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. This is the usual WP:FANCRUFT - pure PLOT+list of appearances sourced 100% to primary sources (comic books). Also this is one of those messes where the article discusses two distinct characters withg the same name, so an overgrown disambig. PROD removed by anon with no rationale, so, sigh, you know the drill. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:10, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can't think of a good redirect target for this, and the character is pretty minor, so I'll go with delete. Rhino131 (talk) 04:19, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Don't Delete I just found this article now, genuinely researching the history of Golden Eagle. Yes, he's a minor character but he plays a role in the DC Universe due to his role in Titans Hunt and supposed Hawkman-sidekick status. Also, his backstory is confusing due to DC editorial contradictions over the years. I think he deserves his own page to address this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyke121 (talk • contribs) 10:35, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The topic lacks real world information from reliable sources to meet WP:GNG and fulfill WP:WAF. TTN (talk) 14:34, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into List of DC Comics characters - There is some coverage, but not enough to declare this independently notable. Dark knight 2149 06:21, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
