List of Transformers terms (Generation One)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

The "article" is simply a list of names and words and the variations/translations used in non-english versions of Transformers: Generation One media (like dubs). Wikipedia is not a dictionary. NotARealWord (talk) 20:04, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - It's not a dictionary, but it's an encyclopedia, and there are major articles about Transformers here, a series produced in multiple countries and multiple languages, so this helps users tell the names of characters and terms between different translations. Mathewignash (talk) 22:07, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * What? - This page simply translates names into whatever that was used in foreign dubs and such. Far less encyclopedia-worthy than Neon Genesis Evangelion glossary . NotARealWord (talk) 22:46, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

 * The other deletion discussion says options are to move it to wiktionary or to annex.wikia.com 65.94.232.153 (talk) 07:10, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Just to point out, that article was lesss dictionary-like than this one. 10:03, 24 December 2010 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by NotARealWord (talk • contribs)

 * Weak delete, it's really just a list of translations. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. J I P  &#124; Talk 15:52, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep The page is a list which complies with WP:STANDALONE and for the first generation. Although it could be more useful with recent updates, more sources and description. For any other generation, its pointless to have a list but for the first one generation. -- Takamaxa ( Talk ) 02:20, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * "For any other generation, it[']s pointless to have a list but for the first one generation." Say what? Do you mean that such a list for any other generation would be pointless? Why on Earth is that? J I P  &#124; Talk 08:33, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Takamaxa, how do you think this actually meets the WP:STANDALONE? It's not really a character list, not really a glossary. Just a few tables of words and their equivalents used in foreign dubs/translations. Seems like you didn't really read the list article and/or WP:STANDALONE.

 * Delete- this is just a list of trivia. Reyk  YO!  05:31, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete indiscriminate trivia. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Any terms that are worth explaining can be summed up in the plot summary of any of the main series articles. If it's too trivial to mention and explain in the main plot summary then it's too trivial for Wikipedia. Shooterwalker (talk) 04:46, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete It's in actuality a list of anything Transformers-related translated into foreign languages. Essentially trivia. The article title is also misleading. WesleyDodds (talk) 07:14, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
