Angel Gang

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fictional group/organization. No evidence of stand-alone notability. Not a shred of analysis. Pure WP:PLOT and list of appearances in media. Fails WP:PLOT, WP:GNG, WP:NFICTION. BEFORE shows nothing that's not in passing or a plot summary. Deprodded by User:Necrothesp with no rationale. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 10:34, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep or at worst fully merge to List of organizations in Judge Dredd. Deleting information serves no useful purpose even if a standalone article is not kept. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:03, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Non-encyclopedic information should be deleted.If you want to keep as an independent article, please demonstrate independent, real-world (not "in-universe") notability. --Nicknack009 (talk) 12:34, 28 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep. The characters have appeared prominently in multiple mediums including comics spanning over 30 years, a major film, a video game, tabletop miniatures, and boardgames. The claim that the article contains no analysis is incorrect; the publication history section discusses the popularity of the characters and the response to the decision to resurrect characters, which influenced the wider editorial direction of the comic 2000 AD.

 * The publication history is referenced to WP:PRIMARY sources and any analysis based on this is WP:OR. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:09, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Also in-universe notability only. Real world notability not demonstrated. --Nicknack009 (talk) 08:10, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I've added some third party source citations for the inclusion of the Angel Gang in other works and for the popularity of the characters. McPhail (talk) 22:47, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fictional. Not a shred of analysis. Pure PLOT. Fails GNG and NFICTION.Kacper IV (talk) 11:57, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
