But... it was a licensed appearance of a Transformers character... doesn't that make it official? A TF artist getting a TF character tattooed on them with Hasbro's approval seems wiki worthy.--72.254.27.189 19:02, 7 February 2012 (EST)

We don't have a page for David Letterman's show just because Optimus Prime was on it to deliver the Top Ten. We mention it on Optimus Prime's page and consider it done. This is trivia that belongs on Bill Forster's page and does not deserve any additional coverage. --ItsWalky 19:06, 7 February 2012 (EST)

But when Transformers show up in video games, we cover the whole game and all the characters, even if it's just one or two TF characters.--72.254.27.189 19:07, 7 February 2012 (EST)

That is an official purchasable product featuring Transformers, and whatever Transformers are in it interact with all the other characters in the game. That's how we treat any crossover story. --ItsWalky 19:18, 7 February 2012 (EST)

OK. I'd think licensed character appearances should count, but I don't know the culture here so I bow out of this discussion.

PS. You are not as high handed as people say. Thx for explaining why.--72.254.27.189 19:24, 7 February 2012 (EST)

I'm sure Transformers have been "licensed" to appear in many talk shows, etc., but we don't need to make articles for them and we shouldn't. Video games and other media where characters interact are fiction, so they are covered by our mandate. —Interrobang 19:42, 7 February 2012 (EST)
