List of Marvel Comics alternate universes

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This list is too in-depth for a general encyclopedia. Listing every single minor universe is too "plotish", and many of them seem like original research anyway. Multiverse (Marvel Comics), assuming that is an actual notable topic, can cover a few dozen of the more notable ones, but there is no need to list all of them. This was split from that article, so there is no need to merge. TTN (talk) 18:57, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete- excessive fancruft. It's almost entirely unsourced, making it very difficult to determine what is WP:OR. I suspect most of it is. There is no reason to go into so much trivial detail. Reyk  YO!  22:01, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep alternate universes play a major kind in DC and Marvel superhero comic books. J 1982 (talk) 22:04, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete There are no reliable sources given here, which is a real problem. Looking around reveals there might be a few - io9 probably qualifies - but right now I don't see enough to consider it significant coverage. If someone digs around and finds more truly reliable sources, I might change my thinking, but right now I don't see enough. Nwlaw63 (talk) 23:22, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment. I found a few top ten lists: Comics Alliance, MTV, Newsarama.  I'll leave it to others to decide if this means anything with regards to WP:LISTN. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:24, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
