Tackle (Transformers)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This character does not establish notability independent of Transformers through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of plot details better suited to Wikia. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so extended coverage is unnecessary.

Merge to List of Transformers: Victory characters. Switched my opinion to merge, it will help the character page with the sources. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 21:15, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article has good sources, and is notable. Mathewignash (talk) 02:04, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This Transformer is not notable. The sources are all either primary or unreliable. Article is a NOTPLOT violation. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 19:03, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Deletion should be avoided if at all possible if you can merge or redirect a page to another, per WP:Before C4, you should at least consider merging it to List of Transformers: Victory characters. Mathewignash (talk) 13:44, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of Transformers: Victory characters. This fictional character does not have notability independent of Transformers. The sources offered include fan pages, newsgroup posts, and primary sources. This is not sufficient to establish notability. Deletion is also acceptable, but I agree that merging is preferable.

Merge to List of Transformers: Victory characters. The sources do not establish out-of-universe notability. As part of the group of characters, a mention and a redirect to said group's list is appropriate, however a stand-alone article is not. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 14:06, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of Transformers: Victory characters. I think that the "Toys" section might count as real world information, but there isn't enough of it to warrant a stand-alone article. I would support keeping this if reliable references can be found for that section and some reviews of the toys or of the character are added. --Jpcase (talk) 21:50, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Merge – third-party reliable sources are not provided for notability beyond the various in-universe world of the fictional transformers themselves. N2e (talk) 19:03, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
