Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Landfill (Transformers)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Clear consensus not to have an article. No consensus about where to possibly redirect or merge it to, though, and only one opinion in favor of retaining the history, so it's deletion for now. Any appropriate redirect can be created editorially.  Sandstein  10:59, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep or DISAMBIG to two pages appropriate to the characters. In this case Targetmaster and List_of_Transformers:_Robots_in_Disguise_(2001_TV_series)_characters for the two characters on the page. Mathewignash (talk) 12:54, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect. Merge any content if needed.  Avoid redlink bait to recreate the article again, preserves history if ever needed.  Montanabw (talk) 20:36, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete WP:Notadvertising   Emotive and biased with its purple prose, such as "He's generally a friendly, cheerful, hardworking, reliable fellow- what is the problem, he wonders? " and "Flintlock is a young man who was always eager for action."  Such diction is more suited for a fictional story or an advertisement, not an encyclopedia striving for neutrality. The bulk of the information is partial to the toys in question while offering virtually nothing educational or culturally significant beyond the toy's manufacture or functionality. This is product placement, not encyclopedic knowledge.--J. M. Pearson (talk) 14:19, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Autobots. The vast majority of this article is just a massive amount of in-universe fancruft.  The sources are largely unreliable, being mostly primary sources or fansites, and those that are not are merely trivial mentions that give information on the toys.  Any needed information on this article can be selectively merged to the List of Autobots, but as most of this information is unsourced, I don't really see the need for that.  64.183.45.226 (talk) 17:30, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
 * There are MUCH BETTER places to merge this article to than List of Autobots, which is simply a massive list of names. This was a character in a cartoon series, and there is a page with a list of the characters from that series, at the very least. Please stop directing Transformers to the basic LIST pages when there are other pages which are more appropriate. Mathewignash (talk) 17:54, 31 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete written in a bizarre, unencyclopedic tone (actual example sentence: "He's a veritable rolling garbage dump!") and not a notable topic anyway. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  19:20, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Targetmaster, since that's what most of the content is about. Anyone searching for the RID version will be knowledgeable enough about the subject to locate their desired content. Argento Surfer (talk) 20:38, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per above comments. Aoba47 (talk) 19:37, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
