 * Merge or redirect to Micromasters. J I P  &#124; Talk 07:51, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
 * delete or merge No one is talking about this in an out-of-universe context. HominidMachinae (talk) 23:39, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - No reliably sourced coverage to support claim of notability. In-world cruft is insufficient. Tarc (talk) 03:00, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete no coverage in reliable independent sources to WP:verify notability. Shooterwalker (talk) 01:33, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Question - I noticed you voted merge to Micromasters for Bombshock and delete for Dropshot, yet they are nearly identical characters, they were released at the same time, appeared in the same comics as each other, had the same sources, they are nearly identical characters. I don't see the consistancy. Mathewignash (talk) 09:20, 13 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete no reliable sources = no article.Dwanyewest (talk) 17:31, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: No objective evidence to presume that the fictional character as a stand-alone topic meets the general notability guideline. Due to the disambiguation in the article title and the lack of reliable secondary sources, I think that neither a redirect nor a merge are justified. Jfgslo (talk) 00:36, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
