The result was Delete. Clearly unsupportable on its own, and there is no suitable merge target such as List of minor characters in Daredevil (though I suspect this character isn't even notable enough for that). Black Kite 23:24, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Amanda (comics)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable comic book character that appeared in one issue of Daredevil in 1989. There doesn't appear to be anything to suggest the character will appear again. Stephen Day (talk) 01:21, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge a little to an article about minor Daredevil characters, assuming one exists. Delete otherwise, and consider creating such an article.  --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 01:51, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as nn. JJL (talk) 02:23, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge/ Redirect (although a non-searchable term, the redirect can be useful for the Amanda dab page) to Daredevil (Marvel Comics). -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 02:29, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment If you're suggesting that this article be merged into Daredevil (Marvel Comics), then I respectfully disagree. Daredevil and his series have a 40+ year history. If every character that has ever appeared in that series were listed in that section, the result would be an unworkable mess. Stephen Day (talk) 02:47, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the list that I proposed merging it to isn't that big. And if it does get to big it can always be split into a seperate article. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 21:33, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment True, its not that big now. What will happen if Amanda (comics) gets merged there? With 40+ years of history you're talking thousands of characters that have a similar place in the series' history as Amanda. Characters with only single issue appearances should have some tangible impact beyond that one issue before they're notable enough to be listed somewhere. The character Amanda appeared in that one issue and has no impact beyond that. I don't believe that the floodgates should be opened to every character that has ever appeared in an issue of a comic book getting mentioned somewhere on Wikipedia.

 * Delete. Per Stephen's comment above, this goes beyond the definition of a "minor" character. --  K é iryn talk 03:11, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, no sources indicating notabilility. Blast Ulna (talk) 05:22, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * delete non-notable subject, delete if there is no article that it would be reasonable to merge this with. ImperviusXR (talk) 11:18, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge/redirect as per Brewcrewer. paranomia (formerly tim.bounceback) a door? 20:56, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect as outlined above for now; I'm busy at the moment on a similar project, but I intend on soon helping to create a page to merge minor Marvel characters to. BOZ (talk) 21:53, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment BOZ, I respect and support your efforts along those lines, but this character is a different matter from the characters that will go onto a minor Marvel characters list. I don't believe this character is even major enough for that list. She wasn't even given a last name. Stephen Day (talk) 23:03, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
