Let's get this out there first: it is a horse with no speaking role. Sigh. Anyway. The usual: the coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. PROD removed by a WP:SPA using edit summary "Laughable! This is an important article!" who is clearly not here to WP:BTE (90% of edits of this account are limited to PRO template removals). Anyway, as I said above, the sources are very poor, plot summaries in niche listings of characters, etc. And yes, the current article cites an encyclopedia: [1], but as you can see following the link to Amazon preview (which may require signing in, but it is free, I mean, who doesn't have an Amazon account...), that character (animal...) doesn't have a dedicared entry, it just merits a passing plot summary mention (no analysis) in the entry for She-Ra. I can't think of anything better to do here than to redirect this to List of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe characters. It was a cute entry while it lasted here, I guess? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:20, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect although the better option might be a slight merge to She-Ra since the two characters seem to be so connected. I'll defer to someone with more knowledge of the He-Man universe. Also, there is no need for the snark in the nomination. Leave out the personal opinion. Rhino131 (talk) 10:22, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. This is She-Ra's steed, of course it is notable. Many shows, many toys produced, many discussions on its importance. The nominator just copy-pasted his same nomination everywhere, without any real analysis of the significance of the monumental importance of this article to the Masters of the Universe.IQNQ (talk) 13:56, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Assertions of WP:ITSIMPORTANT, WP:ITSNOTABLE, etc. are not a very good argument. The WP:SPA above copy-pasted the same argument to all the AfDs in which they used the same dePROD summary. Try again. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here}

• Merge & Redirect to List of She-Ra: Princess of Power and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power characters#Swift_Wind - The She-Ra series actually have their own, distinct character list, and Swift Wind is already covered there, so that would be the place for a redirect and any potential merging, not the Masters of the Universe list. Aside from that correction, though, I agree with most of the above. There are plenty of mentions of the character in sources about She-Ra, but very little of that coverage is on the horse himself. The character list already covers him pretty sufficiently, but as that entry is currently unsourced, some of the brief sources included in this current article should be moved over.

• Redirect as a compromise. Subject does not have third party sources to meet the WP:GNG and deletion is a valid outcome here. Shooterwalker (talk) 03:15, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment (without wanting to pre-empt the outcome of this discussion) given that there may be a consensus to redirect, we may need to decide which target to redirect the page to. I've changed my vote per Rorshacma's rationale. ~dom Kaos~ (talk)
