Fails WP:GNG. An unhealthy dose of original research as well. Lacking in credible sources. Donald Schroeder JWH018 (talk) 21:43, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - The article is currently being improved and has pleanty of sources. Mathewignash (talk) 21:45, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • All of which are either trivial mentions, primary, or refer to the main character Starscream (Transformers). Black Kite (t) (c) 00:18, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep or Merge it needs improvement if merged. It should be to Starscream (Transformers) but if this kept to it needs fancruft taken. Dwanyewest (talk) 21:51, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and merge with relevant character lists per Schroeder's arguments. If certain character lists aren't available, then create them. Sarujo (talk) 22:23, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Merge and delete is not a valid AFD outcome. riffic (talk) 08:59, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Totally baffled by this strange page. It's not an article and it's not even an independent non-article. Apparently it's a subpage of ... of ... a disambiguation page??? Hans Adler 23:48, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Starscream (Transformers), having this as a separate page is frankly ludicrous. They're the same character. It could actually be speedied under A10. Black Kite (t) (c), 00:16, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to Starscream (Transformers) and excise uncitable content in the process. Jclemens (talk) 03:44, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment BANNAD SOCK PUPPET NOMINATION - This whole deletion nomination was created by a banned sock puppet, and should be ended based on that, a REAL nomination could then be made if someone legitmate wants to make one. Mathewignash (talk) 08:07, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Book sources and fansites are of poor quality.[1]. Dwanyewest (talk) 00:15, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to original Starscream page. Although, Beast Wars II Starscream shouldn't be here, so that section can be removed entirely. TransTech and Shattered Glass Starscream don't deserve their own sections, being fan club and convention stuff. At most, each of those two should get one sentence. NotARealWord (talk) 14:16, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge would be good addition to Starscream page. 71.255.55.63 (talk) 17:13, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Article was nominated by a blocked sockpuppet user. --Alpha Quadrant ^talk 19:20, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Note: This article has been nominated for rescue. Alpha Quadrant ^talk 19:25, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Article was nominated for rescue. Hans Adler 22:47, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and don't redirect to Starscream (Transformers). Excessively crufty. SnottyWong ^talk 22:59, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - Um, isn't that WP:MAD? NotARealWord (talk) 14:51, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep A notable character with so much information that it was a valid content split from the main article. Too long to merge. If the notability of the main article is proven, then the side article to hold the spell off is fine. Many appearances in toylines, comics, cartoons, etc. over the years, in many notable series. Dream Focus 00:59, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - Just because there's a lot of information, doesn't mean that all of it belongs here. This page has examples of what kind of info doesn't belong. NotARealWord (talk) 06:48, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
