Completely pointless, waste of time deprod. Completely inconsequential fictional character with no coverage to pass WP:GNG, and fails WP:NOTPLOT. TTN (talk) 14:04, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - was there a reason given for the dePROD? I did a quick search but couldn't find anything reliable that could be used to source this article Spiderone 14:12, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- I'm not even sure this character appeared in more than one issue. No sources, no passing GNG. Rhino131 (talk) 14:47, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I honestly can't find any information about this character anywhere. It is too inconsequential even for DC Database to cover. I'm tempted to look up the comic just to see if this article is a straight-up hoax. Dark knight 2149 20:26, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Darkknight2149: According to here the page is actually wrong; it is Captain Atom volume 1, not volume 2. And the character is listed as... the secondary villain's pet cat. Yeah, not going to argue against deleting this one. Rhino131 (talk) 21:19, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - Wtf. That's going to be a Strong delete from me as well. Dark knight 2149 21:40, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As far as I can tell, this "character" appeared in one issue of a comic book. I say "as far as I can tell" because there is absolutely no reliable sources whatsoever even mentioning this cat. Even the one entry I can find on a fan-wiki is just a mirror of this article. It fails the WP:GNG entirely, and its deletion is so uncontroversial that its exactly the kind of article that the PROD system was created for. Rorshacma (talk) 15:59, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The character's inclusion under Captain_Atom#Rogues_gallery is enough. Even if numerous reliable sources are found, I can only barely see them getting their own bullet point at most, judging by the information and notability discussed above.

Delete: Fails WP:V and WP:NFICT. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:23, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete One of the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen on Wikipedia.★Trekker (talk) 00:53, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I have seen worse, but this is definitely up there. Then again, it's hard to top incidents like this: [1], [2], [3] (someone created an article to promote their $5 budget fanmade Batman series on YouTube and started trolling when I marked it for speedy deletion, which was noticed after they created categories for it and started adding them to multiple character articles as if it were an officially licensed TV show).

  - That's crazy.★Trekker (talk) 13:05, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- This is clearly hopeless. Deprodding this is purely a waste of everyone's time and therefore disruptive. Reyk _YO! 08:21, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:SNOW. We did attempt to ban Andrew Davidson from doing this, most recently here. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 20:54, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as lacking any sources to meet WP:GNG. There simply isn't any reliable coverage of this character, and we cannot write an article that is unsourced or only editorial summary of primary sources. Jontesta (talk) 20:12, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
