Sideways (Transformers)

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

Non-notable fictional character sourced only to primary sources and thus fails WP:GNG. A merge to a minor characters list is usually appropriate here but none appears to exist. Black Kite (t) (c) 23:53, 3 September 2010 (UTC) Black Kite (t) (c) 23:53, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Major character in a recent notable film. Mathewignash (talk) 00:12, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Why does Black Kite hate Transformers? - Areaseven (talk) 14:21, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Its been shown time and time again the so called "sources" on this and many other Transformers articles are unreliable :See "Reliable sources for Transformers" Dwanyewest (talk) 17:45, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no reliable secondary sources exist on this subject. Blest Withouten Match (talk) 20:21, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Mathewignash, I don't think Sideways actually counts as a "major character in a recent notable film". Also, if a merge is to be done, maybe we should have a list like "List of intercontinuity Transformers characters" which would include (at least) this guy, Nexus Prime, Vector Prime, Unicron, Primus, and The Fallen.

Delete no evidence this major character in a recent notable film is itself notable. Need to WP:verify notability with third party sources which this article has not. Shooterwalker (talk) 23:03, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no real sources, no evidence of real-world notability, no nothing. The article's a mess of in-universe trivia and non-free images. J Milburn (talk) 16:43, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This one has no reliable sources at all. Maybe worth a merge if any of it's verifiable, but I doubt it. Alzarian16 (talk) 10:05, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Split the article based along the different series, merge into their respective series character lists, and convert to a disambiguation page. This character is a major antagonist in Transformers: Armada. —Farix (t | c) 22:05, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - No real-world notability asserted for a fictional character. Tarc (talk) 02:22, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
