Necropolis (Judge Dredd story)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unreferenced article about a comic book plotline. 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. What makes this story notable? See also Articles for deletion/Mechanismo At best, this can be redirected to Judge_Dredd per the outcome of that other AfDs and several more since.

 * Keep since there are some good reviews from Sci-Fi-Online (partly consisting of former writers/editors at Dreamwatch): Part 1, Part 2 as well as from SF2 Concatenation. io9/Gizmodo also highlighted it as a key story for Judge Dredd.  The age of the story suggests there may be some print material, but I don't think trying to find them is necessary given these. -2pou (talk) 22:21, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. One of the longest Dredd stories, and pivotal in how it tied together other long-running storylines and had a lasting effect on the continuity. io9 called it one of the Top 11 Essential Judge Dredd Stories. The Telegraph and The Times both specifically mention Necropolis as a classic story in their obituaries of Carlos Ezquerra. the wub "?!"  13:49, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
