 * Delete. This article is probably about as good as an article on this character could get, but TTN is quite right that it fails to establish notability. I wouldn't be opposed to a merge/redirect if there was an appropriate target, but this topic does not warrant its own article. Josh Milburn (talk) 20:58, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep AGFing that 4 offline references are sufficient. Has anyone actually read them? Failing that, a merge should be the default for verifiable, non-notable content that is part of a larger topic. Jclemens (talk) 21:05, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The first two references are primary. The third and fourth, though potentially reliable, are used only to cite that a toy existed; certainly not enough to ground the notability of the topic. I'm not sure I understand what AGF has to do with it. (I'm not opposed to a merge, if an appropriate target can be found.) Josh Milburn (talk) 21:39, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Redirect to Transformers: Generation 2 or delete. The listed sources verify that it exists, but I don't see how that's significant coverage.  There doesn't seem to be anything better indexed by Google, either.  Google Books results are the usual price guides and novels, and Google Web search is fan sites.  These random Transformers characters would be better written about at Wikia. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 09:17, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'm not sure I see the value of a redirect to a page that doesn't even mention the character, but I suppose I'm not strictly opposed to it. Josh Milburn (talk) 20:38, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, there's always List of Autobots. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:27, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect* - To List of Autobots. The character isn't an especially notable character, even within the fictional Transformers universe, and the lack of any real information or sources outside of proving the existence of the toy is evidence of this.  The List of Autobots seems like the more appropriate place to redirect, as the character is already listed there.  64.183.45.226 (talk) 18:21, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete and then Redirect as there's been consensus that Transformers, unlike Wikia, are not acceptable for their own article and are not convincing of having any other substance for an actual encyclopedia article. SwisterTwister   talk  07:37, 9 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Selective Merge/Redirect to High Beam (Transformers), which presently has no mention of the topic. This will improve the latter article. North America1000 13:00, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
