This fictional character article has no WP:RS reliable sources which WP:V its general notability per the WP:GNG and WP:NFICT. Thus this subject is an unsuitable topic for a standalone article. AadaamS (talk) 13:51, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yes, I read that discussion and it was not demonstrated how that article satisfied the GNG. As you can see below, Rtkat3 is using another comic to claim GNG. Another Marvel comic isn't a WP:RS because it isn't a WP:SECONDARY source. AadaamS (talk) 18:56, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • What BOZ meant was that Cjhard participated in a discussion to merge Century, not Cardiac. Argento Surfer (talk) 19:14, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Correct. I'll assume it was an honest mistake on the part of AadaamS, but I was confused for a moment when reviewing the talk page discussion to see where the subject of that ping came in. BOZ (talk) 21:56, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Appearance in The Superior Spider-Man cannot verify notability as a WP:RS is required to verify notability. A WP:RS is per default be a secondary source. TSSM is a primary source because it's another Marvel publication. AadaamS (talk) 06:37, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge as the nominator said, there aren't reliable sources verifying the character's notability. They can't be found. Comic book characters aren't exempt from WP:GNG and WP:NFICT. Cjhard (talk) 06:50, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per BOZ. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 09:25, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The existence of the miniseries is a strong indicator of notability. I suspect sources will exist, albeit independent fanzines, or the likes of Wizard Magazine. --Killer Moff (talk) 15:11, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Killer Moff: - what miniseries? Argento Surfer (talk) 15:19, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Argento Surfer: - that's what I get for relying on my memories. I could've sworn he got one in the 90's, I can even picture the covers! But a quick google reveals no such thing. Oh well. Sign of getting old... --Killer Moff (talk) 15:28, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
