Lock-Up (comics)

Not a planet, just a very minor character, plot summary, list of appearances, that's it. The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. The usual dePROD with no helpful rationale, so here we go.

 * Redirect to List of Batman family enemies. The characters only significance is that he began in animation and then made the transition to regular comics, similarly to Harley Quinn though clearly not as notable. There may be some relevant information out there about that transition, but that could still simply be added to the characters entry on the Batman villain list.

 * Delete or redirect - Fails to establish notability at this time. TTN (talk) 23:19, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: I see two pages of coverage in Welcome to Arkham Asylum: Essays on Psychiatry and the Gotham City Institution (McFarland & Co, 2019), as well as The Essential Batman Encyclopedia (Del Rey, 2008) and The DC Comics Encyclopedia (DK Publishing 2016). — Toughpigs (talk) 00:42, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The actual commentary on the character in the first doesn't really actually say much. It's just 80% plot recap. The "The Essential Batman Encyclopedia" is a literal plot recap, so it does not provide significant coverage. The third doesn't seem to have previews, but it's obviously the same vein of literal encyclopedia like the other. TTN (talk) 00:58, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Concur. Toughpigs, would you care to provide any quotations from those sources that go beyond a plot recap? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:53, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The coverage in Welcome to Arkham Asylum discusses the character as an example of the messages that the show presents about psychiatric care: "This scene, in particular, conveys another confounding message regarding psychiatric institutions: psychiatric treatment, although therapeutic, can result in fears of both the care provider and the fellow patient." — Toughpigs (talk) 18:09, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The single quoted sentence, which I assume is the best you've found, does not mention the character, and discusses a scene not the character, so it seems totally irrevant. WP:NOTINHERITED. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:31, 31 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete or redirect due to insufficient coverage to meet the WP:GNG or Notability (fiction). Shooterwalker (talk) 03:43, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
