FANCRUFT list that doesn't include a single source indicating notability of these characters, let alone indicating a necessity for having a whole list focusing on them; in contrast to a similar page for the film characters. Most sections consist solely of brief summaries of these comic-exclusive characters, if they include any summaries at all. PanagiotisZois (talk) 18:32, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• You forgot to tell the creator of the page that you nominated it. That would be User:JIP who made the page back in 17:32, 9 April 2005‎. Dream Focus 22:26, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment https://www.cbr.com/best-comic-transformers-ranked/ that gives coverage to ten of them found only in the comics. Any reviews for this comics or notable arcs would've mentioned some notable characters such as Rung. Dream Focus 02:06, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Of these, none are non-Transformer characters, and only five appear in the Marvel Comics titles in the first place. However, the source could be of some use at the main article about the Marvel Comics title. JIP | Talk 08:38, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE as an indiscriminate list. It could potentially be a viable list, but would require a full rewrite to accomplish that. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:26, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:INDISCRIMINATE - Character lists can be viable spinouts, but they still need to be sourced and have some kind of inclusion criteria enforced. This current list is not that, and is just a list of every minor character that appeared in the comic, most of which have zero context outside of a name.

• Delete per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. There are already other lists of transformers, and this one is completely unsourced. Shooterwalker (talk) 20:35, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
