This is virtually the same article as Thanos and I see virtually no difference between the two. I attempted to redirect it as it's the same subject but was inexplicably reverted, so AFDing to delete and redirect. Praxidicae (talk) 20:19, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Draft and redirect it to Thanos it until it’s done correctly. Right now it’s just redundant fancruft and there is no rush of it being an article since there is already an article on Thanos. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 20:35, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: When and if this is ready for mainspace. This could be the place to redirect it to until it’s improved on. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 20:40, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jhenderson777 Why not to Thanos? I feel like I'm missing something here. There's an entire section covered about it there. Praxidicae (talk) 20:44, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That’s where I said to merge it to for right now. Just commenting that there may be a second option in the future. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 20:47, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Draft per Jhenderson777 - I don't think anyone would argue that this is not a notable topic, but as it stands, there is no reason for this to be WP:SPLIT from the main Thanos article. As stated by the nom, there is currently nothing here that is not already covered there. If the article were to be fleshed out to contain more than a list of appearances and plot summaries, it would be a valid Split article, but until that is done, it should be kept in Draft.

Draftify There was no reason to move this work in progress to mainspace when it's not done.★Trekker (talk) 22:16, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify per the above. There is substantially more that can be said specifically about the MCU character, but despite his in-universe importance, this character also has very few appearances and very little development compared to other MCU characters who have articles that have survived objections like those raised in this process.

Draft It's still a work in progress and should not be in the mainspace; move it there when it's finished. Trailblazer101 (talk) 14:19, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this particular article. I actually agree with everyone on Draftspacing the article, but the draft is actually still there, and there is no attributable history carried over to this "new" article. This looks like a copy/paste job from the incomplete Draft, so it wasn't even properly moved. -2pou (talk) 15:50, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete there is not enough sources to justify a seperate article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:46, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Do you mean that there aren't enough sources in the article, or that there aren't enough sources in the world? I'm pretty sure there are quite a few potential sources out there that have not made it into the article. BD2412 T 21:20, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- There are tons upon tons of articles about the MCU Thanos. Not sure how long you were looking but a Google search gives quite a few hits on major websites.★Trekker (talk) 20:32, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - It is redundant with Thanos. Perhaps some of the data (not too much) in this article can be copied to Thanos but I am not going to vote for "merge". Dont see the value of merging. - Jay (talk) 05:58, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Draft Send to draft. WP:PRESERVE. Lightburst (talk) 21:35, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Remember, everyone, there is still a Draft already in existence at Draft:Thanos (Marvel Cinematic Universe) which is where this material came from.

Sorry, just trying to emphasize the point. -2pou (talk) 21:55, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ah I see they didn’t even page move it (which I was probably thinking they were) so that’s taken care of. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 22:55, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
