Bruce Wayne (Batverse character)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:N by a longshot. This article is nothing but a fork of The Batman (film)—the vast majority of the information in here is copy-and-pasted unaltered from that article, and what isn't is nothing more than unsourced fancruft, a coatrack for in-universe information, and pure speculation (the film isn't even out yet!).

 * Delete - As stated in the nom, this is an unnecessary WP:FORK of The Batman (film) with most of the sourced content copied from that article, and a healthy sprinkling of WP:OR on top of that. As the movie this version of Batman is debuting in is not even released yet, it seems to be WP:TOOSOON for separate article. Rorshacma (talk) 20:10, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:TOOSOON. This may be notable enough to get an article one day, but it is too soon for now as the film has not even been released. Aoba47 (talk) 02:34, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm not seeing the need for this page. Popcornfud (talk) 17:18, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Batman (film). I know I'm the odd one out here, but I believe redirects are better than deletion when a plausible redirect can be made. Sumanuil 22:24, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Batman (film) as per Sumanuil. The sole purpose of redirects is to leave a trail leading to relevant information from that deleted article. I was almost leaning towards draftifying the article, but then again, a redirect would be more useful at this point, at least until the film gets released and the article gains slightly more relevance, at which point it could potentially be re-created in draft form.

 * My issue with Redirecting is that the term "Batverse" is not yet even the official term for this version of the character. The phrase was used offhandidly by Matt Reeves in a single interview while discussing his hopes for the franchise, and does not appear to be any kind of official designation.  In fact, the term is not even used at all in the actual article on The Batman (film).  Hence, I have strong doubts on how plausible of a redirect this actually would be.   Rorshacma (talk) 01:30, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * You have a point there, but is there an official term? Sumanuil 02:13, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * At the moment, no. I'd also like to add that I'd probably oppose this article being recreated after the film is out, too. It's still going to be a fork with little that wouldn't be outside The Batman scope. JOE BRO  64  03:21, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, I see Rorshacma and TheJoebro64's points. Moving to Delete. If necessary, a new redirect can be created after deletion anyway. Liamyangll (talk to me!) 09:03, 24 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete - Not enough in-depth coverage to show it has any real world notability.  Onel 5969  TT me 16:36, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: Concur with arguments made above. This article also fails to meet WP:ATTREQ for the forking. I didn’t even know what Batverse was supposed to mean, so I doubt the casual searcher will either. Maybe it will catch on, but it’ll take some time, and for a single movie so far, the main page is sufficient. —2pou (talk) 16:56, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
