This was initially prodded by User:TTN with "fils WP:GNG." and then deprodded by User:Toughpigs who added a new reference. Sadly, the article is still pure WP:PLOT summary + list of apparances, and has no reception section or similar, and no source I can see contains anything that is non-plot and in-depth, in other words, "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. " I couldn't think of any valid redirect for this, neither. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:31, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The topic still fails WP:GNG. Encyclopedias of in-universe facts are useless outside of sourcing something for which you do not know the corresponding primary source. They otherwise add absolutely no unique commentary, so they do not count as significant coverage. TTN (talk) 13:42, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - While the groups leader, Atomic Skull, is somewhat notable, this rather obscure group that he led for a brief time is not. There is one secondary source being used, but not only is the information its being used to support simple plot information, it is also the only secondary source present, and topics generally need to have multiple reliable, secondary sources in order to pass the WP:GNG. Searching for any additional coverage in reliable sources did not turn up anything. Rorshacma (talk) 15:54, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This article fails WP:GNG, with serious fancruft going on. Agree with the in-universe facts not really adding up to any notability of any sort. -- Whiteguru (talk) 11:53, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
