Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Comics and animation

Shortcuts

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Comics and animation. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Comics and animation|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Comics and animation. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Comment It's marginal with what's already in there. References 2, 50-53, and 55 are interesting non-primary sources but I don't see a good solid 2+ IRS references for GNG. At the very least, there's probably enough here to merge into one of the DC Universe pages, but I haven't the foggiest idea which. Jclemens (talk) 05:27, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
While I think that suggests that there could be more out there to further develop this article (so Keep), if you're looking for a merge target, maybe List of DC Universe locations? - jc37 06:57, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Article is entirely in-universe cruft with nothing to establish notability. I don't think it's even worthy of merging/redirecting to any DC-related article. Edit: I support merging if deletion is not an option. 💥Casualty ^{• Hop along. •} 05:32, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Real world places were named/fashioned after a fictional fast food joint, this is documented in RS, and you assert nothing to establish notability exists? Please, do explain more... Jclemens (talk) 07:53, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Casualty. I see very little in this article worth preserving, since this seems to be a minor in-universe element with little in the way of real-world notability. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 14:07, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I'm expecting you to actually engage, but what exactly is wrong with Starburst and Amazing Heroes as sources? Beyond them not showing up when you mash words into Google? Not doing any digging until someone lays out what exactly is wrong with the sourcing present, because at the moment it looks like yet another I Don't Like It nomination from this editor.

Redirect to whatever list of fictional characters from his most relevant franchise is. Pure plot summary and least of appearances - fails WP:GNG. WP:NOTPLOT, WP:NOTCATALOGUE, WP:FANCRUFT... --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:08, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with List of Marvel Comics characters: D in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. --Rtkat3 (talk) 02:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment there is a lot of publication history that goes beyond just plot summaries. The article is sourced to Wizard, Bleeding Cool, Amazing Heroes, and Starburst. If either the nature of the publications or the nature of the coverage is not adequate to establish notability, that should be demonstrated here before merging into the list. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 16:36, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- That, to be honest, is the nub of my dissatisfaction with this nomination. Those four sources have been considered reliable for plenty of comic articles I've submitted that have been approved as new articles, as have others I believe to have more detail that would help with this article (JDM, Slings & Arrows, Crikey!, possibly even Speakeasy or Back Issue), and generally seem to be considered strong specialist sources. I would like to hear why those sources aren't considered reliable and/or worthy of even consideration before I bother sourcing anything else as it they are somehow suddenly not good enough basically anything else featuring comics is also going to be. And that is going to call the notability of a number of articles I've built around similar sourcing into question, so we might as well nominate all of those and get this shit done. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 17:03, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  A brief overview of the avalible sources
  Starburst: Interview doenst count for notability
  
  Bleeding Cool 1: Just a recap of appearances
  
  Bleeding Cool 2: "x posted a tweet about y"
  
  Bleeding Cool 3: Literally just one passing mention
  
  Amazing Heroes: Seems decent
  
  Wizard: Cant tell as its not on the web but by the title it seems like its talking about Marvel UK and not the character.
  
  Comic Book Resources: Another passing meniton of a different Death's Hand character.
  
  If you can WP:HAY this than by all means go ahead but I cant find anything else usable for notability Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 15:12, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, obviously. From memory, my re-write was performed largely using sources that had cropped up on another semi-related project, and was likely directed at sourcing up what was already there and possibly removing bald inaccuracies; as the article wasn't new it was never meant to be a finished, definite work (and not just because that's not how Wikipedia should work). As such I believe my decision to not write a "Reception" section was down to choice as I probably moved back to what I was 'meant' to be doing, rather than there being a lack of any material that could be used. As said, there are likely review sources of both character and selected appearances out there, just probably not on Google. I say this every time someone does a web-based before, but there are always some who choose to ignore it - a lot of decent specialist resources are not online, at least not in an easily-searchable format. But I am not pulling physical media from storage four days before Christmas if someone somewhere has just decided specialist publications don't count anymore. Once again though, this is a nomination of an article that just needs work but will likely get deleted because AfD is a broken system and you all just like deleting things. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 17:09, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(personally I'd have centred the article around the publication with the development of the character and guest appearances as background and DHII as a separate article along the same lines, and probably left it unfinished with thoughts of going back one day, but there's no point in doing that at this juncture either until someone finishes deciding on the magic list of reliable sources) BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 17:14, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of Super Friends villains

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is a mostly unsourced spin off from the Super Friends article. Wikipedia implores us to not immediately split articles if the new article would meet neither the general notability criteria nor the specific notability criteria for their topic. The target article is also missing sources but at least provides a valid redirect target. Jontesta (talk) 00:26, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Super Friends#Characters - Not only is this current list lacking in any reliable, secondary sources, many of the listed characters are minor antagonists that appeared in a single episode or comic book issue. The current article already lists the villains, with appropriate blue links to those that are notable. It should also be noted that the Legion of Doom also has its own article that covers a lot of the same information on many of the reoccurring villains in the series. So, between the information there and on the main Super Friends article, this is a needless spinout mostly being used to include excessive plot details on minor one-shot character appearances. Rorshacma (talk) 02:00, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Super Friends#Characters agree that there is no reason for this to be a separate article when the information is already included on the main Super Friends page. Rhino131 (talk) 14:57, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Super Friends#Characters. There is definitely no need for this extensive list. It does not fit WP:NLIST, plus it already feels forked from the characters list. Conyo14 (talk) 22:22, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of Green Arrow enemies

Redirect to List of Green Arrow characters (if anyone creates it) or the the main article. It is reasonable for larger show to have a split off list of characters, but one is enough for most; no need for splits of 'enemies' or whatever else a particular fan can think of (WP:FANCRUFT...). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 00:38, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Green Arrow supporting characters. The target article likely needs a serious clean-up to remove the WP:OR, and maybe a rename. There's a potential basis in reliable sources for one character list, but not multiple forks filled with unsourced content. Shooterwalker (talk) 21:44, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Redirect to List of Green Arrow supporting characters per Shooterwalker. I do feel some sourcing could prove this article's existence, especially considering there are ScreenRant articles ([2] and [3]) as well as an Entertainment Weekly article [4] that touches base on the at least the TV adaptation characters. Though there is not much on the other characters, especially those covered in the comics. Conyo14 (talk) 22:06, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to the Green Arrow supporting charactes. I have begun a rewrite of the list in my sandbox Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 19:41, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Selective Merge to List of Green Arrow supporting characters as an WP:ATD. Basically, just the "Central Rogues' Gallery" should be merged over - the extensive list of minor non-notable enemies and enemies that are primarily associated with other DC characters that happened to have met/fought Green Arrow once or twice should not be merged.
