Notability for this particular subset of characters is not established. The references are used to cite trivial details, so they currently possess no worth. TTN (talk) 20:48, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: A quick note that List of Transformers: The Headmasters characters may be worth cross-referencing as part of this debate. KaisaL (talk) 02:28, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - the headmaster subgroup is notable and worth its own article, but not this article. It would be easier to start from scratch than to try and salvage this. Argento Surfer (talk) 15:21, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge to Transformers. BOZ (talk) 02:53, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as above. I would not necessarily be opposed to a merge, but it's not clear to me what here is worth merging or that Transformers would be a particularly good target. I'm open to being convinced, though. Josh Milburn (talk) 21:03, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to one of the Lists of Transformers characters, whichever is most appropriate. ansh 666 02:11, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect - This particular article is a mostly un-salvageable mess of fancruft, whose sources are just fan pages and forum posts, that doesn't even attempt to show any sort of notability. However, as both Transformers: The Headmasters and The Transformers: Headmasters exist as articles on series with those names, this namespace could be useful as a redirect to one of those two articles.  Some of the information in this article could potentially be merged into various other Transformers related articles as appropriate, but since none of it is backed up by any reliable sources, I'd be wary about doing so.  64.183.45.226 (talk) 21:20, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete- The available sourcing is very poor and verifies only some of the more trivial factoids in the article. The rest of it is an unmanageable, sprawling morass of fancruft. Merging any of this stuff into other articles would only make those articles worse, even if a proper target could be identified. Reyk  YO!  09:08, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: One option would be to redirect this to head master (a dab page) and list the various Transformers series noted by the anonymous user above on that page. I remain convinced that there is no need for an article about this particular character, though. Josh Milburn (talk) 07:48, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete and Redirect as there's been consensus these subjects are not substantially significant and notable for encyclopedia articles, nothing to suggest anything otherwise convincing. SwisterTwister   talk  07:52, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
