Comparison of Marvel and DC

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article is largely unsourced and written like a WP:OR essay. Some references are unverifiable or give only historical context for one company or the other. "Multiple issues" template has been up for one year with no significant improvement. HalJor (talk) 17:04, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep, article is in terrible shape but a simple google search would tell anyone that this is a notable subject with tons of coverage. . Took me five seconds to find these, I could easily find more.★Trekker (talk) 18:37, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. The "coverage" is just a bunch of opinion pieces, most of them clickbait. (World Cup teams as Marvel vs DC? Seriously?) The topic is inherently WP:OR, and the time that would have to be spent on dressing it up to pretend it belongs in an encyclopedia could be better spent elsewhere. -Jason A.

 * Comment - There has been considerable (reliable) coverage of the rivalry between the companies and the differences between them, but the rivalry has been one-sided for most of their history and the differences have varied over time. I think a decent article on the topic could be written, but I'm not sure it would contain much if any of the content currently written. There's no deadline, so the age of the multiple issues banner doesn't merit consideration, but I'm undecided if it's beneficial to readers to keep this content until improvements are made.

 * Weak delete. I agree with much of what Argento said. While I believe the article as it stands now is a lot of OR, a better fit that could use reliable sources would be History of DC-Marvel rivalry. Not much of this content is worth keeping, imo.

 * Delete The article is most mostly opinionated. If anything Marvel Comics and DC Comics could have a section mentioning the rivalry. That said I still don't see much in the article that would be carried over. Gameinfirmary (talk) 12:47, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
