~~Yet more Gobots fancruft to go through. A YouTube video, a link to a Transformers fansite and a patent is not enough to establish notability. Delete. Divebomb (talk) 09:16, 9 October 2010 (UTC)~~[reply]

Keep or Redirect - TUrbo was one of the stars of the Gobots show. He does have one magazine reference. We just started having this talk on the page for Small Foot. There is a perfectly acceptable list of character started at Challenge_of_the_GoBots that all these minor character could redirected to. Deletion is unnecessary.

Redirect to Challenge_of_the_GoBots#Characters per WP:BEFORE. --Malkinann (talk) 00:04, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify this, per Wikipedia:Deletion_process#Process, I feel the page history should be retained for the possible creation of a future List of Gobots characters, which would contain this character and others from Category:Gobots. --Malkinann (talk) 06:28, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I added another book reference to Turbo in the Gobots movie. Mathewignash (talk) 01:20, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with the other GoBots character articles into a List of GoBots characters like other ficional universes have (such as Transformers, the thing this is most like). 76.66.200.95 (talk) 05:05, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Challenge_of_the_GoBots#Characters per WP:BEFORE or delete. Dwanyewest (talk) 06:00, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - While the other Gobots artricles are VERY minor characters, I wonder if Turbo belongs there. He was one of the three main heroes the whole series was about. He's the only one I'm hesitant to merge into a list. He does have some third-party references. Does he really belong with the likes of Spoons and Loco?

- Comment How the hell am I supposed to tell the main characters from the minor nobodies if all the articles are only sourced to YouTube videos or fansites? --Divebomb (talk) 14:25, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Answer Possibly from the three other citations in the article from books/magazines? The article itself says he is a main character appearing in every episode of the TV series and the movie. Mathewignash (talk) 16:44, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Rebuttal Most of those weren't there when I nominated the article. --Divebomb (talk) 16:30, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - That can be fixed - So vote to keep the article now if it's changed. Mathewignash (talk) 10:05, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment besides there is insufficent third person sources to show that that the character is notable. Dwanyewest (talk) 16:12, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as suggestd by Dwaynewest --Khajidha (talk) 14:57, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
