies who produce many Transformers stories. Mathewignash (talk) 18:41, 17 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - More fanboy-cruft to sift though. Game guides, toy guides, fan forums and the like are not reliable sources sufficient to pass the WP:GNG. Tarc (talk) 01:27, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - The article is about a bunch of different characters that don't have much in common besides name. NotARealWord (talk) 05:49, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - No assertion of notability whatsoever. --Divebomb (talk) 11:57, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * IGNORE MY ABOVE VOTE. Redirect to Stunticon. --Divebomb (talk) 14:20, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep -- has had several incarnations across multiple series. --Polaron | Talk 18:10, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete no sources that are adequate to WP:verify notability. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:34, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
