 * Delete, or if valid references can be found for any of the unsourced content that has been removed from the article, merge that content to the relevant section in List of Robotboy characters (which is itself completely unreferenced). Deor (talk) 20:31, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Lots of references found for this notable character. If you didn't find references it is only because you didn't look. I have now started to add references to the body of the article, but it doesn't help when editors keep deleting the content. That is not the proper way to conduct ones' self during an AfD.

 * Merge to Robotboy or to List of Robotboy characters. I appreciate that Innerverse has added references to content that originally seems to have been drawn by other people watching TV, but only one of these refers to the character in something other than context of the TV show itself (the DragoArt website that has tutorials about how to draw different cartoon characters).   Hence, I don't see that the character should have a separate article.  Mandsford 13:23, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Google news and Google book search(Contemporary Theatre, Film & Television‎ - Page 272) find it mentioned.  I don't think you can talk about the series without mentioning the main character in this particular series.   D r e a m Focus  23:05, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I know it's futile to ask, but which of those Google hits, exactly, do you consider to be substantive sources about the character Robotboy, rather than the series? Deor (talk) 23:21, 3 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect per Mandsford. Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 20:30, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge into Robotboy. It's pretty clear that the show is notable, but that the character has no notability outside it. Reyk  YO!  23:52, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
