Optimus Prime (person)

Article is about an unidentifiable person who has changed their name to that of a fictional robot in a cartoon show. He has done nothing that deserves to be in an encyclopedia, and none of the information could reliably be verified. Astrotrain 18:05, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Briefly newsworthy, but not notable in the long term. Delete. --L33tminion 19:42, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)

• Easily verified, see [WKYC] for example. The decision should be based on wider notability, which I'm not sure Mr Prime has. Average Earthman 19:49, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. I heard about this prank, I said "Oh", and never gave it a second thought (until now). Not notable. --Improv 20:46, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Not notable or encyclopedic. Ntk 20:54, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Actualy it is no prank... merge it under Transformers_(toyline) or Optimus Prime... however he is not noteworthz enought to warrant his own article... --Asmodai 22:53, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Optimus Prime. -Sean Curtin 01:13, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)
• Rm This doesn't need its own article, to which Mr. H. K. Phooey will attest. Chris 07:27, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  Is that 'remove' or 'redirect and merge'? (The reason makes the vote seem ambiguious :) —siroχo

  Perhaps someone should take a passing glance at my user page, or any of my other votes throught the list 8-) Chris 02:58, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

• Merge with Optimus Prime. Gamaliel 08:41, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect. Or merge and delete if the edit history makes that achievable. —Rory ☺ 15:38, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)
• M/R makes the most sense. Its trivia, but we have trivia in many articles. Just keep it short —siroχo 19:48, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)
• It shouldn't be merged or directed, just deleted. Anyone can change their name to that of a character/famous person, and many have. We don't list them, so we shouldn't list this person, if he even exists. 158.180.64.10 08:07, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Keep the article is true and entertained me. [[User:Dmn|Dmn / Դմն ]] 17:18, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. I have a soft spot for the notably eccentric. And we obviously have more information on him than "changed his name to that of a cartoon robot." Postdlf 03:02, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Merge a summary into Optimus Prime. Might not need to bother with a redirect. ~leif 04:46, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)
