Halflife (comics)
Non-notable, painfully short, establishes virtually nothing about the character. Delete - SoM 12:26, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge or keep fancruft. Kappa 12:39, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Title is misleading; it seems to indicate a comic about the popular computer game, but instead it's a minor character in the Marvel universe. Said character should be listed on a minor characters listing somewhere, and I guess this title could redirect there. Radiant_* 14:14, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect . Keep and rename Megan1967 02:04, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable character, article has virtually no content. -Sean Curtin 02:19, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect as per Radiant and Megan1967. OK, either we agree on a policy to delete all articles on minor Marvel Comics characters or we just keep the thing. Seems to me like we delete alot of stuff that is more notable than this, though. It all boils down to: notable for whom? --Smithfarm
 * Comment ummm - what to merge WITH? Pick a page... (Responding to new comment above) I'm not opposed to having articles on minor characters. I'm opposed to having pages which barely qualify as substubs, never mind stubs on minor characters. When I VfDed this, the page read "Halflife is a Marvel Comics supervillain." That was IT. If it gets up to a decent paragraph, I'm perfectly willing to withdraw my objection to it staying, but I don't see any great prospect of this, ergo the VfD. - SoM 16:55, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep. There are a bunch of other articles that are worse than this one that are not even being considered candidates for deletion! All you have to do is find out information about this character and put it into the article- don't delete the article! - Graham P 8:10, 29 March 2005 (UTC)


 * I hereby change my vote to No vote. --Smithfarm


 * Well the normal thing is to click on "what links here" to find a suitable candidate, which would be perhaps List of Marvel Comics characters or maybe Nooks and corners of Wikipedia that should be frequented Kappa 17:53, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Lack of content is not a reason for deletion. Xezbeth  17:08, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * As a major fan of Marvel Comics who has read most of the issues in which this character appeared, I still say delete.DS 23:36, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep I think there is enough there and in the related pages to keep the material. Hopefully, the WikiProject Comics initiative will result in some better organization within this category, and thence perhaps this page and others will be merged or expanded as appropriate. -- Glen Finney 19:59, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
