Not notable. The sources in the Equipment section are about the vehicles in the movie in general, while the character creation section is just two bullet points trivia. In other words, no substantial information to warrant an article. He's just a supporting character after all. Neocorelight (Talk) 09:39, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Even if the article does not seem to show notability, we need to practice WP:BEFORE to see if this character has coverage by reliable sources. Sometimes enough details exist to warrant a standalone article. If not, then it could be possible to have a List of Mad Max characters that would have sections for all characters; summary sections for those with their own articles, and full sections for characters that don't have their own article. See List of Smallville characters as an example.

I know there's a book out there called Mad Max and Philosophy, and "Nux" is mentioned in it 37 times, which seems like a lot to just be happenstance from reciting the film's events. In the book Trauma and Disability in Mad Max: Beyond the Road Warrior’s Fury, "Nux" is mentioned 12 times. There seem to be more possible results in Google Books/Scholar to at least warrant a section on a list of characters, which I'm a little surprised we don't have, considering some characters that seem reasonably iconic (to me, at least).

Redirect to Mad Max: Fury Road. Right now the article fails WP:GNG, SIGCOV is not shown. Nobody seems to have done WP:BEFORE, but we also cannot assume that WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES. Soft deletion by redirecting, with no prejduce to this being restored if someone cares to find good sources, is likely best. Ping if such sources are found while this discussion is ongoing and I'll reconsider my vote. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:17, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Piotrus. WP:SIGCOV could not be found with WP:BEFORE. Redirect is a good WP:ATD and allows a brief summary at the main film article. Shooterwalker (talk) 18:53, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect – Per above. The character fails in WP:GNG. Svartner (talk) 05:24, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
