This article is a collection of largely uncited, trivial information about different variations of a notable character's costume. The costume itself is sufficiently covered in Iron Man#Armor. The sources that are present in this article are mainly comic book issues, and not to critical discussion about the article topic.

While there might be a small amount of information here that can be moved to the main article, the vast majority of it fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE/NOTPLOT. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 21:16, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The subject is basically a cultural touchstone. It can certainly be improved. BD2412 T 21:55, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Iron Man is a big topic and so it's natural that the details of his numerous suits would be split off like this per WP:SPLIT. There's plenty of secondary coverage of Iron Man in works such as Inventing Iron Man; Iron Manual; Iron Man and Philosophy; The Ages of Iron Man. These naturally cover his suits and so the topic passes WP:LISTN. Andrew🐉(talk) 23:38, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Subject is notable, article is just in poor condition.★Trekker (talk) 18:58, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above comments since there are WP:RS to retain, per WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD. BOZ (talk) 05:39, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:GNG. The Science of Marvel: From Infinity Stones to Iron Man's Armor, the Real Science Behind the MCU Revealed! (Adams Media, 2019) has a chapter on Iron Man's armor, and even namechecks the armor in the book's title. It is also discussed in The Ages of Iron Man: Essays on the Armored Avenger in Changing Times (McFarland, 2015). — Toughpigs (talk) 18:55, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
