The result was   keep. Seems that certain notability is established. Still, the article needs a heavy cleanup but AfD is not a place to discuss this. Tone 16:51, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Hypno-Disc

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article about a robot on the TV series Robot Wars. Some of the more notable robots, such as series winners, have entries, but this one did not achieve any success. The article is merely a list of contests summarised from the Robot Wars website. Black Kite 19:29, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Hmmm it's not just the big winners that have their own entries though - this robot's runner-up and two fourth places is better than, say Roadblocks. Failing that it can be put in the List of Minor Robot Wars robots. I must admit, I have no idea of the notability criteria for robots.... Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 19:52, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I would have redirected this article to that one, but unfortunately that article is up for deletion as well, and looks like it will be deleted. Black Kite 01:14, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I dunno then, I'm inclined to think that if that article gets deleted this one should stay.....on another note I didn't realise there was a Robot Wars wiki :D  Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 01:25, 7 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep: This is one of the most memorable robots on Robot Wars and since Storm 2 has its own page and it was only in 1 series (and yet was not a champion), its only right that Hypno-disc gets its own page due to the fact its been a grand finalist too. In fact I recomend giving pages to all Grand Finalists The C of E (talk) 20:04, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Not only was this the most memorable bot of the show's entire history. (It's the only one I remember), the claim "Hypno-Disc was the first competitor robot recreated in toy form when the Robot Wars pullback toys were released." is a significant claim of notability. Do indiscriminate list of reports on the fights the bot was in needs to go, though, as they are not encyclopedic and impossible to reference. Better to link to a website carrying the information instead. - Mgm|(talk) 11:27, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * That toy sounds like the most dangerous thing ever invented - pull-back-and-go with that blade haha. I want one. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 11:37, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well it does have links to its fights (or some of them at least) The C of E (talk) 15:19, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep one of the first robots to use the kinetic flywheel weapon, The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique pohick (talk) 11:23, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
