Short arbitrarily defined list that seems to be based on WP:GREATWRONGS (why else would you list whether the writer is deaf or not, besides WP:COATRACKING in a point about deaf superhero authors?) and includes lots of non-notable examples. Dronebogus ( talk) 09:25, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Fictional elements, Disability, and Lists. Dronebogus ( talk) 09:25, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Overspecific, indiscriminate list, of which most of the entries are from a single work. A "List of superheroes with disabilities" may be a better idea (even if that is something of an oxymoron).

- I wouldn't consider that to be an oxymoron. Daredevil might have elevated abilities elsewhere, but he's still blind. Anyways, there should be a List of superheroes with disabilities. It has more notability than this. Thus I'm a delete for this, but there should be a list for the broader subject broken down by disability (deaf, blind, mental disabilities, paraplegic, etc.) Conyo14 ( talk) 18:30, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - Unfortunately, this is one where there just aren't enough to generate sufficient attention in the press. Wrinkling my nose at the proposition that someone is pushing a POV just for noting that a deaf writer worked on a deaf superhero, though. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 03:36, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Only three entrees have their own articles, so not enough to justify a list article. Dream Focus 14:02, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
