This article fails to establish notability. The current "reception" is trivial, and may not even be a RS. There is no worthwhile content to merge, so it should be deleted and then redirected to Optimus Prime#Beast Era. TTN (talk) 11:55, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Optimus Prime#Beast Era This is a valid search term. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 12:35, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- But it will be only months until Optimus Prime is deleted as well. JIP | Talk 08:24, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - Maybe. The odds are Optimus Prime can survive this, as the most prominent transformer. We can review sources for him when the time comes, but I wouldn't bet it will go. Some fictional characters are notable. Just not all of them (but a small minority). Kind of like with real people, you know. Wikipedia doesn't need an article for every living person, and we don't need one for every Transformer, either... --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:17, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - The thing is, it's more like "we don't need one for any Transformer" these days. I don't expect to see individual articles for the Micromasters Terror-Tread and Cement-Head or something, but nominating something like Spike Witwicky, the principal human character in the TV show, who appears in pretty much every episode, for deletion is kind of strange.

      - There is definitely no way Optimus, Megatron, Starscream, or Bumblebee ever get deleted. Their current articles are garbage, but I'd definitely bet money they could be turned into something good. Other than those, I can't see too man more existing though.
