Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Santon (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 delete. Although numerically this is a toss-up between delete and merge, I note that one of the 'merge's would "support deletion", and that the only policy/guideline quoting is by the deletion camp. On the whole, the consensus would appear to be to delete this article, as having no reliable sources to verify the information -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 09:28, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Topic not notable enough for own article. Was voted for deletion some time ago. NotARealWord (talk) 13:37, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Selectively merge the supported content to some appropriate page such as List of characters in Transformers comics. Cnilep (talk) 17:42, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge back to an appropriate page like Beast Wars Second. Mathewignash (talk) 23:36, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - If a merge is better, then I think Beast Wars II is the appropriate page to merge it with. NotARealWord (talk) 08:11, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - comparing the old Afd and page's history], it seems like this article was deleted previously but User:Mathewignash unnecessarily recreated it. Maybe this needs to be protected from recreation or something. NotARealWord (talk) 13:07, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment It lacked good references before. I gave it some more, tried re-writing it into a better article, but sadly it still may still fall short of notability. That's why I am voting against keeping it now. Mathewignash (talk) 01:08, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Its been shown time and time again the so called "sources" on this and many other Transformers articles are unreliable :See "Reliable sources for Transformers" Dwanyewest (talk) 01:45, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge I would support deletion since there are no sources to WP:verify notability. But my main !vote is merge for the sake of building a consensus. Hopefully the closer of this discussion will be able to find one. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:25, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:FICT and can't be verified with WP:RS, anyway. We can't include pages that can't be verified by independent sources. — Chromancer ^talk/_cont 19:14, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
