Non-notable character. No WP:GNG-compliant source that I can find. Avilich (talk) 18:03, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete - not nearly enough in-depth coverage to show that this character has any real-world notability.  Onel 5969  TT me 21:44, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fairly minor character that appeared in a handful of comics before largely vanishing from use. I'm not finding any real coverage of the character in reliable sources - even official DC guidebooks like the DC Encyclopedia don't appear to have a dedicated entry for the character, which kind of demonstrate how minor of footnote in comic history he was.

 * Delete The article written like a plot summary and based mainly on primary references. I doubt that will change since the Black Beetle is such a minor character. So I don't see reason to keep this. --Adamant1 (talk) 22:28, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge to Jaime Reyes, unless more sourcing can be found for the characters cross media appearances (animation, video games etc) which I would see as a stronger reason to keep. Artw (talk) 00:34, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge or redirect per above, not seeing anything about reception/significance justifying a stand-alone article. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:10, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Blue Beetle enemies where the character already has an entry. Rhino131 (talk) 18:57, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Blue Beetle enemies where the character already has an entry per the last two "voters." Since that seems like the best option. --Adamant1 (talk) 20:08, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect. Did I see it in the comic book store window one day…? Regardless, WP:GNG is absent. -  GizzyCatBella  🍁  08:36, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge with List of DC Comics characters: B in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. We have to put his media appearance somewhere on this website. --Rtkat3 (talk) 23:36, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
