The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
Comment to closing admin "Keep" votes without evidence should be completely ignored per
WP:NOTAVOTE policy. Daranios was the first one to advance an actual argument. The sources shown by Daranios are a good start, but I'm not sure it's enough to outright convince me it passes GNG.

Keep: There are existing secondary sources in the article: Marvel Comics in the 1960s: An Issue By Issue Field Guide to a Pop Culture Phenomenon and American Comic Book Chronicles: The 1970s. The nominator did not address why these secondary sources should not be considered sufficient to demonstrate notability.

The sentence that cites said sources has near-nil in the way of anything beyond the most cursory description, leading me to believe they have only the most trivial and passing of mentions. I would assume if they said anything more, it would have been integrated into the article, or at least brought to the attention of editors on the talk page. Perhaps that is incorrect, but it is the article creator's
WP:BURDEN to demonstrate that.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Relisting. While the Keep arguments might be weak, I see no support currently for Deletion. For those editors advocating a Merge or Redirect, is the suggested target article acceptable? Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, LizRead!Talk!20:53, 18 January 2024 (UTC)reply
Comment: While we've been talking,
User:Higher Further Faster has improved the page dramatically, with a Reception section that includes a widely-discussed flap on Fox News specifically about whether this villain group is being used in Captain America comics to malign conservatives. I would encourage everyone in this discussion so far to check out the improvement, and see if it changes your opinion on notability.
