Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mano (character)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Fatal Five. There's no argument being made for notability. A redirect outcome does not prevent future merging should that discussion feel it appropriate. However, some attempt at a merge or a redirect before coming to AfD is helpful. Barkeep49 (talk) 02:30, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Mano (character)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails to establish notability. It lacks reliable sources that contain significant coverage on the character. Factual encyclopedias lacking commentary are not significant coverage. TTN (talk) 11:12, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge or redirect with Fatal Five. Again, for comic book characters who are part of a team or organization, merger discussions seem more appropriate rather than outright deletion. The other members of the team could probably be merged as well. Rhino131 (talk) 15:28, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge. Agree with . Merge discussion are a more appropriate avenue for articles like this than AFD. — Hunter Kahn 19:28, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Procedural close. I've started a merge discussion at Talk:Fatal Five about whether to merge each of the five individual character articles (Mano (character), Emerald Empress, Persuader (comics), Tharok, and Validus) to the Fatal Five page. I've also placed a message on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Comics seeking input into that discussion. I'd suggest this is the more appropriate venue for this discussion at this point, so the AFD should be closed for now to allow for that merge discussion to take place. If the discussion does not result in a merge, the nominator always be free to nominate this article for AFD at a later point. — Hunter Kahn 19:46, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Fatal Five. This character is already covered sufficiently there, and there is no need to shut down this AfD so a slumbering merge discussion can do the exact same thing except slower and less efficiently. Devonian Wombat (talk) 00:39, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Procedural close - Per .  Dark Knight  2149  10:05, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: It looks bad but Wp:Imperfect. I think it has potential for notability like the rest of Fatal Five. Jhenderson  7 7 7  00:10, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
