The result was delete. Content needs to be sourced if there is to be a merge. consensus is this isn't sourced so delete is the policy based argument. No objection to a redirect going in later.

WP:BEFORE search turns up action figure sales sites, fansites, user-generated databases, etc. The best merge/redirect target is also up for deletion, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dreadnoks. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Monkeywrench (G.I. Joe) is also a related discussion. Hog Farm (talk) 22:43, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply

Merge either to
Dreadnoks or to Cobra (G.I. Joe)#Factions if the AFD on that article closes as a merge there. BOZ (talk) 23:27, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply

Delete, article fails GNG, as it is sourced entirely to primary sources, it fails
WP:PLOT, as it is written from an entirely in-universe perspective, there is nothing to merge anywhere, and there is no suitable redirect target. Devonian Wombat (talk) 00:01, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply

Delete per Devonian Wombat. A minor fictional character, whose article has no information sourced to reliable, secondary sources. Searching for sources also turns up nothing substantial in reliable sources. The character is not important enough to even mention in other articles, and there is no reliably sourced information to merge. Rorshacma (talk) 01:01, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to
Dreadnoks (or Cobra (G.I. Joe)#Factions if that discussion ends up as a merge). List of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero action figures might be a suitable target for consideration as well. As an aside, I really enjoy the juxtaposition of Hog Farm nominating Road Pig for deletion. Is there some Freudian message there? Argento Surfer (talk) 13:12, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply

Delete No compelling evidence that this needs to be merged, as it's entirely non-notable fancruft and is not a pertinent search term.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 12:47, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Cobra (G.I. Joe)#Factions if the topic is mentioned there (with ref), delete if it is not. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:15, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as having no out of universe content or notability. Sergecross73 msg me 16:47, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
