Black Shadow (Transformers)

Fictional character that does not appear to have significant third-party sources to assert notability. Black Kite (t) (c) 18:07, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Merge, the page was split off from an anime series character list, List_of_Transformers:_Victory_characters#Crossformers, so if it was to go anywhere, you'd think it would merge back to it. Mathewignash (talk) 18:13, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No reliably sourced coverage to support claim of notability. In-world cruft is insufficient. Tarc (talk) 03:08, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no enough good sources although I am willing to accept a merge as a compromise but there is not enough info to justify a solo article. Dwanyewest (talk) 16:31, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete there aren't enough sources to WP:verify notability. Shooterwalker (talk) 00:52, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: As with other similar articles, there is no objective evidence that the fictional character meets the general notability guideline. The article title is not a plausible search term due to the disambiguation and the content relies on primary and tertiary sources that aren't independent of the subject, so I do not believe that either a redirect or a merge are acceptable outcomes.
