Fails WP:GNG through lack of substantial coverage in reliable sources. Sources currently in the article are yojoe.com, which appears to be an unreliable action figure database, an "official" GI Joe book (primary source), and the comics themselves. A WP:BEFORE search brings up toy sites, action figure databases, and sundry other unreliable sources. Not every action figure in GI Joe needs an article.

Delete, no redirect. It's a non-notable fictional airplane/plot device. Nate • (chatter) 20:25, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. The subject is about a non-negotiable fictional device. Abishe (talk) 02:34, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero vehicles per WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD. BOZ (talk) 02:54, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not discussed in third party sources as something notable - all the sources are general GI Joe guides. --Prosperosity (talk) 12:48, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per BOZ. BubbaJoe123456 (talk) 13:58, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and others. A non-notable fictional vehicle/toy. There are no reliable sources that discuss it in any way that would pass the WP:GNG. The proposed merge target, itself, is a violation of WP:NOT, as it is basically a toy catalog, so merging there would not be helpful. Rorshacma (talk) 16:09, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete — Basically what Hog Farm said. Celestina007 (talk) 22:40, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
