The result was delete. The actual page has no reliable sources so the delete votes have the ascendency. The creation of a disambiguation page for notable toys that have a page is an editorial decision that has no bearing on this discussion Spartaz Humbug! 20:30, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fictional character with no reliable sources claiming any notability, not to mention a non-free image violation. Black Kite (t) (c) 00:56, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - The character itself may not be notable, but the toy of the character is, which would be valid content under this article. As far as I can tell the sites TFW2005 and Tformers are both reliable and independent, which means that the following articles are sufficient to pass WP:N: here, here, and here (among others). If I'm wrong about the reliability of the sites then let me know and I'll amend my vote accordingly. - DustFormsWords (talk) 02:19, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Change to a disambig page - Since there are four characters there from different anime and comic book series, I think there should be a disambig page to each of the four series character lists. Mathewignash (talk) 10:30, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Change to a disambig page I agree with this. I am not sure the sources are RS (who writes them for example). Nor do they (to my mind) establish notability.Slatersteven (talk) 14:10, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- What exactly would this page disambig to? Tarc (talk) 14:31, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Probably something along the lines of "Knockout (Transformers) may refer to the following: A Mini-Con truck from Transformers: Energon who is the partner of Ultra Magnus, a Decepticon Motorcycle from the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen toy line"... etc. With links to any relivant pages. 198.51.174.5 (talk) 15:22, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - what notability do any of these several different characters have? A toy, by itself, does not make for notability. And multiple non-notable characters do not add up to enough notability for their to be a page here. --Khajidha (talk) 20:17, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
