This fictional character is not notable independent of Marvel Comics and insignificant within the fiction itself. There are three incoming links from article space, and none of them are inline. An IP removed my PROD and added a merge template pointing to List of Marvel Comics characters: R, but that list is not intended to be exhaustive. Argento Surfer (talk) 14:22, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep or merge to either List of Marvel Comics characters: R or maybe List of Marvel Comics Golden Age characters. One RS is more than what most of these minor characters have, so a brief note on this guy somewhere seems like it would be a good idea. BOZ (talk) 16:02, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge to List of Marvel Comics characters: R. I don't see even one secondary reliable source. Everything about this character comes directly from Marvel Comics. As such, there's no way it meets the requirements for a standalone article. A two-sentence mention in the list of characters is about the limit, in my judgement. There's some trivia about this character on the web in fanwikis, and that's where it belongs, not in an encyclopedia. Amsgearing (talk) 18:36, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
 * "The Marvel Comics Guide to New York City" was apparently published by Pocket Books. BOZ (talk) 00:27, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge per BOZ withdrawing !vote Chetsford (talk) 02:42, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Question - aside from the fact that one non-primary source is used to cite a plot element, what is the value of adding this character to a list? As far as I can tell, he's appeared in exactly two comic books published by Marvel, a company that routinely published 60+ books per month for most of its 75 years of existence. There are zero inline links to the page. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:33, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Good point, I'm withdrawing my !vote. Chetsford (talk) 18:47, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
