Dinosaur Island

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar." It was deprodded by User:Andrew Davidson with no meaningful rationale (despite the fact that I explicitly asked for one in the PROD).

 * Keep The PROD was disruptive because that process is only for "uncontroversial deletion" and "must only be used if no opposition to the deletion is expected". But the nominator's attempt to give instructions to opposers indicates  that they expect them.  And I naturally oppose such cases because the nomination's assertions lack evidence and are false.  The topic is covered in detail in works such as Prehistoric Monsters: The Real and Imagined Creatures of the Past That We Love to Fear and The Horror Comics – Fiends, Freaks and Fantastic Creatures, 1940s-1980s.  Applicable policies and guidelines include WP:ATD; WP:BEFORE; WP:BITE; WP:NEXIST; WP:PRESERVE; &c. Andrew🐉(talk) 13:59, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The War that Time Forgot, the comic series in which this fictional location first appeared and was heavily featured in. Pretty much all of the sources that discuss the DC-specific location of the name, including those mentioned by Andrew above, talk very little of the actual fictional location in any depth, and are more on the comic in which it was featured.  Some light Merging may be possible, though very little of the information here is actually sourced.  Rorshacma (talk) 18:57, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect/Selective merge - Per .  Dark knight  2149  22:23, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The War that Time Forgot per User:Rorshacma. I checked Andrew D's supposed sources and the location is only mentioned in passing in both of them.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 01:38, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - None of the sources cited discuss the subject in-depth. They seem to be rehashes of a plot, with no indication of significance instead of the fictional universe in question. - GizzyCatBella  🍁  09:36, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - Let this page stay per the post of . If this gets deleted, then the other Dinosaur Island articles will have to be placed in a disambiguation page. If this page is saved, I suggest it be named Dinosaur Island (comics) and have it's link included in the disambiguation page as well. --Rtkat3 (talk) 19:20, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Reviewing the coverage in reliable sources, it is only mentioned in passing, and not enough to meet the WP:GNG. Redirects are acceptable and cheap. Jontesta (talk) 20:45, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect or delete - Topic lacks real world coverage needed to meet WP:GNG. TTN (talk) 17:37, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The War that Time Forgot, no sources (including above) have WP:SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth.  // Timothy ::  talk  20:56, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
