 * Keep or merge to List of Elseworlds publications as it a notable Flash comic book story. Dwanyewest (talk) 23:35, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Notable how? It only has one citation and it's an interview. Industrial Insect (talk) 23:51, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep the information with merge being the best option at present. It's a story of some note even if it doesn't meet that GNG that I helped come up with all those years ago, which I mention just so I don't have to argue about what notability means. There's something here that needs to be conveyed to the reader and we need to work out how and where, but deletion isn't the answer to the problem here. Working out how and where to present the information is the problem, and deleting doesn't do that. As per the Editing policy, can I ask that we look at other options before deletion. Would love to merge, but don't have the time and deletion debate is now underway. H i ding T 11:30, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * So far the only argument so far for keeping is "it's notable" with no explanation of why. Flashpoint is already listed in the List of Elseworlds publications, so there is no reason to keep this article. Industrial Insect (talk) 14:24, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * LOSE and JNN pretty much sums up the arguments made so far. Industrial Insect (talk) 14:34, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Elseworlds publications - It does not appear to be a particularly notable storyline. The few sources that come up on it are basically just a few short "Did you know that there was another Flash story called "Flashpoint" before the actually notable Flashpoint (comics)?" type articles. And when the most notable thing about the comic is that its not the notable comic with the same title, that is probably a sign that it does not pass the WP:GNG. It it already listed and briefly described at List of Elseworlds publications, so a Redirect there would be fine. Rorshacma (talk) 19:22, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above. The only coverage I can find is of the "actually, there was another Flashpoint first" and then going on to talk about the one that was interesting instead. It's a footnote. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 19:36, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
 * redirect/merge Babysharkboss2 was here!! — Preceding undated comment added 14:59, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Elseworlds publications, not notable enough for a separate article and it's already mentioned in that section. Suonii180 (talk) 09:15, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
