Redirect to Transformers: Generation 2 (comics). Not notable outside of this comic book. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:28, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete -- not notable. No need to preserve the article history, as it is largely uncited original research; what's cited is trivia sourced to blogs, fan pages, in-universe publications and other unsuitable sources. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:53, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and oppose redirect as implausible in terms of traffic. DrStrauss talk 15:54, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Transformers:_Generation_2_(comics)#Cybertronian_Empire. I see no policy-based reason not to redirect. Low traffic is irrelevant since this is a potential search term and it makes sense to allow people to find where it belongs. Regards SoWhy 11:39, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep I was originally going to support a redirect, but the character seems to have enough of a presence in the Transformers universe, and even has its own toy. The amount of time that goes into planning, die casting, packaging and distributing these toys suggests that the character is not insignificant. There's lots of fancruft on Wikipedia - but it is part of popular culture so we shouldn't poo-poo it. TimTempleton ^{(talk) (cont)} 18:19, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Uh... nearly every Transformer character gets a toy. It's primarily a toyline, after all. The toy itself (there's only been one) actually took very little time to plan - it's a different paint scheme on mold that had previously released three other times.

Sounds like you're more up on this than I am. It's too bad there aren't sales figures to see which ones are more popular than others - that might help also as a gauge of notability. TimTempleton ^{(talk) (cont)} 19:45, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If I recall correctly, this toy was exclusive to KB Toys (That's the only place I could find it, anyway), so sales would be skewed downward if they were available. There are some polls showing favorite/most wanted/etc characters, but Jiaxus usually isn't on them and they're reliability is questionable. Argento Surfer (talk) 19:57, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as above, or merge/redirect if a suitable target can be identified (redirects are cheap, and it's not like this title is needed for anything else). I'm not sure I follow Timtempleton's reasoning. Josh Milburn (talk) 00:04, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
