  • Topic seems real. [1] UNusual that nominator close the Afd himself/herself within 5 minutes of creation of Afd. SunCreator (talk) 01:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment I undid the closure of this AfD, given the above user's comment (placed after closure) and the {{hangon}} tag placed on the page. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 01:38, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment I closed it because I thought it was a speedy, and it still should be, this article is very poorly written, no links to articles, no sources, no refs, no nothing. It fails the above of WP:RS, WP:V, and WP:N. RkORToN 02:03, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete has barely any content on it, just one sentence. ~ LegoKontribsTalkM 02:17, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete. Obviously, TPH was correct with what he did. Closing your own nomination as delete is grossly inappropriate, especially as a speedy. sources [2] exist, but only just barely. Not quite notable. Celarnor Talk to me 02:24, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment - Search for 'Mata Nui' the wording Great Spirit is the English translation of the original. Not sure of original language Polynesian perhaps. SunCreator (talk) 02:53, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Neutral - Seems to be Maori Item in Guardian newspaper vaguely about it SunCreator (talk) 03:01, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - non-notable element of a fictional work. A redirect to Bionicle may be appropriate. Terraxos (talk) 05:37, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep: Don't be so harsh, it's just getting up and started. --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 15:18, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep: I have re-written it to fit in the proper context of the Bionicle line of Lego toys, and the accompanying books. The other parts of this storyline are well represented and well written elsewhere in Wikipedia.--Benmoreassynt (talk) 15:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete or change to redirect page- Terraxos is right, google pulls up Bionicle, so this should probably just redirect there. Otherwise, delete; it's simply a non-notable element of a work of fiction, as stated above. Mizu onna sango15/水女珊瑚15 16:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete: per nom and WP:N. Victor Lopes (talk) 17:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete I'm afraid this fictional character character is not significant enough, or cited enough, to be notable.-- danntm T C 22:03, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  • I beg to differ. The Bionicle franchise has caused quite a sensation and has a large cult following. The character Mata Nui is one of the most important characters in the Bionicle storyline and therefore warrants an article. --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 17:38, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Absolute travesty. --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 20:56, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
