This article asserts zero notability through reliable sources, and is simply and in-universe repetition of the plot sections of various Dragon Ball articles. As such, it is duplicative and trivial, and should be deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 22:23, 8 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep The information in the article is far from duplicative/repetitive, and "zero" notability is just a rediculos exaggeration. Seems necessary for adequate coverage of Dragon Ball as a series, and a merge would be impractical.-- Koji †  00:00, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:FICT, element of fiction for which I could not find any reliable source showing it is notable separately from Dragon Ball.--Boffob (talk) 01:50, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete As per the only keep vote saying it's notable necessary to cover Dragon Ball as a series. Strongly suggests this should be included in Dragon Ball and provides no support for why this subject is notable other than "impracticality" of doing the suggested and appropriate merge.

 * Alright, maybe I had a few. So sue me. :-/ -- Koji †  15:04, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge to Saiyan Despite the opinions of ignorant deletionists, this topic is a notable recurring element in the Dragon Ball franchise and should be covered somewhere for the sake of a more complete understanding of the series. And if someone tried hard enough, they probably could find third party sources that talk about this. - Norse Am Legend (talk) 22:29, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Saiyan. Not deserving of its own article, but it is an important subject in the series, and the information needs to be on here somewhere.kuwabaratheman (talk) 01:10, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Chainsaw and merge with Saiyan. Jonny2x4 (talk) 15:11, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * On a related note, I suggest to chainsaw both, Saiyan and Super Saiyan, and merge the latter into the former. Jonny2x4 (talk) 15:16, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per all versions of WP:FICT to Saiyan. —Quasirandom (talk) 17:02, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not assert notability with real world context in reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. Jay32183 (talk) 08:46, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
