Minor comic book character that fails GNG, prodded by User:Avilich, deprodded with no rationale. Let's discuss. I'd suggest redirecting this to List of Marvel Comics characters: H. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:08, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep if more sources can be found, otherwise merge to List of Marvel Comics characters: H per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE. BOZ (talk) 12:35, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, fails WP:NOR and MOS:PLOT ("Strictly avoid creating pages consisting only of a plot summary"). This disposes of the need to merge as well. The problem with redirecting is that the article can be reverted to its previous state without discussion, and parenthetical qualifiers don't make for good search terms. It's better to get rid of the article altogether and only afterwards decide if a redirection is really worth it.. Avilich (talk) 14:07, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge with List of Marvel Comics characters: H in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE as @BOZ: suggested. --Rtkat3 (talk) 23:50, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Marvel Comics characters: H - The character fails the WP:GNG and thus should not be a independent article. Voting to Merge makes no sense because this was already preemptively done four days ago, and the entirety of the contents of this article is already included in the proposed target verbatim. Honestly, the fact that I can find zero reliable sources discussing this character at all means I would have just gone with Delete if it weren't for the fact that the article was already merged to the list last week, and thus the editing history needs to be preserved. That said, these comic character lists need to be gone through and have utterly non-notable characters like this that fail the WP:GNG in every conceivable way removed, but that is beyond the scope of this particular discussion.

Meh, it was an IP who did it, and the content was unsourced cruft anyways, so I wouldn't worry too much about attribution here. Avilich (talk) 01:30, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: There's no clear consensus (despite the tally) whether this should be merged or purely deleted, given there are legitimate concerns that this character simply doesn't meet any sourcing (much less notability) requirements.
