Lemuria (comics)[edit]

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

Two non-notable fictional locations in the Marvel Universe. No real world context and written in-universe. I can find no sources and I doubt there are any sources that would ever be able to add significant real world context to this article. Ridernyc (talk) 21:21, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A significant number of pages link to this article. Because Lemuria is used in several other contexts, finding sources will not be easy. Where did you look for sources? One independent, reliable source has already been given in the article. It is likely that more sources are available. The article can be expanded and sources added. 42of8 (talk) 06:27, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete as non-notable. Best suited to Wikia. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:17, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Features of the Marvel Universe. Now that we've kept Features, it seems like a good place to merge this article, and one of the better arguments for keeping Features was that we could merge all these semi-notable locations into it. Extended coverage of these topics is best suited to Wikia, and a brief overview in Features seems more appropriate than a dedicated article that will struggle with notability issues and reliable sources.

Keep per arguments of 42of8 and bd2412; failing that, merge into Features of the Marvel Universe would be better than deletion. BOZ (talk) 15:15, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. See, e.g., B. J. Oropeza, The Gospel According to Superheroes: Religion and Pop Culture (2005), p. 123: "In 1976 Kirby developed another team of super characters, this time for Marvel Comics, called The Eternals. The comic book followed the pattern of his earlier DC titles, but it enjoyed as much popularity. In the story, the Eternals exist as race of immortal-like heroes who were mistaken as gods by earlier civilizations on Earth. They originated as one of three species of humanity that evolved from an ancient genetic experiment done by the Celestials, a god-like race of giants who occasionally visit the earth and were responsible for a great flood that sank the ancient kingdom of Lemuria". bd2412 T 21:36, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Merge into Features or delete it. The reference above has all to do with Eternals (comics) and nothing to do with this topic. Unless there is something specific describing the development of the location, something related to the development of the overall series does nothing for it.

Merge into Features, there aren't enough sources on this for a separate article. --Cerebellum (talk) 00:37, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
