contested prod. Original research essay about a non-notable character from the fictional bionicle universe. No real world context and the only sources are primary sources. Ridernyc (talk) 21:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Not notable outside its own fantasy world. Pharmboy (talk) 21:19, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete hate to recommend dl for such a lengthy, detailed article, but the "sources" are mostly posts from one discussion board, and there's no evidence of WP:N. I'm sure someone appreciated finding this info. here, but it should be somebody's web page. JJL (talk) 22:49, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep Makuta is the primary antagonist from the cult Lego franchise Bionicle. If you delete the Makuta article you might as well delete every other Bionicle article out there save the Bionicle article itself. As for BZPower, the comments posted on that webpage were by the author of the Bionicle books, Greg Farstey meaning that everything on said discussion board (or at least the things said by Farstey) is gospel truth or at least, the things said by Greg meaning that more or less everything in the article is adequately and reliably sourced so I see little to no original research. There is a variety of different subjects in the article all detailed and sourced so the article appears to be in tip-top shape or at least, in no fit state to be deleted. --Illustrious One (talk) 01:00, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep I just tried editing to add a cite but the article seems to be locked in some way I don't understand. This invalidates the AFD since the article has lost some of its short window for improvement. Colonel Warden (talk) 14:41, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

  May have been a database lock, which is what happens when the servers get swamped, and the master can't keep up with the slave servers. It locks it so they don't get out of sync. It happens often, and usually passes in a few minutes. Pharmboy (talk) 15:19, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

  I just edited it without problems. JJL (talk) 14:44, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

• I tried again so I suppose it was a glitch. Anyway, that was by way of demonstration that the article can be improved by someone like me who doesn't know the first thing about the subject. Here's a bunch of news sources that I didn't use... Colonel Warden (talk) 14:51, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

as with all the deletions for this series, sources are great to prove the notability of Bionicle, they do nothing to support the endless min-wiki of ever character and object that has been created here. if people want to do this they need to start from scratch with the main article which is little more then a stub and do the whole thing over from a real world perspective. Also can you please site something specific from that book about this character. Ridernyc (talk) 21:32, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Delete, no real-world notability, fails WP:FICTION. As above, shame to do it so such a good article, but maybe it would fit in more at the Annex or a Bionicle-themed wiki? Lankiveil 13:11, 25 January 2008 (UTC).
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Fictional characters-related deletion discussions. -- -- pb30<talk> 17:58, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
• Strong Delete — Not an encyclopaedic topic. Seems damn uninteresting too, unless you're 5. — EliasAlucard (Discussion · contribs) 02:50, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
