Justice League Antarctica

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

From the out-of-universe perspective, this "group" is just one of the jokes made by Keith Giffen during his run with the Justice League. It lasted for a single issue (and it wasn't even their own issue, but a common Annual of the Justice League comic book). It's right that the characters were a recurring "villain" team during Giffen's run, but as the Injustice League. That's the way they were always referenced. It can't be compared with Justice League Europe, a spin-of of the League published by the same time: JLE had its own title, its own story arcs, its own members with leaving and joining people along the publishing history, characters created in this comic book title, etc. In short, a spin-of notable enough to deserve an article of its own, and all those reasons are missing in "Justice League Antarctica".

 * Delete- this article consists of nothing but in-universe plot summary, and places undue weight on an extremely minor element of this comic book series. Reyk  YO!  00:39, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect or delete and redirect. It's a good search term, with no dab, but there probably isn't much on them if they were only in one issue. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 01:56, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I'm not a native English speaker. What's a "dab"? MBelgrano (talk) 11:13, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * "Dab" is short for "disambiguation"; how Wikipedia deals with two different subjects that have the same name. Reyk  YO!  07:39, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
