Martial artists in DC Comics
This is a second nomination. Since first nomination, over 1 year ago (clean-up tags have existed for over 2 years), no work has been done to improve on the issues of the article. The article is still comprised solely of original research and synthesis. The sorting and classification of each school violates policy. There are no 3rd party references aside from 1 fan-site. The article by conception is both insignificant and irresolvable. The martial arts in the superhero genre of comics is neither novel or notable, as most superheroes by nature would be defined as martial artists. This does not seem to be a merge issue as there is no single article to merge such material to, and the general contents can be found through out the multiple minor character articles linked throughout this page. -Sharp962 (talk) 22:32, 13 August 2009 (UTC).

 * Strong Deleteper nom. any content of value belongs in the articles for individual characters. um, you know, regarding some of the talk page content, reminds me, that none of this is actually real. knowing that bruce lee studied under teacher x, but not being able to find a written reference for it, doesnt mean it didnt happen. with comics, all we have is the written record. if the back story is not written down, it didnt happen. period. gaps and paradoxes, problems with logic and timelines dont matter, as its not real, and never has to make sense, even if the authors are sincerely trying to be consistent. nature is 100% consistent, art is not. just a reminder to fans from a former fan.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 01:47, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
