Merge with Firestorm in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE and send any redirects to that page to their respectful List of DC Comics characters pages. --Rtkat3 (talk) 23:51, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Completely unsourced list, most entries of which are minor, non-notable characters. Even most of the blue links are just redirects to unsourced entries in other character lists. No objection against actually adding sourced information to the Firestorm (character) article regarding notable, reoccurring adversaries such as Killer Frost, but merging would not be appropriate due the complete lack of sources here.

- Comment - We can still WP:PRESERVE bits of this information on the Firestorm page just like how @Shooterwalker: proposed in the AFD discussion for the List of Hawkman enemies. --Rtkat3 (talk) 01:41, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting. Ordinarily, I'd Merge as an ATD but there is an argument against doing so and I'd like to hear more opinions on what should happen with this article.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:53, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as compromise / WP:ATD. This would respect guidelines that call for the removal of unsourced articles, per Rorshacma. And it would at least WP:PRESERVE the history in case something can be selectively merged, per Rtkat3. Other editors can interpret this !vote as somewhere between deletion and WP:NOPAGE.

Merge blue-linked entries to Firestorm. The list is actually completely sourced, but only to primary, not to independent sources. So without having looked myself I assume this grouping fails WP:LISTN. But as a section within the parent topic, where notability guidelines do not apply, this can be helpful as an embedded list with the purpose of navigation to where these characters related to Firestorm are treated on Wikipedia. Agreeing with Rtkat3. Daranios (talk) 15:27, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
