Crisis (DC Comics)

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

Primary sources and original research since at least a decade ago. Subgroup of DC Comics crossover events, listed at Publication history of DC Comics crossover events. The biggest flaw, it points that not all events count as a "crisis", but does not clarify which is the criteria for that, as not even having "crisis" in the title seems to be it.

 * Delete - I appreciate the idea behind this, but I cannot imagine a decent article ever being crafted around it. The inclusion criteria given is an event with potentially great consequences, which seems like it could encompass everything DC ever published. A redirect to Crisis on Infinite Earths would be useful, as that series is frequently referred to as just "Crisis." Argento Surfer (talk) 13:05, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * if A redirect to Crisis on Infinite Earths would be useful, why are you advocating for this to be deleted? ~Kvng (talk) 13:31, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Because there's no need to preserve page history, also because I think I meant it to read "could be." Argento Surfer (talk) 14:23, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * A redirect is fine. This thing about the "Crisis-level" disaster does exist within comics, with COIE being the big one; and although plot elements do not always have notability to warrant an article, there's no problem in redirecting them to the work they come from. As for page history, I don't see any harm done if it's kept. We have WP:CRD listing the cases where something should be removed from page history (rather than just reverted or removed), and this doesn't seem to be the case.

 * Delete. What we have here is a list of events named Crisis in DC Comics, a failure of WP:LISTN. And WP:GNG, of course. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 12:44, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - As an article on the concept of "an event with potentially great consequences", its mostly WP:OR. As a "List of DC Comics with the word Crisis in it" it fails WP:LISTN.  And in either case, it is an unnecessary split from Publication history of DC Comics crossover events where all of the actually notable events covered here are listed and described in a much more succinct fashion.
