Casket of Ancient Winters

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable fictional item, deprodded on the summer solstice. Absolutely no reliable sources exist for this item. It is mentioned in a book by its creator, and that mention, besides being in-house, does not make it notable. Abductive (talk) 22:15, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep, or merge into Features of the Marvel Universe. BOZ (talk) 01:47, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Features... Individual articles on elements like this are not appropriate, but there is nor reason why some coverage of them is unsuitable. DGG (talk) 17:56, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep A notable item found in my popular comic books. There was one time it was used in one comic book, and many of the other comic books in the Marvel universe had snow in it for that issue as well, being affected by it, usually just mentioning in passive why there was snow everywhere.  Something that spread across a lot of different popular and notable comic book series, is quite notable.   D r e a m Focus  21:37, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, according to the sole (self-published) source that refers to this item, the boss "sent a memo around saying, 'here's the deal. it's going to be winter in the Marvel Universe whatever month that issue's coming out. If you want to do something with that, that's cool. If you don't, that's okay too.'" This suggests that the whole thing was not important, and that the casket of ancient winters was not the cause of the winter. But all this is moot; no reliable sources discuss this item. Therefore it does not deserve a stand-alone article.
 * Don't you feel that all these stubs are kind of lost? Lonely scraps of information with no context and all the wonderment from your (and my) childhood wrung out of them, and their dry hides nailed to a wall in Wikipedia? Abductive (talk) 22:08, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It really is a shame... I wish I had the time, energy, and resources to fix them all. :\ But... I don't feel that my lack of ability is a reason to delete anything - merging it now would allow it to be improved down the line, if someone were to find such an undertaking worthwhile.
