Star Sapphire (DC Comics character)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Appears to be another fancrufty article about an obscure superhero of middling importance. Has all of two non-primary sources that aren’t even about Star Sapphire (any of them). Not counting passing mentions and obvious non-WP:RS, here are all the sources I found: Merging or redirecting (probably to Carrol Ferris or some list of Green Lantern cruft) is not implausible.

 * https://screenrant.com/star-sapphire-green-lantern-comic-origin-powers-explained/
 * listicle; is this even a reliable source?
 * https://www.cbr.com/green-lantern-star-sapphire-carol-ferris-trivia-facts/
 * Not even about “Star Sapphire” specifically
 * https://www.cbr.com/green-lantern-star-sapphire-facts-fans-should-know/
 * again, another article about the original/most famous Star Sapphire Carol Ferris (a terrible looking article in and of itself)
 * https://www.cbr.com/green-lantern-star-sapphire-facts-trivia-dc-fans/
 * another mediocre listicle

 * Delete Appears to be fancruft without an obvious target. With a lack of secondary sources or significant coverage, it doesn't seem notable. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:59, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per it also being a WP:SETINDEX or merge with List of DC Comics characters: S in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. To the closer of this discussion if the latter happens, I ask that the Star Sapphires group be sent to a page that lists the different organizations of DC Comics. --Rtkat3 (talk) 17:10, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Merge to List of DC Comics characters: S in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. I am not seeing any notability here (name of several charcters, none of which seem to have a reception section), and I don't see why we should have SETINDEXes for such content. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:43, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * We still will have to find someplace to put the Star Sapphires on this website even if we have to restructure the List of teams and organizations in DC Comics page just like the restructuring that was done to the List of Marvel Comics teams and organizations page. Right? --Rtkat3 (talk) 20:46, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge - I don't really see sources to prove WP:NOTABILITY, but I will support a merge per other editors. Shooterwalker (talk) 01:21, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
