 * Redirect to List of Marvel Comics characters: F - no real world notability. Onel 5969  TT me 00:24, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
 * redirect - references are exclusively in-universe. Staszek Lem (talk) 01:24, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge to List of Marvel Comics characters: F. BOZ (talk) 03:23, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep The nomination fails to consider alternatives to deletion as required by WP:BEFORE. Per WP:NEXIST, the current state of the article is not a reason to delete and it seems easy to find sources such as this.  The page should therefore be kept for improvement per our policies WP:IMPERFECT and WP:PRESERVE. Andrew D. (talk) 08:56, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Is there anything in the source you provided that could be used to improve the article? Does this passing mention of how a Bothrops lanceolatus has been used in popular culture really show the comic character is notable? The start of the next paragraph even implies the character isn't notable ("on a slightely higher literary note...") Argento Surfer (talk) 15:49, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Serpent Society. Fails WP:GNG. (Andrew's provided source is a trivial passing mention). Reasonably viable search term and the redirect makes the most sense as it contains all the basic information. --Killer Moff- ill advisedly sticking his nose in since 2011 (talk) 12:57, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of Captain America enemies. Based on the sources provided, the character is only notable as an enemy of Captain America. When links from Template:Captain America are discounted, the article is linked in-line by only 10 non-list articles. All of those are limited to name-drops.

 * I would also be ok with Serpent Society per Moff. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:14, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per Andrew D. Oranjelo100 (talk) 15:29, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Serpent Society. It fails the WP:GNG as there appear to be no sources that actually have any in-depth discussion of the character beyond passing mention or plot summaries.  The Serpent Society page makes more sense as the redirect target than List of Marvel Comics characters: F, as she is already sufficiently covered there.
