Redirect to Lists of He-man and the Masters of the Universe Characters since this isn't a notable character in my own opinion. Galaxybeing (talk) 10:09, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge to List of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe characters. I don't have the time to go through and search for sources myself to form an opinion on notability, but this is a fairly substantial article with a number of secondary sources. A merge would be the obvious WP:Alternative to deletion which preserves the article in the history for possible future use. And there is at least some content based on secondary sources here which can be used to improve the respective section of the target, so simple redirection would be a step backwards.

There is a paragraph discussing the character in How He-Man Mastered the Universe, p. 48, and more bits throughout, another paragraph on Orko in Naming Your Little Geek, p. 237, as well as shorter mentions in Corona Magazine, Marginal Conventions and [1]/[2].

Keep or merge with his section at List of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe characters in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. --Rtkat3 (talk) 00:34, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge: per arguments on similar AfD here. There have been a number of articles like this of He-Man characters that have had the merge consensus (see here). —Mjks28 (talk) 22:15, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
