Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Grimlock (2nd nomination)
Just looking at the previous AfD and the first five refs, http://www.ign.com/articles/2009/06/10/transformers-our-favorite-autobots?page=3 IGN, http://www.toplessrobot.com/2009/04/10_transformers_that_were_only_badass_in_the_comic.php IGN, too, and http://www.x-entertainment.com/messages/364.html X-entertainment are all lists of top Transformer robots of all time and all list Grimlock in the top ten. The USA today article above contributes a little notability and another http://www.ign.com/articles/2008/04/24/transformers-spotlight-grimlock-review IGN review is a spotlight on Grimlock. I don't know about X-entertainment, but Excluding X-Entertainment, the other four seem independent, go into some depth and declare this particular autobot as notable. These sources and coverage of the Grimlock action figures is enough to pass notability for me. The article itself is very complete but relies too much on primary sources and in its enthusiasm looks to contain some synthesis and possibly OR, too. It could be pared back quite a bit without losing essential information. But this is a matter of editing and a surmountable problem, per . A notable topic and surmountable article problems suggest keeping the article
