Iacon

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

Notability tagged since June 2007. Not notable. See, for example,, which links to sunglasses retailer Iacon (which operates 40 US mall-based stores). There does not appear to be enough reliable, third-party published sources independent of Iacon on the fictional planet Cybertron and with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy to maintain an independent article on this topic. -- Suntag  ☼  08:00, 27 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge - Certainly not notable but it can be merged to Cybertron.--SkyWalker (talk) 08:11, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge A city in a fictional universe isn't very likely to give scholar or news links and it's probably not suitable to have a separate article, but Skywalker is right, it is very mergeable. - Mgm|(talk) 08:45, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge sourced content; if not enough there to make it worthwhile, Redirect. No out-of-universe notability. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 08:55, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk  ) 19:10, 1 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - the Transformers franchise is huge, and has existed in many different types of media across several generations. Wikipedia is full of in-universe concepts, and there's nothing wrong with that. The lack of scholarly sources is not surprising. Wikipedia is not the Encyclopedia Britannica. At least redirect Iacon to Cybertron and merge some of the text. - Richard Cavell (talk) 21:32, 1 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Create article for the retailer and then leave a hatnote at the top. Raymie Humbert (TrackerTV) (receiver, archives) 21:41, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

 * or per consensus above. Tohd8BohaithuGh1 (talk) 10:10, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, there is no notability policy. If you knew anything about the Transformers franchise, you would know that this fictional city is notable for being the home of the Autobots. I'd like to know what third-party sources Suntag considers to have reputations for fact-checking and accuracy. If the article is not kept, it can still be merged into Cybertron. --Pixelface (talk) 16:38, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
