Knock Out (Transformers: Prime)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Article is laking any WP:SIGCOV. It relies mostly on primary and CBR sources. Most are either listicles, rankings and passing mentions. WP:BEFORE shows nothing but full of trivial CBR sources. GlatorNator (ᴛ) 13:04, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing but trivial mentions from CBR. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:11, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Very weak keep. This suggests some serious commentary, once we get through the first half of the reception, which indeed is very listicle-ish. That said, this is like the only decent source I am seeing right now. Do ping me if more is found, particularly something academic would be nice. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 13:54, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
 * CBR is a content farm, they write about literally everything and actively look for the most obscure characters. A character appearing there does not indicate wider notoriety, just SEO optimization to get pageviews. If I had a nickel for everyone who breathlessly pointed to CBR/ScreenRant/GameRant as proof that  is obviously notable. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:29, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
 * It's an independent reliable source that covers this, and many other topics, in non-trivial detail. Notability != special, notability == we have enough to write a decent article about it. Your non-policy-based objection is non-encyclopedic. Jclemens (talk) 22:05, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @Zxcvbnm IMHO, CBR seems to have varying levels of content, from listicles and garbage that might as well be ChatGPT generated to decent pieces (like the one I linked). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:59, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Transformers: Prime, where he's mentioned. No indication of standalone notability at all. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:31, 22 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Redirect “very weak keep” is as good as delete, and redirects are cheap Dronebogus (talk) 11:01, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
