Delete - The concept is vague and the specific examples can be clearly summarized in any article that needs to refer to them. Most of the sources are primary, and the few references from comic news sites are about in-universe material, not real-world context. Argento Surfer (talk) 14:03, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Superhuman registration acts as a thematic element used for socio-political commentary in the medium is a pretty well-documented academic topic and would meet WP:GNG. [1][2][3][4][5][6]---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 04:01, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Those are all great sources about Civil War, and I think they'd be excellent sources for that article. Argento Surfer (talk) 14:30, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - While it's understandable that Marvel's Civil War arc would be at the centre of discussion, a couple of the above sources discuss the universe of Watchmen, The Incredibles, and TDKR [7] and the mutant registration acts and a 1980s FF run. [8] Searching for other similar registration acts like the Sokovia Accords, [9][10] the Mutant Registration Acts, [11][12][13][14][15] or the Keene Act, [16][17][18][19] also leads to a wealth of academic treatment, which sometimes extend for pages. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 20:00, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Patar knight has demonstrated that there are reliable sources about this topic, and that there is notability. Dimadick (talk) 16:43, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep a common-enough theme in superhero comics, and sufficient sourcing. power~enwiki (π, ν) 05:37, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
