Zor (Robotech)

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

I originally prodded this article under the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) and Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) requirement.". It was deprodded by User:Knowledgekid87 who in edit summary stated "I disagree with the lack of notability given the sources here", without any further elaboration. Perhaps he will provide it here, as I still believe my original concern is valid. While the article has 25 footnotes, all seem to be from primary sources. There is no critical reception section, and the character concept section is unreferenced/based on primary sources (=OR). This article is an excellent example of stuff that is better covered on Robotech wikia. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 16:58, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

* Delete Isn't there a Robotech wikia this kind of stuff can go into? Truth to the Fourth Power (talk) 22:10, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Needs in-depth third-party sourcing, not YouTube links. --DAJF (talk) 00:04, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't see significant coverage in reliable sources. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:03, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No coverage in reliable sources to support notability. Refs are all either not from RS or are primary sources. ^BE _CK ^Y _SA ^{Y L}E _S 02:11, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I agree that notability hasn't been established based on our guidelines here, but luckily, as OP points out, Robotech wikia does (or can do) a fine job covering the character. Though that article may not be as comprehensive in the "concept" department as this one. AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 10:29, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
