The result of the discussion was  Keep. No prejudice against discussing a merge with the other essay, but there's no established guideline or precedent requiring non-redundancy in essays, and no consensus in this discussion to require it in this instance. --RL0919 (talk) 01:43, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Existence does not prove notability

 * Comment-- the content is actually slightly different- perhaps a merge? -- E♴  (talk)  15:05, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Essay redundancy is not a reason for deletion,  However, encourage merging per editorial discussion.  Rationalisation of redundant and overlapping essays is a good idea.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:12, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - This is factually erroneous: In order to be notable, you need to be mentioned in more than one independent reliable source, such as two different unsolicited news articles... In reality, there are all sorts of ways to achieve notability that don't involve being mentioned in two independent so-called "reliable sources," nor does mere mention in two or more of the same confer notability. See NOT NEWS. It's hard enough for newcomers to figure out the ropes without bogus information like that foisted upon its readers by this sanctimonious essay.

 * Keep. Looks useful. Superheroes Fighting (talk) 20:30, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I have amended the essay per 's concerns. I note that this page, created on 8 September 2007, predates Existence ≠ Notability which was created on 16 January 2009. Cunard (talk) 22:56, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
