Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scrapper (Transformers) (2nd nomination)


 * 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 redirect to List_of_The_Transformers_(TV_series)_characters, where Scrapper is already listed. Lots of crufty info in this article that will not be lost to the universe after the redirect, because there is no shortage of well-attended Transformers fan wikis. I am IAR and closing this up despite the recent relist, as third relists are an extraordinary measure that shouldn't be deployed for relatively uncontroversial topics like this one. #StopTheRelistingMadness.

This does not establish notability. There was really nothing put forth in the previous AfD, so not sure why that ended up as a keep result. The "Top 10 Reasons to Skip Work and Go See Transformers 2" is extremely trivial and doesn't even mention the character by name. Everything else is either primary or does not assist in establishing notability. TTN (talk) 20:11, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Please ping the participants of the prev. AfD!
 * Keep or merge to List of Decepticons. BOZ (talk) 22:33, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Decepticons. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:31, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge, redirect or delete as above. No need for this article. Josh Milburn (talk) 21:13, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Winged Blades Godric  05:59, 7 July 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Pinging Since the previous merge/redirect target no longer exists, keep or merge/redirect somewhere else?
 * Redirect to List of Decepticons; the coverage offered is shallow and not sufficient for stand-alone notability. The article is largely unsourced original research and trivia. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:23, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep because List of Decepticons has been a redirect to Lists of Transformers characters since July 1, so "redirect" would just be a circuitous way of saying delete. - GretLomborg (talk) 01:48, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Maybe Talk:Lists of Transformers characters needed a longer discussion before it was closed and implemented by its sole responder? BOZ (talk) 12:25, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: One more time
 * Since I was asked by name: I don't really mind, but let's try to avoid this article sticking around for another 12 years. Josh Milburn (talk) 22:35, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge, delete and redirect to a "list of transformers" article. There is no in-depth character analysis. Therefore this subject is unsuitable for a standalone article as per the WP:GNG. AadaamS (talk) 07:03, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete or merge to Constructicons. There is no significant content focused on the subject.  Nor is notability indicated.--Rpclod (talk) 22:58, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to one of the list articles mentioned above, it doesn't matter which. This is a minor fictional character with no real-life notoriety. Not sure why this has been relisted 3 times when the consensus against keeping is clear. ValarianB (talk) 19:01, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
