Captain America (Marvel animated universe)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

For the same reasons out lined with regard to Articles for deletion/Flash (DC animated universe), Articles for deletion/Wonder Woman (DC animated universe), Articles for deletion/Blade (Marvel animated universe), Articles for deletion/Doctor Strange (Marvel animated universe), Articles for deletion/Superman (DC animated universe), and Articles for deletion/S.H.I.E.L.D. (Marvel animated universe). This article is a creation of original research that pulls information from various Wikipedia articles on comic book characters. Specifically: Things that are worth noting here: This, as with the listed AfD examples, is part of a recurring "bad content" issue where articles are fabricated in this manner. Frankly, on top of the OR issue, they are an unneeded and ill-advised content fork. We have had a number of like content fork lists and articles come through AfD and PROD from this editor, the bulk of which have resulted in the removal of the composite articles. This is becoming disruptive - the discovery of new or additional like "articles" after the last batch has been deleted and having to go through the same presentation that "Yes, it's content fork. Yes, it's a bad fork. And yes it is a carbon copy of already existing material." J Greb (talk) 22:22, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

 * The tone of this article implies that Captain America was an actual show with a set cast of characters.
 * The material incorperated within the "Character" section for Captain America amounts to "Actor and plot, very light on the actor." There is nothing provided that real world context for how the character was adapted. There is also nothing that provides for a characterization sketch, this may not be surprizing though since the character featured in 8 episodes across 3 different shows in the "main continuity", with 2 of those appearance being flashbacks.
 * The material in the "Other characters" is little better across the borad. And in the case of 5 of the characters, their appearance in the shows is not relavent to Captain America.
 * Sharon Carter - "A red-haired S.H.I.E.L.D. agent resembling..." is "Fans assume this is Sharon Carter." The character's appeare in the one show did not rely on Cap being there.
 * Nick Fury - Also appeared as his own character, not an apendage of Cap.
 * Rick Jones - Appeared as Hulk's "sidekick" in 2 of the 3 shows Cap never appeared in.
 * U.S. Agent - Appeared in a show not considered part of the MAU.

 * Delete - we've done this dance so many times before, as J Greb outlines above and is further discussed by the Comics Project here. (Emperor (talk) 22:33, 3 June 2010 (UTC))
 * Delete - as reasons above. Plus, isn't it time this kind of stuff really stopped taking up time so people are able to improve content, not just firefight. Archiveangel (talk) 17:18, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom.   talk 23:17, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per J Greb's reasoning. There isn't anything here concerning Captain America that could not be covered in Cap's main article, especially since he wasn't exactly a main character in the MAU. The stuff about other characters isn't directly related to Cap, either. Wikikaye 12:02, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
