"Biography" of a fictional character, written almost entirely in-universe with no reliably sourced evidence of real-world context for standalone notability. The only references being cited here at all are linguistic sources for the etymology and meaning of "bar sinister" as a standard English phrase, not sources about the character as a character. List of Underdog characters already exists, and nothing here demonstrates or sources a reason why Simon Bar Sinister would warrant getting spun off as a separate article topic.

Strong delete. None of the references actually cover Simon Bar Sinister; thus the general notability guidelines are not met. Inexplicably, the first AfD 10 years ago Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Simon Bar Sinister resulted in a keep; however, I am not convinced any of the sources they propose are good enough, and clearly, they did not end up in the article. This topic is sufficiently covered in List of Underdog characters; so I would not mind a redirect to the appropriate section. BenKuykendall (talk) 18:30, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete - WP:OR due to the concerns of BenKuykendall. Kirbanzo (talk) 20:35, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Underdog_(TV_series)#Characters. No need for deletion. Capt. Milokan (talk) 21:05, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List_of_Underdog_characters#Simon_Bar_Sinister would be a more appropriate redirection target. BenKuykendall (talk) 02:13, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Either one works for me! Capt. Milokan (talk) 21:28, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect no justifications given for a stand-alone article, but the redirect targets look fine. power~enwiki (π, ν) 21:52, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
