Ian Rogers (character)

All I could find for this character were Valnet sources or posts from the official Marvel site. The character appears to also be an extremely minor one, and the article itself is rather small. A basic merge of character info to the list is probably more than enough to suffice here. Has one ever considered Magneton?

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 01:51, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete - Appears to be a very minor character, with only a handful of actual appearances. Searching under all of the various names given to the character turns up very little coverage in actual reliable sources (i.e., sources that are not fan wikis or official Marvel pages). There are just a few handful of sites simply summarizing a few of the issues he appeared in. On top of that, both entries in the "In other media" section are on two completely different characters, so I am not sure why they are even listed there, and of course those appearances would not demonstrate any notability for this character.

 * Delete per Rorshacma. Doesn't have enough coverage to pass the WP:GNG. Without enough sources, it might even have fundamental issues with WP:V. Shooterwalker (talk) 17:44, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge with List of Marvel Comics characters: R in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. --Rtkat3 (talk) 17:55, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Marvel Comics characters: R per above, lacks IRS with SIGCOV.  // Timothy :: talk  22:41, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Comment To address the proposed ATD as suggested by the relisting, the character is completely non-notable and poorly sourced. Merging anywhere would just result in the non-notable and poorly sourced information being shifted to another page, which would just mean the exact same problems that prompted this AFD would now just exist on a different page. Again, I want to point out that the listings in the "Other Versions" and "In Other Media" sections are not the same characters, meaning there is literally one very short paragraph of poorly sourced information in this article even about the subject. Citing WP:PRESERVE is not a a magic passphrase that means that one can completely ignore addressing the blatant notability and sourcing concerns with this fictional character.

 * I wouldn't be opposed to a deletion verdict should that come to be the case, especially given the points acknowledged here. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 01:43, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
