https://www.google.com/search?tbm=nws&q=%22Unicron%22+-wikipedia&tbs=ar:1 Aside from sources about his appearance in Rise of the Beasts or his enthusiast oriented toy (which is not notable), I have found zero other credible sources about his history, reception or anything else that makes him notable.

Procedural Keep due to questionable motives of nominator and flood of similar nominations leaving no time for anyone to do non-Google research. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 19:58, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Transformers: The Movie, which is what he is most known for. While I found these sources, they are fairly basic at best, and far below the standard of other more notable characters who were nevertheless merged. That said, I do think that the nominator needs to slow down on the AfDs, as editors should be here not just to tear articles down but to also build them up. But, a speedy keep should only apply if they are being nominated without merit, which just isn't the case here. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:20, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep Per source found by Dream Focus, indicating numerous instances of significant coverage in reliable sources. While still weak, the nominator's rationale is no longer valid. This is more of a matter for a merge discussion than an AfD. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:47, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect per Zxcvbnm. There's a clear redirect target for a valid search term, but not enough WP:SIGCOV to support a separate article. Shooterwalker (talk) 03:58, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect Lacking of SIGCOV. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 05:41, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/transformers-last-knight-ending-explained-who-is-unicron-1016892/ Search for "unicron" in that, see how much detail they give about him across various fictional media. An article written about him https://ew.com/movies/2017/06/23/transformers-the-last-knight-spoilers-unicron/ and another one here https://www.avclub.com/unicron-rise-of-the-beasts-transformers-1850491334 both of which give significant coverage.

  only for cgi movie version of unicron, not animated movie unicron, which this article is primarily about. Grandmaster Huon (talk) 17:18, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep obviously satisfies GNG. InfiniteNexus (talk) 00:48, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per the arguments above. BOZ (talk) 14:33, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep . Satisfies GNG easily. SnowFire (talk) 18:18, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• I appreciate the discussion must still run its course but it is worth noting that the nominator has been blocked for persistent bad faith actions. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 19:08, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, as he is the biggest star of the 1986 Transformers the movie, and is a major character in the Transformers franchise. Davidgoodheart (talk) 02:48, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, as this seems to be the primary topic and meets the general notability guidelines. At the very least, I wanted to say that I oppose deletion because this can very well fit as a redirect to Unicorn (to which Unicron exists as a hatnote on that page). But, Unicron seems to have enough to stand on its own as an article, so redirection will likely not be necessary and this can just be kept.

• Keep with similar thoughts to my comments on other recent similar nominations. Multiple toys, character on tv, movies, videogame, etc. I'm sorry, just too many of these noms at once. —siroχo 09:11, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
