Non-notable Transformers character. I looked for sources and didn't find any reliable ones. Trivial listcruft/fancruft at best. RobJ1981 (talk) 06:41, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Tailgate should have exchanged his walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage. Then he might have been notable. Gigs (talk) 14:23, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It's a good start, and Tailgate is a notable character. Mathewignash (talk) 16:24, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How is he notable? Sources need to back up your claim of "notable", otherwise the article isn't notable. RobJ1981 (talk) 21:15, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to The Transformers (animated series) characters. Not a significant character in terms of being important to advancing the plot of the series in which he appears. --Polaron | Talk 23:24, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete there is not any merge potential in this article much less notability. 97.115.129.240 (talk) 03:41, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to The Transformers (animated series) characters, not a notable enough character to have their own article, but still worth a mention for the sake of completeness. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 12:25, 20 September 2009 (UTC).[reply]
Delete. Non-notable, no significant coverage. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 19:37, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
