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. All sources are PRIMARY or are TRIVIAL mentions in passing, article is pure PLOT/list of appearances. FANCRUFT. Usual dePROD by the same editor without any explanation despite one being explicitly requested in my PROD note. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:40, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

- Merge with Darkseid. I don't see how Parademons are independently notable, considering how they are just an army of nameless creatures. Another possible merge target is Apokolips if that article is kept. I'm open to suggestions by others. Rhino131 ( talk) 16:14, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Keep: Pass WP:NCOMIC --"Featured prominently in an animated/live-action series or movie of a comic book property (e.g. not a cameo)". These fictional creatures had appeared in Justice League film. PATH SLOPU 12:41, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
- Keep or Merge: On one hand, it passes WP:NCOMIC and WP:NFICTION (from a technical perspective). On the other hand, they are just standard mindless henchmen in Jack Kirby's Fourth World (and are adapted and covered as such), so a merge would be justified.
