Specialist (comics)

 * - (|View AfD) (View log)

The Specialist was a supporting character in a couple of issues of Spiderman 2099 who was killed in his last appearance: there's not much more to say about him than that he exists and so isn't really notable enough for a whole article of his own. JonStrines (talk) 09:32, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 11:26, 10 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep or failing that, merge and redirect to Tyler Stone (comics) or Spider-Man 2099. BOZ (talk) 12:51, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I used to read these comics back in the day, and this is a fairly minor character. I very much doubt there are any reliable, real world sources that might make this a notable subject in its own right. A pity there doesn't seem to be a List of minor characters in the Marvel 2099 universe, otherwise I might suggest merging. PC78 (talk) 11:36, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * There's Marvel 2099, even if that's not perfect. ;) BOZ (talk) 13:06, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge to Tyler Stone (comics). (Emperor (talk) 00:01, 12 October 2008 (UTC))
 * Just a query: what's the connection with Tyler Stone to warrent a merge there? I would have thought Spidey 2099 would be the better fit, as its the title of the comic the character appeared in. JonStrines (talk) 09:26, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Justification from: "The Specialist worked for Tyler Stone as an assassin and field operative for the Stark/Fujikawa Corporation in the year 2099. At the behest of Tyler Stone, the Specialist captured Kasey Nash in order to lure the Spider-Man of that era into battle" I technically don't mind a merge to spider-Man 2099 but thought the slightly better option might be to his boss. My transferable vote is to merge it to Spider-Man 2099. (Emperor (talk) 13:37, 13 October 2008 (UTC))
 * We could do that now and just close the AFD as a merge/withdraw. BOZ (talk) 13:41, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd support a merge/withdraw: I think the character warrants a mention, just not a whole article. JonStrines (talk) 14:52, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * If you do both, then it will all be over. :) BOZ (talk) 15:18, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, I've merged and redirected. No idea what I have to do to close the AfD though - the wiki artuicle says I don't have to do anything, so hopefully that's true. JonStrines (talk) 08:37, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Fair enough - I think just leave it like it is? It's a good compromise, especially when it's not a hotly contested affair. BOZ (talk) 12:29, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
