Asbestos Man

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not meet WP:GNG. Character appears less than ten times, according to Marvel Wikia. Namenamenamenamename (talk) 16:52, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per evidence below of meeting the WP:GNG, or failing that merge into List of Marvel Comics characters: A or Great Lakes Avengers. No need to delete when merge is a valid option. BOZ (talk) 21:18, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
 * There is not really any evidence proving Wp:GNG yet though that I know of IMO. Jhenderson  7 7 7  01:55, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep - Looks like it passes GNG to me, based on reference 6, and these: |1] and [|2]. --Killer Moff (talk) 14:05, 1 February 2019 (UTC)


 * No not really. Absestos Lady gets more coverage and she is even more obscure. All those sources are broke too.  Jhenderson  7 7 7  22:53, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Reference six, as well as both of the sources you tried linking to here, are just blogs. Blogs are generally not considered reliable secondary sources for the purposes of passing the GNG.169.232.162.112 (talk) 17:07, 7 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep comic book character that passes GNG. Wikiman5676 (talk) 03:54, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge: Both Asbestos Lady and Asbestos Man were only notable for one thing. For being asbestos type villains to their flaming counterpart. But they are extremely minor and they didn’t last long. Not enough coverage. I wish he appeared more since he is a Stan Lee original but he has passes on in both in real life and in-universe. Jhenderson  7 7 7  22:53, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of Marvel Comics characters: A. The few sources provided that are not the comics themselves are blogs and official marvel handbooks.  These do not meet the requirements of being reliable secondary sources.  However, they do provide enough that I think a merge would be appropriate.  169.232.162.112 (talk) 17:14, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ad Orientem (talk) 00:53, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Appears in The Supervillain Handbook, The Encyclopedia of Super Villains and The Rough Guide to Superheroes and so passes the WP:GNG. Andrew D. (talk) 09:55, 8 February 2019 (UTC)


 * No. These are primary sources where any Marvel character or super villains can appear. You need to read GNG again. Jhenderson  7 7 7  15:50, 8 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete - does not meet my criteria for a merge or redirect. Argento Surfer (talk) 21:30, 8 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Merge to List of Marvel Comics characters: A. Appeared in media popular enough that someone might want to read about it, but that doesn't require its own article.  - WPGA2345 -  ☛  01:05, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
