The result was redirect to Cobra (G.I. Joe). No consensus about whether or what to merge - that's now for the editorial process to figure out.  Sandstein  21:17, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Dreadnoks

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No indication this toy line related to a fictional military organization (from a game/action product series) passes WP:NFICTION/WP:GNG. Pure WP:PLOT+WP:OR. Was redirected before but redirect was challenge. A merge was suggested but no discussion was started nor target suggested in edit summary, and most content is referenced.

 * Redirect to Cobra_(G.I._Joe), where they are already covered, as a plausible search term. As the vast majority of the content here is in-universe plot information, largely sourced only to primary material, I am not seeing anything worth merging, but the history will be intact if anybody else finds anything worthwhile to transfer over.

 * Keep or merge to Cobra (G.I. Joe) per above comments since there are WP:RS to retain, per WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD. BOZ (talk) 02:56, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge to Cobra (G.I. Joe). Information contained within the article is not solely based on the toy line of the same name. Information contained within is based off of the comic books, multiple TV series, and films. Most, if not all the references are to those comic books which were published decades ago. I restored this article as there was no consensus for the redirect and the redirect went to a fictional character which is a part of the subject matter of the article. It does not make sense to delete the article fifteen years after its creation if the information is properly referenced and should be preserved. — Mr Xaero   ☎️ 23:52, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The fact that most, if not all of the references, are comics, the TV show and the movies is kind of the issue. None of those are actually considered to be reliable, secondary sources that can be used to establish notability.  Rorshacma (talk) 00:37, 17 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Cobra_(G.I._Joe), article fails GNG, as it is is sourced mostly to primary sources, with only one secondary source that is used to back up in-universe information. The vast majority of this article is in-universe information, with only one paragraph not written in an in-universe style, and that paragraph is referenced to a primary source.

 * Keep or Merge to the factions section of Cobra. As for it's members, they will have to be listed under the List of Cobra characters like the Iron Grenadiers members. --Rtkat3 (talk) 20:23, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
