This is a weird pseudo-disambiguation page/minor character list that doesn't really need to exist. Captain America (disambiguation) exists for any characters actually predominantly associated with the name. Those that don't have articles are likely not important enough to need coverage in the first place. TTN (talk) 14:32, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Move page to Captain America and Move Captain America to Captain America (Steve Rogers) - Proper disambiguation per WP:NCC. Valid hub page for characters called Captain America, and the few ones that don't have articles need to be mentioned somewhere. By the way, it feels like you guys are indiscriminately nominating every "Alternative versions" article you come across. Dark knight 2149 06:18, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Captain America, if this content is not already there, then delete (unlikely search term). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:22, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The Captain America page is specifically about Steve Rogers. This (admittedly poorly named) article is a hubpage for the Captain America moniker in general and most of the characters have articles of their own. Unless there is enough room at Captain America to include everything in a Successors section, I don't see how merging is a good idea. Dark knight 2149 10:29, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Captain America. These are fictional characters, and so there is no reason to treat them as if they are biographical entries. This can easily be covered in a much more succinct way on the Captian America page.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:54, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Captain America: per Johnpacklambert above // Timothy :: talk 04:25, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as mostly plot information that could still be preserved. Archrogue (talk) 19:41, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
