No third-party sources at all. The first one appears to be a source, but is in fact just a listing. Everything else is a Transformers website or other Transformers source. Black Kite (t) (c) 18:34, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

KEEP Once again Black Kite doesn't bother to do the research. I expanded that first source, as it was from a book that specifically use Slugslinger's biogrpahy, motto and function in a talk about violent toys for boys. This is definitely a viable third party source that isn't "in-fiction". Mathewignash (talk) 20:58, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
  • COMMENT - The book talks about his motto, biography and function being intrinisically violent, as proof that Transformers are too violent for kids. It's more than a trivial mention, they picked him specifically because he mentions killing his opponents, and he's a kids toy. Mathewignash (talk) 00:51, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
Comment Reminded by who? Oh right, by you, who keeps repeating it even when he's wrong. Mathewignash (talk) 13:38, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
Once in awhile you'll luck out and get the WP:ARS to show up and bloc vote, it's unavoidable. That you've "won" one AfD and lost about 100 others isn't a terribly great track record though, so I'd keep the cork in your champagne if I were you. Tarc (talk) 16:30, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
Or you might consider the vague possibility that in that case of the Maximal article, YOU WERE WRONG. Mathewignash (talk) 20:38, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
Tarc, there have been articles deleted when the ARS showed up. Numbers don't matter. Assume good faith please, and stop bashing the ARS every chance you get. Dream Focus 20:00, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:58, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete A few appearances, some info about release information for Targetmasters toys, including many others besides Slugslinger, and a single commentary on the character is insufficient to require notability. Even if the commentary is in-depth, it would be a case of WP:ONESOURCE. I, Jethrobot (note: not a bot!) 07:17, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Delete- yet another fanblurb with extremely poor sourcing. Attacking the nominator is not a legitimate defence of this article. Reyk YO! 07:59, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
