Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ricochet (comics)

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was ambiguous.

I count 6 clear "delete" votes, 2 "redirect"s, 1 "delete or redirect" and only 1 "keep as is". Noting that redirects are cheap and that none of the straight delete votes alleged that the topic was itself false, I'm going to call this one as a simple redirect. (I see nothing to merge.)

Ricochet (comics)
No actual text, badly formed template box, doesn't establish anything about the character. Delete. - SoM 11:48, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article should be kept for a while longer on the off-chance the original creator comes back to complete the details.  Admittedly, I don't know anything about this particular character, so if it's a disposable villian or background character my vote would change. - NormanEinstein 00:37, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC) Delete. The creator of the article appears about to be banned so I'll change my vote. - NormanEinstein 07:36, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I probably would have speedy deleted it, given that it doesn't contain even an attempt at a sentence. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 00:38, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, could be speedied for no content, no context. Not an article. Wyss 00:56, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Slingers, the series that this character is from. Nothing to merge.  -Sean Curtin 03:46, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. His special weapon is not "bouncing dicks" as it said in the article.  Those are bouncing discs.  I got a great laugh out of that error, though. (Yes, I fixed it.)  Did a bit of looking around&mdash;Richochet was part of a spinoff from Spider-Man called Slingers.  It only lasted for twelve issues in 1998-99.  Given that tidbit, I find that we already have a Slingers article that could contain anything we need to say about this character.  Merge. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 04:17, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, article does not establish notability. Megan1967 06:39, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. With the character Richochet being 'revived,' so to speak, for Brian K. Vaughan's current comic the Runaways, it would be a good idea to keep the article. FartInAirConditioner 21:09, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Thing is though... there's nothing there. Unless someone expands it to at least a decent stub, it doesn't deserve to stick around, nor would it help anyone who got to "know him" through Runaways SoM 10:52, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. This is simply not a standalone article.  Edeans 20:17, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete or Redirect to Slingers (comics). Agree with Sean's comment. --Pc13 14:12, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - Slingers, not Slingers (comics). I found that page by chance, and it's far better written than s_(c), so I've redirected the latter to the former. SoM 16:36, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
