The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. Skipping PRO as this had a 'no consensus' AfD in 2007. Can anyone find anything that is not a plot summary to rescue this? Or suggest a redirect target (maybe to 52 (comics))? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:34, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The character really only had a somewhat important role in one storyline, 52 (comics), and made only a few minor appearances after that. I searched for additional sources, both under the "Sobek" name as well as his real name of "Yurrd", and came up with very little that was not from fan sources, or just brief plot descriptions. I was initially considering suggesting a merge to Ancient Egyptian deities in popular culture#Sobek, but ultimately decided that would not be appropriate due to the fact that - A: as mentioned, "Sobek" is not the character's real name, and B: the character was not actually the god Sobek, just named after him. If anyone else can come up with a good argument for a valid Redirect/Merge target, I would probably be willing to go with that, but as I can't really justify any myself, I am going with Delete.

Redirect to List of minor DC Comics characters because he meets the definition. I'm not opposed to deletion either, but might as well redirect. Rhino131 (talk) 17:13, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Redirect - Does this character have any coverage anywhere? Dark knight 2149 06:25, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete due to lack of any significant coverage. If redirected, 52 (comics) is likely best target. --Killer Moff- ill advisedly sticking his nose in since 2011 (talk) 15:31, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
