The Flesh (Doctor Who)

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 English-language coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. (Btw, this has been incorrectly talk tagged as previously prodded; it hasn't been... but since DWho is a popular franchise, might as well discuss this here anyway) Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 14:18, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete or Redirect to The Rebel Flesh - From what I can gather, this was simply the antagonist of a two-episode story in Dr. Who, and the content of this article is merely a truncated summary of the plots of those two episodes. We already have articles  on both of those episodes, which describes the plot in-depth, making this an unnecessary WP:SPINOUT.  All sources on this antagonist are all in the context of its role in those episodes, and indicates no specific notability to it separate from those episodes.  While I'm fine with this just being deleted, it could also be used as a Redirect to the article on the first episode it appeared in, if anyone thinks that might be useful.

 * Merge anything usable to the episode article. Artw (talk) 23:06, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * On reflection, that can probably just be a Delete, since there's not much and there's little use for a redirect here. Artw (talk) 23:08, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
