  • This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 14:32, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Smerge the stuff attributable to He-Man.org interview. The fansite oafe.net does not seem a reliable source as I explained in another AfD for this series. Pcap ping 06:09, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Non-notable characater, lacks real-world notability and non-trivial coverage from reliable third party sources. (Fansites are generally not considered to be reliable sources.) JBsupreme (talk) 16:39, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or merge adequately. An examination of the article proposed to merge to is the sort of merge that gives insufficient information, and is not adequate. It would be better to keep that to lose information in this fashion--information that is verifiable, being based as it should be on the fiction itself. DGG ( talk ) 05:54, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • He-man.org is not a reliable source as it is a fansite WP:FANSITE and its been debated whether its reliable [1] and neither is Oafe.com [2] or for that matter, mattycollector.com [3]

  • Keep as this one is particular memorable (yes, I even had/have...it somewhere and definitely thought it cool as a child as I am sure many other did too!). We can see that he is real and from a notable franchise. No reason exists (I don't like it is not a real reason) for not following WP:BEFORE and WP:PRESERVE. We do not need to at worst protect the public from redirects with edit history intact. Sincerely, --A NobodyMy talk 23:56, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

  • The issue is has not whether I like the subject or not. The issue I have is that there is no reliable sources found to verify notability. Plus you and many who have argued that such in this case that it has sources but have not specified which one is of any use. You and many inclusionist seem to ignore "The main purpose of the requirement to have all articles and information contained within sourced (WP:V) is to prove that everything is true and accurate. But the mere existence does not automatically make a subject worthy of inclusion." Dwanyewest (talk) 03:26, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You don't like it, otherwise you wouldn't be trying so hard to destroy it. WP:V has been met, it a policy which is required. The other thing you link to is just an essay, someone's opinion, anyone able to make those things, and they not mattering at all since no matter what it is, there is always an essay somewhere that says the exact opposite.

  • Keep By spending a few brief moments clicking the Google News search at the top of the AFD, and changing the() to "", I got nine results. [4] The first is coverage of the toy in Action Figure Insider. [5] Gainesville Sun - Dec 2, 1984 listed it as one of the toys that were so popular they were selling out, having a picture of it in their article. "Only the luckiest Santas will bag the season's top toys" [6]. Dream Focus 07:19, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to the character list Despite being an extremely minor character, the sources which have come to light here can be used to tie some real-world information to the character's entry on the characters list. What's verifiable, not excessive plot detail etc. etc. certainly doesn't require an individual article though. Someoneanother 20:04, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Redirect to List of Masters of the Universe characters. Article has no encyclopedic text. Blast Ulna (talk) 16:21, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete for lack of coverage in secondary sources. Redirect if you want, but there is no Jitsu disambiguation page. "Masters of the Universe" in the name means that that is where lookers will look anyway. --Bejnar (talk) 01:32, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
