What is the need to make a disambiguation page for the "World's Greatest Detective"? Besides that mentioning those characters as the world's greatest detectives may be a bit POV, I doubt somebody would type the "world's greatest detective" on Wikipedia, making it an useless disambiguation page. Also, no article links it. --The Typos Checker (fixed typos) 22:36, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, none of these items is specifically called "world's greatest detective" explicitly. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 23:31, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this steaming pile of WP:OR. Fictional detectives has several (unranked) sublists. That's enough. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:07, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Several of these characters might have been called his once, but it is generally only used to describe Batman. However, it should not redirect to Batman, as this is a promotional term that could be applied to any detective. Honestly, this is a collection of original research and fancruft. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 15:30, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Ten Pound Hammer and Clarityfiend. --HappyWithWhatYouHaveToBeHappyWith (talk) 21:13, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above comments. Not a useful dab page and just fancruft. Waddles 🗩 🖉 17:21, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, unsourced WP:OR. While a few of these might be citeable as a term used for them in their setting, it's not a likely search term for any of them and therefore not suitable for a redirect or disambig page. --Aquillion (talk) 20:35, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
