Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Comics and animation

Shortcuts

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Comics and animation. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Comics and animation|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Comics and animation. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

List of fictional primates in film

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A vast majority of list is WP:LISTCRUFT and fails WP:LISTCRIT. I would also support a merge back into List of fictional primates if the outcome isn't deletion. Sir MemeGod  15:05, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: as a standard WP:SPLITLIST (and yes, before I hear it should, it does ALSO meet the criterion for lists, see https://www.slantmagazine.com/film/15-famous-movie-monkeys/ or https://www.cbr.com/movie-tv-greatest-apes-ranked/ or https://collider.com/best-movie-monkeys-ranked/ etc,) -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 19:52, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That’s the issue though. This list could easily be merged back into the main article with no length or accessibility issues arising, which is what I assume SPLITLIST concerns. Sir MemeGod  21:17, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It could, maybe, everything is feasible. But should it? SPLITLIST says "Regardless, a list or table should be kept as short as is feasible for its purpose and scope. Too much statistical data is against policy." Note that there are FIVE detailed lists on the page: this one and List of fictional primates in comics, List of fictional primates in television, List of fictional primates in animation List of fictional primates in literature. If you merge back one, you merge back all the other and then you have an awful navigation experience. I would go even further, and suggest to undo the redirect for List_of_fictional_primates_in_video_games but that might be discussed later maybe. I probably won't make any further comments here. Decide what you think best. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 21:41, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of fictional primates per WP:ATD, but this precise of a list fails WP:LISTN. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:26, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of fictional canines in comics

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The vast majority of the already-short list is WP:LISTCRUFT, could be merged into List of fictional canines, where an empty section already exists. Sir MemeGod  14:35, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of fictional canines in animation

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Seems to be WP:LISTCRUFT. Would also support a merge back to List of fictional canines. Sir MemeGod  14:32, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect/merge with List of fictional dogs in animated television. Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner and Tails (Sonic the Hedgehog) are the only two articles that exist for the things listed here. Not enough to have a valid list article. There is a list called List of fictional dogs in animated television that has Snoopy, Huckleberry Hound, Jake the Dog, Goofy, Max Goof, Muttley, Pluto (Disney) that have their own articles. Astro and Mr. Peanutbutter have enough content in their show's character articles to be included on a list like this. Clifford (character) article no longer exist, just redirects to a token mention of the character in the main article for that series. Still a notable enough dog to be on a list, so not everything listed should be required to have its own article. Dream Focus 16:02, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But then what will be the title of the merged list? keep the title List of fictional canines in animation? You suggest to merge the dogs into this, correct? I am not opposed to your proposal nor to a merge back if other users do no think that this list and other that are currently splits from the general list are suitable WP:SPLITLISTs. Thanks. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 22:48, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I can find several blogs discussing the series, but the only site approaching RS is possibly this one: [1], which is a passing mention. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 22:04, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I suppose. I can't find a mention of it in my literature besides Ted Rall's book. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 15:30, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – No mention in my literature I'm afraid, and a google is giving me zilch. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 15:34, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Daxam

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

None of these references meet WP:SIGCOV and the article is mostly unreliable sources, for what material even has sources at all. Jontesta (talk) 16:52, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with the planet section of List of DC Universe locations in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE if no reliable sources can be found. Also, merge anyone who redirects to this page to the different List of DC Comics characters page and redirect Daxamite to List of alien races in DC Comics. --Rtkat3 (talk) 23:54, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of DC Universe locations#Planetary systems where it is already included. Coverage in non-primary sources is trivial, and generally is just mentioned as the origin for specific characters (i.e. "Mon-El is from Daxam"). There is no real significant coverage discussing the planet itself. Rorshacma (talk) 00:35, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of DC Universe locations#Planetary systems, per above. Agree that the sources in the article do not show notability and that this is the best redirect target. Rhino131 (talk) 12:49, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with the extradimensional realms section of List of DC Universe locations in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE if no reliable sources can be found. Also if this happens, I ask that the closer of this discussion merges the Weaponers of Qward to List of teams and organizations in DC Comics and redirects the Qwardians information to List of alien races in DC Comics. --Rtkat3 (talk) 23:54, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of DC Universe locations#Extradimensional realms, where it is already included. Searches are only turning up trivial mentions in non-primary sources. Rorshacma (talk) 00:30, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Methos Chronicles

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There doesn't appear to be significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources. Note: there's a story by Don Anderson also titled "The Methos Chronicles", but it seems to be unrelated to this project, besides sharing the same character and name. And then there's also a "Highlander zine, "The Methos Chronicles," brought to you by Carol Ann Liddiard and Sheila Marie Lane", again, seemingly unrelated. toweli (talk) 14:26, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cannon (comics)

Barely one legit entry, if that. No mention of Cannon in WildStorm article. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:34, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Cannon (disambiguation)#Other arts and entertainment. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 15:54, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since there's only one comics entry there (the semi-valid entry here), why not redirect to that article directly? Clarityfiend (talk) 22:54, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
