This limited comic books series doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG. The comic books database appears to be user-generated, as are the various fandom and wikia sites mentioning this. The enacademic.com entry for this series appears to be a Wikipedia mirror, TVTropes is an unreliable source, and the various blog listings and database inclusions all appear to be user-generated/self published. I'm not finding any coverage of this limited series in reliable, secondary sources. Hog Farm _Bacon 18:29, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As written, clearly fails WP:NFICTION. BEFORE does now show anything outside primary sources and unreliable mentions in passing. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:09, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment found some sources:
https://screenrant.com/captain-america-iron-man-origin/
here https://whatculture.com/comics/marvel-10-alternate-universes-that-deserve-to-be-onscreen?page=2
but they mostly recap the plot. Could this be used to say something about this storyline within a related Captain America or Marvel article? Archrogue (talk) 18:50, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This probably won't ever be FA quality, but material exists to construct publication history and reception sections. See this interview with the artist, this coverage from IGN, and this review from Pop Matters. Also another artist interview and this coverage. I'm sure the series was covered by Wizard and Comics Buyer's Guide covered the series to some degree, but I'll have to dig those print sources out. Sales data for each issue is available at Comichron.org. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:39, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Review-wise, Comicbook Roundup at least has 3 independent reviews listed (2 from one site and author, but for different issues). On top of the coverage pointed out above, ScreenRant also covered the series in another piece (though only commenting briefly beyond plot). Even if it fails WP:NFICTION as written, sufficient sources do WP:NEXIST, so the article should pass WP:GNG. It needs improvement (and someone dedicated to the cause), not deletion. -2pou (talk) 19:45, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per Argento Surfer. Dtt1^Talk 12:49, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above comments since there are WP:RS to retain, per WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD. BOZ (talk) 21:59, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
