Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Archer (Marvel 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 redirect to List of Marvel Comics characters: A. There is a clear consensus against keeping this article. Opinions on what to do with it however, were split. As noted in the discussion the article is unsourced, so that effectively eliminates merging. Per WP:ATD I am left with redirection. Ad Orientem (talk) 00:36, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Generic term that could refer to any number of heroes, character as listed fails WP:GNG. --— Preceding unsigned comment added by Killer Moff (talk • contribs) 13:50, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Completely unsourced article on a extremely minor comic book character. This does not pass the GNG, and the name is too generic to even warrant a redirect. 169.232.162.112 (talk) 17:11, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Merge the relevant info about the character to List of Marvel Comics characters: A and redirect to it. GN-z11 ^☎ ^★ 19:56, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the character list isn't meant to be exhaustive, it's for significant characters who aren't notable outside of the fiction. This character is insignificant all around. Argento Surfer (talk) 21:09, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Per nom. Merge what? Completely unsourced material (WP:OR) with an "External link"? Otr500 (talk) --originally posted 10 February 2019 and forgot to sign. --- Otr500 (talk) 05:08, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
