The result was delete. As per 's comment in the discussion, there's no point keeping the article around pending a merge just for the one line that got inserted during this deletion discussion. The line in question can just as easily be added to that list article directly. –Darkwind (talk) 23:54, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Iceberg (G.I. Joe)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a minor character, and there does not appear to be any significant critical coverage on him specifically. The sources in this article are trivial coverage (minor appearances in story arcs, lists of all characters). Fails both WP:GNG and WP:NCOMIC. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 02:17, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

Agree with BOZ User:Davidstewartharvey  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment: This one may have something more going for it that the typical character. Iceberg is the title character in the G.I. Joe cartoon episode "Iceberg Goes South", in which Cobra scientist Doctor Mindbender uses DNA to transform the character into a killer whale, whom the Joes must then safely capture and restore to being human. The episode has been described as one of the most bizarre G.I. Joe episodes. See That by itself probably won't get it over the hump for individual notability, but finding an additional reference along these lines should do so.  BD2412  T 02:38, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - There is no information in this article referenced to reliable, secondary sources, thus nothing to preserve or merge. The source brought up by BD2412 above is, alone, nowhere near close enough to allow this to pass the WP:GNG on its own, and no other reliable sources have been found.  If someone wants to use that source to add to his entry at the main List of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero characters, that is fine, but as that information is not currently in this article, keeping it around to merge is not necessary.  Rorshacma (talk) 14:49, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - supporting character in fictional universe - as shown by lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. Bearian (talk) 20:48, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
