Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mainframe (G.I. Joe)
I am a G.I. Joe fan and I do not feel like I can offer an objective opinion, but here is my take, from a pure notability angle.  Let's look at .  ''If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article.''  If we are restricting ourselves to independent coverage, meaning the Marvel comics don't count, there are three main sources of information for G.I. Joe characters that I am aware of: Yojoe.com, which has information on the toys themselves and scans of the file cards, Myuselessknowledge.com, which has information on the characters as they are in the comic books, Mark W. Bellomo's book ''http://books.google.com/books?id=ZGe3NwAACAAJ&dq=Mark+Bellomo&ei=iXCBS6KoNpb4MMWt4ekP&cd=2|The Ultimate Guide to G.I. Joe 1982-1994''.  This book is not available online, and is not currently used in any G.I. Joe articles, but I have read it in print and it is a directory of G.I. Joes that has an image of each figure along with a brief biography summarizing personality traits, out-of-universe background material, and sometimes a sentence or two on the comic book version.  Basically, just the sort of information we want
— NONE, NONE
