Coal Tiger

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

Minor comic book character, reception limited to two listicles. I've PRODDED this with "he coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Notability (fiction) supplementary essay. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar.". User:BOZ removed prod suggesting a merge to A-Next, where he is briefly mention, but nobody but us commented at Talk:A-Next, so there is no strong support for merge. Worse, it appears that the name was used for several comic book characters. Our article for example is about T'Chaka II using it, while the only source we have that meets WP:SIGCOV about him (but otherwise seems like an unreliable fanpage),, is about T'Challa. Maybe a disambig page would be needed, but if none of his incarnations meet GNG, I am not sure if even that is justified. In either case, I am still not seeing what could be merged to where, given all we have is a plot summary and two low quality listicles ("10 Most Powerful Alternate Versions Of Black Panther", "15 Most Powerful Variants Of Black Panther In Marvel Comics"etc.).

 * Merge to A-Next as I previous suggested. BOZ (talk) 03:24, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge to his section at A-Next. --Rtkat3 (talk) 02:37, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to A-Next - While there are other characters or references to characters using the name, the A-Next version does appear to be the most prominent (comparatively at least. He's not a particularly prominent character in general). Being mentioned in low-quality listicles is not sufficient to pass the WP:GNG. Rorshacma (talk) 16:42, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * If it has to come to the merge outcome, send their information to the List of DC Comics characters: C page. That is what I am asking from the closer of this AFD debate. --Rtkat3 (talk) 17:52, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge as WP:ATD. I see sources that talk about this character. If people disagree there is still enough to WP:PRESERVE this somewhere. Archrogue (talk) 20:46, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Selective Merge to A-Next, I can find nothing that would indicate this character passes GNG, but slightly more context should be added to the article on the team about them. Devonian Wombat (talk) 11:29, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
