WITHDRAW AFD Given the emerging consensus here, I will be WP:BOLD and start merging and redirecting the articles together. The new page can be seen here List of minor Robot Wars contestants (UK) (in progress) EliminatorJR Talk 17:45, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Last year, an AfD tried to delete a number of articles about individual robots from the UK series of Robot Wars. Result was No Consensus, as it was thought some had notability (i.e. winners of series). Another AfD was suggested with a smaller batch of more obviously less notable robots. Today, many more articles have been created by a new user; these articles are often unsourced, have no context, or need rewriting. Some are about robots which fought one single bout and lost, never to be seen again. I would've thought using the 'reality show contestant' theory, these are therefore non-notable. This is a small batch to begin with, more (there are a lot) will be nominated if this AfD decides on deletion. (Or alternatively, if the decision is Redirect I will redirect all the non-notable ones in one go).

I am also nominating the following related pages:

  • Redirect all to Robot Wars.--TBCΦtalk? 00:39, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge/Redirect all per above. The one sentince descriptions of each robot works better in the main article. Resolute 01:35, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge/Redirect all except for IG-88 (robot), as there's already a robot with that name to whom that real estate better applies. Either delete IG-88 (Robot) or point it at IG-88 with a brief mention -- MAYBE and only with a source -- of the Robot Wars bot. JDoorjam JDiscourse 01:42, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Which brings up another point - there are no dab page entries for a lot of these articles either. EliminatorJR Talk 01:52, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge/Redirect Per all above. Ganfon 17:41, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
