Delete & Redirect to Krang Heavy fancruft and FANDOM material. Mentioned in the Krang article, so it could probably redirect there._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 20:14, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- I don't think it needs a redirect. You would probably need to already be a turtles fan to be searching for that in that context. -- Sirfurboy (talk) 08:13, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Very Strong Keep - The Technodrome is a majort part of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It used to be only in the Original Cartoon, the Archie Comics and the Fleetway Comics. After 2009, it has appeared in a lot of other TMNT media.J 1982 (talk) 11:16, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That argument looks like

WP:ILIKEIT. What is the evidence for notability? Are there reliable sources discussing the Technodrome anywhere? -- Sirfurboy (talk) 15:36, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply

In-universe notability is irrelevant for Wikipedia. It would work on https://turtlepedia.fandom.com/wiki/Technodrome . But we are no Turtlepedia. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:34, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't looked at sources yet, but at worst this should be selective merge to Krang over deletion. Is there any doubt this is a reasonable search term? Argento Surfer (talk) 13:47, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - The topic fails to establish notability. If it is possible, it can always be split out later. TTN (talk) 12:10, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Redirect to Krang. While there are tons of results when searching for the term, there are really not any that discuss it in any way that goes beyond plot summary or listing its appearances in media. The best I could find was this academic paper that uses the Technodrome in the 1987 series as a talking point regarding energy sustainability and attitudes towards it during the time. Which is interesting, but can not support the article alone. As mentioned by Argento Surfer, though, there's no real doubt that its a reasonable search term, so a Redirect, at the very least, should be used. Any potential merging needed can be performed from the article history. Rorshacma (talk) 17:59, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
