 * Delete Extremely minor Marvel character who, as far as I can tell, only appeared in a single, out-of-continuity story. There are no reliable sources demonstrating any kind of real world notability for the character, or even any notability within the fictional universe for that matter.  Unlike the various other Marvel cosmic entities that have come to AFD as of late, her non-canon status means this should not be redirected to the List of cosmic entities in Marvel Comics, and she should probably be removed from that list.

 * Keep There's detailed coverage in sources such as this, which describes Tom Brevoort's comment as a joke and so we should not make too much of it.  The worst case would be merger into a larger page such as Galactus per our policy WP:PRESERVE, but it's fine as it is as we are not required to feed the insatiable hunger of those who would devour our content.

 * WP:PRESERVE states "As long as any facts or ideas would belong in an encyclopedia, they should be retained in Wikipedia." It isn't a catch all that all information everywhere must be retained (WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE). Specifically, it relates to information within relevant articles, not articles as a whole. Galacta fails WP:GNG, in that there is no ongoing coverage in reliable secondary sources. I don't even see a reliable place to redirect, although I'm sure it will be redirected shortly after it's deleted.

 * Re "ongoing"... and I quote "once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage. " That said, I have no opinion about this topic's coverage or notability (ongoing or otherwise). Normal Op (talk) 21:51, 13 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Merge to List of Marvel Comics characters: G where Galacta is already listed - Epinoia (talk) 02:18, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge per above. The CBR coverage is interesting, but I don't think it is sufficient to make this pass WP:NFICTION. Fictional characters need more than 1-2 writeups on their version of trade journals, I think to be notable. Did anyone discuss the character's creation history or reception? Is there anything to write beyond what CBR did, which is one short para on where she was introduced, then fictional character bio and description? If not, I think this is not significant enough to be in general encyclopedia, we have Marvel/comic wikias for that. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 10:42, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
