List of human superheroes in DC Comics

There is nothing special or particularly notable about being a human superhero, which is what most superheroes are already. Fails WP:LISTCRUFT as having a non notable concept/being unreferenced, and WP:FANCRUFT. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 05:58, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete If this could be sourced to something that reliably did the work for us of working out which characters qualify as "human superheroes in DC Comics", I wouldn't be nearly as opposed to keeping it, but it only took me about two seconds to find an entry for a character (Amanda Waller) who isn't even defined as a superhero (or a hero at all) in her own article. Due to its broad and vague inclusion criteria, this list would be nearly impossible for us to maintain in a reliable way. Vadder (talk) 05:05, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of DC Comics characters - it's a valid search term and redirects are cheap. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:39, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment: I forgot that I started this list in 2009. I gave it a terrible title too. It was supposed to only be for human superheroes without superpowers. So no aliens or metahumans. SL93 (talk) 09:10, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
