Empire State University

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I prodded this with "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Notability (fiction) supplementary essay. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. " It was then redirected by User:Jhenderson777 to Features of the Marvel Universe (quite a problematic article in itself), but the redirect was quickly undone by User:Lowellian with the edit summary "believe subject is notable". Well, per my argument above I don't believe this subject is notable, this is the usual background location in comics and the article is nothing but a list of comic book issues and plotlines it passively appears in. For a related discussion from few months ago see Articles for deletion/Hudson University, but here I think the sourcing is even worse (note: there appears to a real word organization using this name which seems to be mention in passing in some sources too; it may be just a misnaming for the real-world Empire State College...).

 * Delete, the overwhelming majority of sources cited are not secondary, independent, or significant coverage, and there doesn't seem to be any anywhere else. Fails WP:GNG. Avilich (talk) 19:50, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
