CatSCAN

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article with no useful sources that fails WP:GNG for fictional characters. The usual plan for such non-notable characters is to redirect/merge to a minor characters list but none appears to exist. Should probably be redirected to ~~CT Scan~~X-ray computed tomography if deleted. Black Kite (t) (c) 18:33, 7 September 2010 (UTC) Black Kite (t) (c) 18:33, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- not really anything important. Not sure about redirect though. NotARealWord (talk) 18:43, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- My bad, changed target - note that CAT Scan (with the space) already redirects there. Black Kite (t) (c) 19:14, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Notable character article that just needs work. At the rate these deletionists are nominating articles, how can they expect work to be done on them! Keep and start nominating them at a sane pace. Mathewignash (talk) 21:10, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I cannot see how CatSCAN, could actually count as "notable". NotARealWord (talk) 15:56, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Just want to clarify that this article is about the character from the Transformer series and not the medical device properly known as a "CT scan". This was nominated with all the other Transformer stuff. I would suggest that if this was redirected that it be pointed to the Transformer series and not the medical device as there is almost always a space between "cat" and "scan" when refering to the medical device, as others have pointed out.

Where would it redirect to? NotARealWord (talk) 20:05, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete per nom. Fails WP:Notability (fiction). No real-world sources, not an important in-universe character. I must admit my first thought was that this AfD referred to www.cat-scan.com (long dead now, but far more significant in its time than this character - it'd have got a keep from me.)

Delete - No independent reliable sources. Fails GNG. Skinny87 (talk) 12:50, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
