This isn't a significant page, and Phoenix Jones is already included on the page real-life superhero. All of these real-life superheroes have been mentioned in various news outlets, so I don't see a reason why this particular one should have his own article but not the rest. All the necessary information on this person is included at real-life superhero, or can be added to that page. Kag427 (talk) 21:10, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect I'm proposing that this page redirect to real-life superheroes. Kag427 (talk) 21:47, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Jones is receiving a considerable amount of coverage, both local and national, and can make a strong case to pass the WP:GNG on his own. The Real-life superhero page is a horrible mess, it's a pretty indiscriminate list of mentions of superheroes, and includes examples like The Aquabats, (a band with a superhero gimmick,) and characters created for public service announcement campaigns such as Captain Ozone. I would rather see individual articles on fully notable heroes, and the remaining mentions that can't pass WP:BLP1E should be pruned out. -- RoninBK _{T C} 09:48, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This guy was just featured on Boing Boing again so I think media outlets are going to continue to cover any actions he takes. There is already enough content here to satisfy WP:GNG and it seems likely to meet that the number of reliable sources associated with this person are likely to increase. Keep this and do not merge or redirect; this person acts alone and sources do not indicate formal affiliation with other groups. Blue Rasberry 04:04, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I actually read up on this subject earlier this week and was surprised to see all the coverage he has received, so he does appear to be sufficiently notable for inclusion. A bit silly? Yes. But that doesn't require removal.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 06:31, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Ample coverage for this guy to exist on his own, I already adding plenty of things to the article. He has been featured in news reports and done interviews, even on talk shows. Also, shouldn't a bot have told me that an article I created was up for deletion? That is strange I got no message. Someone disable the thing? Dream Focus 10:04, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- As far as I know there isn't a bot that does that automatically, I know Twinkle does when it nominates a page. It's not actually required to notify the creator when an article is nominated, but it's highly recommended. -- RoninBK _{T C} 13:46, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
