American Son (comics)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is nothing more than a plot dump, and provides no indication of being notable. Relevant plot details already exist in various character pages, but there are too many main cast members to redirect to just one of them. Page was previously PRODed, which was contested in favor of merge, though no merge candidate was suggested. Argento Surfer (talk) 19:38, 13 February 2013 (UTC)


 * The "Dark Reign" section could be merged into the Harry Osborn article and the "Heroic Age" section could be merged into the Gabriel Stacy article. Obviously both sections would have to be drastically cut down. Then this page could be made into a disambiguation page leading to both of those articles, and possible The Amazing Spider-Man since that is the comic book series the first storyline was in.

 * Delete - At best, and this may be opening a bigger can of beans, this and a lot of similar articles should be compacted into "List of Character Foo story arcs" similar to episode lists. As it stands the article:
 * Does not demonstrate that the story arc is notable in its own right. (Yes, Spider-Man, the Osborns, and The Amazing Spider-Man are notable. That doesn't make the story automatically notable.)
 * Does not demonstrate that the later limited series is notable.
 * It implies a strong linkage between the two with out providing secondary sources for that linkage.
 * It has next to nil real world context. An even that is bundles into only the infobox and lead. (American Son (comics) is sales trivia and shows nothing about a critical response, review, or discussion about the story.)
 * As for merging or redirecting... I don't see it. It's a blip - 1 line - at best for Harry Osborn, which needs a hell of a lot of attention as it is most a plot dump itself. And Gabriel and Sarah Stacy is something that should be merged in to List of Marvel Comics characters: S, not have more plot added.

 * I only mentioned those articles for places to merge because Argento Surfer said "no merge candidate was suggested." I would be fine if the article was deleted. Spidey  104  19:43, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
