PROD contested by @JIP: for reason "one of the main human characters in the original cartoon". Not sure this counts as standalone notability. Merge or redirect? FoxyGrampa75 (talk) 00:43, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Lists of Transformers characters. Any user searching for this character will likely be knowledgeable enough to find what they want from this list. Argento Surfer (talk) 20:22, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Hoist (Transformers) and Pipes (Transformers) were both recently deleted although a Redirect to List of Autobots was suggested - by the same rationale, Sparkplug (Transformers) should be deleted as well - Epinoia (talk) 03:42, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- You're the one who suggested the redirect though... Did the closing comment change your mind about how these should be handled? Argento Surfer (talk) 16:54, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus was Delete (see Wikipedia:Consensus) - for consistency with consensus, this article should be deleted as well as it has no more notability than the other ariticles - Epinoia (talk) 17:34, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'd argue those two examples are outliers - most of the similar discussions I've seen opt for redirects. Plus, WP:CCC. Although we should abide by prior consensus, that does not mean we must agree with it when a new discussion arises. Argento Surfer (talk) 18:06, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete A redirect from this title would be confusing (do some transformers really have a sparkplug?) It should, like all characters from Transformers (film series), be of the format Sparkplug (fictional character).----Pontificalibus 06:40, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Pontificalibus. The character is nowhere near notable enough to maintain a independent article, and Sparkplug (fictional character) would be the more appropriate title for a redirect to the character list. Rorshacma (talk) 15:30, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
