Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Underground (comics)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Given that the article has no secondary sources at all, arguments to merge are weak. That said, if someone feels that there is plot summary presented here so crucial that a merger is absolutely necessary, I would be willing to refund this to their userspace.

Does not meet WP:GNG. Team appears eight times, according to Marvel Wikia. Namenamenamenamename (talk) 19:46, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep or merge into List of Marvel Comics teams and organizations. No need to delete when merge is a valid option. BOZ (talk) 00:07, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Alternatively, I also agree with the merge suggestion to Weapon X as per below. BOZ (talk) 22:28, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I think it's better than teams that only appear in one series for a few issues are kept on that series page, rather than clutter a list which mostly seems to (or at least should) consist of teams that appear in multiple series or have very long runs in one series.

 * Merge to the teams list. Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 18:14, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - Although the name is difficult to Google, I've struggled to find any sources about them, let alone reliable, secondary ones. Failure of WP:GNG --Killer Moff (talk) 13:19, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - Agree with Killer Moff. Hard to find reliable sources. This article clearly fails WP:GNG --Jay (talk) 03:10, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Very brief merge to Weapon_X, since this is organization entirely contained within that run of the comic, which is verifiable. Name drop and redirect, no need for a source per MOS:PLOTSOURCE. Patar knight - chat/contributions 04:30, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Selective merge to Weapon X, per Patar knight. -- RoySmith (talk) 07:06, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * List of Weapon X members, or any better target is fine too. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:40, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete -- agree with . Without *any* reliable secondary sources, this article has to go.  This title would more appropriately go with this book by Mark James Estren which might be notable. --David Tornheim (talk) 21:02, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * That book is called A History of Underground Comics, and doesn't have an article yet, so any confusion is at best unlikely and at worst moot at this point. Patar knight - chat/contributions 14:07, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Selective merge - I wonder whether List of Weapon X members wouldn't be a better merge destination? TimTempleton (talk) (cont)  23:42, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * The problem with this is that it would be incorrect. The Underground was formed to oppose Weapon X. But since they only appear in a few issues of the Weapon X comic series, a selective merge would be appropriate at my title. Patar knight - chat/contributions 14:07, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Μerge to the more specific List of Weapon X members. -The Gnome (talk) 08:30, 25 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete- unsourced plot summary article about a minor organisation not even notable in its own fictional universe, let alone the real one. Since all the content is sourceless cruft, there's nothing in it that could be merged anywhere. Reyk YO! 09:00, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Per MOS:PLOTSOURCE, basic plot points don't need secondary sourcing, and the mere existence of this organization as a major faction in a story arc for a comic series would be a basic plot point on a page (or in this case, a section) on that series.
