Human Top (Bruce Bravelle)[edit]

Provides no context that allows the reader to assert the notability, needs at least one source (other than a list) preferably an online one.--The Dominator (talk) 06:03, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - as creator of this page I thought the character was notable enough. This is an article for creation page, so most of the content is not mine. This character had a comic strip named after him. He was not just a minor actor, he was the main character in his strip. I have pulled up some more sources, so that verification is possible that The Human top existed, and was the first Human Top. Since he is from the 1940's there is not that much online compared with the modern superheros, who are not actually more notable because they were created in the internet age!

This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 12:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The Human Top also got a write-up in the bestselling All in Color For a Dime on a chapter of improbable superheroes; even kids thought the spinning superhero was kind of silly back in the 1940s Mandsford (talk) 13:12, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, for reasons already stated above. BOZ (talk) 19:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There are no significant Reliable Sources and no evidence of notability at all.NBeale (talk) 20:56, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The only thing that comes at all close to being a reliable source is the Encyclopedia of Superheroes, which is an out-of-print book. The web sites that are listed as references all contain user-contributed information, so we can't use them as a source for facts per WP:SPS. EdJohnston (talk) 04:57, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
