Murmur (DC Comics)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

PRODed with "e 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.", prod removed with no meaningful rationale, article not improved. I will just add that the cited The DC Comics Encyclopedia is not a serious publication, it's a licenced (so not independent) picture book that contains no analysis, just plot summary and list of appearances and is likely less informative (pictures aside) than our articles (or fan wikias), just look at google images of this "encyclopedia". At best this can be SOFTDELETEd by being redirected to the List of DC Comics characters: M. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 10:00, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep Readers wanting information about this character are unlikely to use an unhelpful title like "List of DC Comics characters: M". The natural title for the topic is the character's name, Murmur, and so we should stick with that.  If we did want to consolidate the information then it would be more natural to group the Flash villains together, as here. Andrew🐉(talk) 12:55, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , I have no objection to redirecting this to List of Flash enemies if there is consensus this is a better target. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:27, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of DC Comics characters: M. Zero real world notability. Fails WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:57, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Flash enemies. There is already a section for the character there with a bio and room other relevant information, which is a better option than just the character list. Rhino131 (talk) 15:00, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of DC Comics characters : fails WP:GNG, better redirect to the List of DC Characters CommanderWaterford (talk) 20:59, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Flash enemies over the generic DC list, as Murmur is specific to Flash. There is some background on the character's creation in The Flash Companion (not available in preview), but I don't believe that's enough to justify a standalone article. I suspect there's some coverage of the television adaptation from reviews like this one. If someone wants to spend the effort improving the article, I could support keeping it, but as it currently stands readers would be better served by merging it with the list.

 * Keep per or merge with List of minor DC Comics characters in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. --Rtkat3 (talk) 20:10, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Flash enemies. A borderline case, there might be enough to pass GNG, but it's probably better served with the essential info in the list than as a stand alone. I'm usually nervous about generically named characters like this, but this does seem to be very much the one most likely to be searched for. --Killer Moff- ill advisedly sticking his nose in since 2011 (talk) 10:29, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Missvain (talk) 18:02, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Flash enemies - The character is already included in that list, and there is no reliably sourced information in the article, so no need to merge. Searching for sources turns up a few hits in the usual "Top Ten" style lists on CBR and such, and a bit about the casting in Arrow, but that's about it. Rorshacma (talk) 16:39, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
