The result was redirect to List of Marvel Comics teams and organizations. No indication of any out-of-universe reliable sourcing that backs up any content to be merged, so closing as straight redirect. History remains though. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 23:13, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep or merge with the "V" section of List of Marvel Comics teams and organizations in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE and per . --Rtkat3 (talk) 17:52, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. The Slings & Arrows Comic Guide does have an entry for the epynomous Citizen V and the V-Battalion comics miniseries, though I cannot see in how much detail it talks about the V-Battalion. I would be happy to change my vote to keep in case more sources were found. Daranios (talk) 10:11, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, per WP:DON'T PRESERVE. "material for which no reliable source that supports it has ever been published should be completely removed". Should an article for the series Citizen V and the V-Battalion be created, then a redirect there might be suitable. --Killer Moff- ill advisedly sticking his nose in since 2011 (talk) 08:23, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
 * But it is not the case here that no reliable sources supporting this topic have been published: As the V-Battalion is a fictional entity, the comics themselves are most reliable with regard to it. As primary sources they cannot generate notability, and cannot support a separate article by themselves. But their existence means WP:DON'T PRESERVE is not applicable here. (And yes, "Primary sources ... can be both reliable and useful in certain situations".) Daranios (talk) 18:47, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
