Completely unreferenced, entirely WP:OR. I also doubt the topic passes WP:LISTN. Di (they-them) (talk) 05:11, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment as much as this might look like a non-encyclopedic cross-categorization, it's quite likely not: this for starters. Jclemens (talk) 06:01, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per WP:OR and WP:LISTN --TheInsatiableOne (talk) 10:58, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:CROSSCAT. Those two topics have nothing in relation. The provided sources fails to show that this is a "culturally significant phenomenon". Carpimaps ^{talk to me!} 12:34, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Unsourced list with no references indicating that this grouping has been discussed as a group or set, thus a failure of WP:LISTN. Searching for sources does not turn up very much on the topic. There's one "Top Ten" churnalism article, and some things on individual characters, but not really anything in reliable sources discussing the overall topic as a grouping.

Delete The existence of Italian superheroes is not specifically notable or a heavily studied aspect as far as I know. Therefore, it is an example of overlistification. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:37, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete why? What even is the point? What are we listing next, redheaded supers? Dronebogus (talk) 00:17, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I guess according to the title Italian diaspora only live in America…? Dronebogus (talk) 06:25, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unreferenced fancruft with a dose of OR. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:44, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
