 * Delete - in-universe focused article that on a WP:BEFORE doesn't have notability independent of the subject. WP:GNG is not met; this article would be better suited for a Wikia.  A redirect is a bit insensible since I don't see the disambiguation as being a term to be searched.   Red Phoenix  talk  15:23, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge to List of Marvel Comics characters: D. BOZ (talk) 15:37, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Marvel is thriving on the big screen but lagging in comic sales. It could implode like DC comics. Marvel seems to be focusing more on being politically correct and that is turning off a lot of its readers.. The USA and Western World is deeply divided politically and taking a side in the culture wars can be very bad for business. And I don't see a character named Dirtnap making a sensation on the big screen so this is not a case of WP:Too Soon. Captain America is much more a "leading man" character for the big screen than Dirtnap. And because Marvel comics was bought by Disney which also leans left politically, I don't see Marvel getting out of the political influence focus and instead focus more on gaining market share. In other words, Marvel comics will keep losing market share and become less profitable. Eventually, it could go out of business like DC Comics.Knox490 (talk) 02:20, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * None of this addresses deletion policy or the existence or non-existence of in-depth sourcing to support an article. Uncle G (talk) 08:13, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * It seems to me to be more in the category of "rambling diatribe"? BOZ (talk) 12:34, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Pure fancruft, belongs in Wikia only.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 13:46, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:GNG. I don't see the character mentioned at Hellions or Generation X, and Dark Riders I think also fails GNG. --Killer Moff- ill advisedly sticking his nose in since 2011 (talk) 12:48, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
