List of Marvel Comics characters who can fly
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

Both of the other lists of fictional characters who can fly have been deleted: both List of fictional characters who can fly at this AfD and List of DC Comics characters who can fly at this AfD. These lists are all non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations that constitute original research; this article should therefore be deleted. Neelix (talk) 17:25, 8 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete very much per nom. We don't need conjunction lists like this. Zakhalesh (talk) 20:21, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment That a character flies is empirically observable. Speculation is not required. Furthermore, no article subject is required to have an indivisible set of attributes. For example, UK Prime Ministers includes both the set United Kingdom and the set Prime Ministers. Inasmuch as the other two AFDs might have been based on the erroneous assumption that the articles were OR because of the reasons given above, their outcome would have been wrong. The nomination is entirely on the basis of the incorrect use of OR, and an WP:OTHERSTUFF-like quoting of outcomes. Other than the incorrect use of Logical conjunction, Zakhalesh' argument is entirely on the basis of WP:NOTUSEFUL. If these were the only considerations, I would vote Keep.

 * Delete. Per precedent established at the AfDs mentioned in the nomination, these kinds of lists are unencyclopedic cross-categorizations. Reyk  YO!  09:26, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment The current list is the result of a group decision to use a robot to convert a category to a list.

 * Delete. Aside from the other, quite valid concerns, about 95% of all superheroes can fly anyway. It's as useful as List of fish species that can swim or List of songs with music in them. Fletch the Mighty (talk) 16:45, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
