Minor Marvel Comics universe probably better covered in Multiverse (Marvel Comics) Xevus11 (talk) 02:30, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy restore previous redirect to Realm of Kings. This AFD nomination is unnecessary bureaucratic overkill. The redirect to Realm of Kings was stable for a long time until another user changed the redirect today to a badly-written single line, and instead of going to AFD over such a small fragment, the redirect could simply have been restored with a note to the user who wrote that line that if that editor wants to turn the redirect into a real article, he or she can do so but needs to do better than that single line. I think a redirect to Realm of Kings is better for now than a redirect to Multiverse (Marvel Comics) because, at present, there is actually discussion of the Cancerverse in the former article but not the latter. —Lowellian (reply) 02:59, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy restore to redirect I agree with Lowellian in regards to most of their argument. I don't want to accidentally argue along the lines of WP:ADHOM, but the editor in question who made the edit has a history of making such edits or vandalism (especially in this topic). It's worth noting that the page was specifically created as a redirect for when/if someone wanted to make it into an article, according to the first edit comment. There's a little bit written about the article topic in some news articles, mostly in relation to the upcoming Marvel movie, but I can't tell if the sources are reliable. The edit by this user here might also be vandalism, since looking at The Thanos Imperative (which might be another good candidate for the redirect) the description of Cancerverse is different.

Restore redirect to Realm of Kings and categorize it as an {{R comics from related word}}. The essay Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) asks us to consider the general notability guideline, but Cancerverse is not notable for a stand-alone article. As a search term the title is valid, and a redirect is thus an appropriate policy-based alternative to deletion.
A redirect may always be boldly made per WP:ATD-R and WP:BLAR, and in a case like this restored. Unless the redirect is challenged and consensus is not subsequently reached on the talk page, an AFD discussion is not necessarily needed. The script User:DannyS712/Redirectify.js can come in handy in some of these situations (although not this one). Sam Sailor 09:51, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
