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. The "List of..." potential targets appears to be inadequate, as those pages (two slightly different names, seeming the same content) is just a list of wikilinks. If someone wants to expand one of those, I'll happily userfy the article to enable the content to be merged to one of those -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 22:37, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dark Side (Transformers)

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

Article about a fictional spacecraft sourced only to trivial mentions in primary sources. Fails WP:FICT and WP:GNG. Black Kite (t) (c) 18:12, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP - Since when are independent TV guide books that mention the subject considered primary? That's a bit deceptive. Mathewignash (talk) 21:03, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- That "source" wasn't even about the subject, it merely cast-listed the person who voiced the ship's computer. Black Kite (t) (c) 21:54, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As with pretty much all Transformers-related articles, fails to make an assertion of independent notability. No well-cited content to merge elsewhere [references in article merely verify plot, and fail to provide fodder for real-world consideration/treatment]. I'd be fine with an appropriate redirect target, although if the Transformers content ever is appropriately cleaned up, there will be much double-, triple-, x'iple-redirect fixing to do. --EEMIV (talk) 21:48, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge to List of Transformers spacecrafts pursuant to the guidelines of Wikipedia:Notability (fiction). Inniverse (talk) 13:35, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Note that List of Transformers spacecraft is a bare list created by User:Inniverse after this AfD began, presumably in order to avoid deletion once the AfD began. Black Kite (t) (c) 14:00, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment What exactly is wrong with creating one page for several slightly less notable but related pages to merge into? Sounds like a sound option. 198.51.174.5 (talk) 15:10, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Has some non-primary references and seems to be active. No need to rush to deletion, just tag for needing additional references. 198.51.174.5 (talk) 15:08, 27 August 2010 (UTC) Based on editing overlap, I suspect 198.51.64.5 is a sock of Mathewignash; see the IP's talk page for more[reply]
Merge to the spacecrafts list 92.17.22.20 (talk) 09:52, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of Transformers spacecrafts - not enough sources to establish enough notability to merit its own article. --StarScream107 (talk) 16:16, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the spacecraft list, or merge if someone's willing to change it into a proper content list rather than just a list of names. Alzarian16 (talk) 19:01, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
