Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life

Disputed WP:BLAR. In my opinion, this is a classic WP:NOPAGE situation. The first volume of Scott Pilgrim is not independently notable of the larger series, and it is already covered sufficiently within the main article on the topic. Therefore I believe it should be redirected back to the main Scott Pilgrim article. silviaASH (inquire within) 07:04, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

Ok to delete. Have searched Wikipedia Library and ProQuest and Google in combination with multiple search terms on multiple occasions, but it seems "Storybook World" was not well recognized as a series title. If there were an article for Kids Klassics, a possible WP:ATD would be to redirect there, as it seems the VHS title was "Kids Klassics Home Video presents Storybook World". But instead we find that Kids Klassics redirects to GoodTimes Entertainment. There just don't seem to be enough mentions of "Storybook World" though to warrant a redirect in the first place.

Another non-notable comic character (hundreds done, hundreds more to go, I fear). Plot summary, no analysis/reception, nothing SIGCOV-meeting in my BEFORE. We can ATD-R to List of DC Comics characters: H, I guess. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:12, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Redirect to New Gods#New Gods of New Genesis where the various named New Gods, including Highfather, are already listed and described. Searches using both his title and real name of ""Izaya" are not really showing much in the way of significant coverage on the character. The coverage in reliable sources is pretty much limited to plot summaries and mentions in discussions of the concept of the New Gods as a whole. Rorshacma (talk) 14:34, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
Redirect to New Gods#New Gods of New Genesis agree that the New Gods article is a better redirect target than a huge DC character list. Those should be avoided whenever possible. Rhino131 (talk) 13:20, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

Redirect to Forever People, the group that the character is part of, and whose article he is already fully covered in.

Yet another niche comic book character who doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG, with little but a plot summary. My BEFORE yielded nothing of substance (some plot summaries of some more recent recurrence...), per ATD-R we can point that to List of DC Comics characters: V. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 15:48, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

Very niche comic character; this is just a plot summary - he is so niche there is even no usual list of appearances that noticeable. Sole source that seems to be about him [1] is just a plot summary, and my BEFORE fails to find anything better (a mention in passing here and there, nothing that strieks me as WP:SIGCOV). At best, redirect to the relevant list of DC heroes. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:48, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Delete or Draftify if the author believes there are paper sources (comics not included). There is no evidence of sigcov here I can see. I've had a look online and even the fan-generated sites we can't use tend to have very little content on the character. I'm worried about the Breton and Welsh translation at the beginning of the article too. I would be very surprised if the relevant comics had been translated into Welsh, and I would be absolutely astounded if it had been translated into Breton.--Boynamedsue (talk) 07:13, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
- Comment "tend to have very little content on the character" I am not that surprised about that lack of interest in the character. Currently living readers are rather unlikely to have read most of his stories. From the publication history available in a DC wiki, the character was regularly featured in solo stories from 1955 until 1959. The rest of his appearances are either reprints or crossover events involving time travel or crowds of characters. 44 appearances in total are listed about the original version of the character, and 12 appearances for a reboot version introduced in 2017. That is a strangely low number for a former protagonist. By comparison, Bette Kane is a moderately popular supporting character with 20 appearances in her pre-Crisis version, 59 in her post-Crisis version, and 36 appearances in the reboot version from the 2010s. She seems to have more endurance as a character than the Silent Knight ever had. Dimadick (talk) 07:24, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
Merge and redirect to List of DC Comics characters: S as an alternative to deletion. -- Fiction Fanatic III (talk) 12:06, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
Delete - Extremely obscure comic character that has basically no coverage in reliable sources outside of brief, one-sentence mentions that do little more than confirm that he was one of the characters that appeared in the early days of The Brave and the Bold. The various comic character lists should not just be a dumping ground for every non-notable, unsourced character that ever existed, so I would not support merging there. Pretty much the only WP:ATD I'd be willing to go with is simply Redirecting to The Brave and the Bold, where his appearances in the early issues is already described. Rorshacma (talk) 15:06, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
Merge to List of DC Comics characters: S and/or The Brave and the Bold as an alternative to deletion. Comics Through Time, p. 45, has plot summary, publication information, and brief commentary fitting for both targets. Comics portraying the Middle Ages has a brief comment on the character's lack of success. Can anyone access the full PhD thesis An imaginary mongoose: Comics, canon, and the superhero romance to check what's there? A pure redirect to the list is not helpful, as the list section at the target is currently empty except for the link here. Daranios (talk) 15:31, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
Delete Fails notability, and the List of DC Comics characters is an egregiously indiscriminate list so I never support pointing articles there. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:26, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Rosearik Rikki Simons (2nd nomination)

(Find sources: Google (books⧼Dot-separator⧽news⧼Dot-separator⧽scholar⧼Dot-separator⧽free images⧼Dot-separator⧽WP refs)⧼Dot-separator⧽FENS⧼Dot-separator⧽JSTOR⧼Dot-separator⧽TWL)

I swear, this is not a campaign against Invader Zim voice actors...

The sources in the article are abhorrent: an interview (therefore a primary source), a few YouTube videos (which themselves are just narrated listicles and a recording of a convention panel), two podcast interviews (therefore primary sources), a listicle from TheGamer, Simons' own books, and Behind the Voice Actors. Of these, only BTVA is a reliable source, but as WP:BTVA states, Editors agree that its coverage is routine and does not contribute to notability. Not a single one of these is SIGCOV, and several do not even seem to be reliable sources in the first place.

Newspapers.com for "Rosearik Rikki Simons":
- "Comic Relief": Name-drops Simmons as colorist on I Feel Sick. (A reprint of this article was also the only result for his name on JSTOR.)
- "Week in Review": Name-drops Simmons as guest of honor at a local con in Missoula.

Newspapers.com for "Rikki Simons":
- "Kawaii Kon Talk": Name-drops Simmons as a guest at a con.
- "Kawaii Kon 2008": Same as last year.
- Beyond that, any 2010s searches for "Rikki Simons" were either false positives for unrelated people, or passing name-drops of him attending cons.

So far, none of this is SIGCOV.

GBooks was similarly useless, returning only comics Simons worked on and a couple of animation databases. @Sammi Brie: fared no better, finding only a one-sentence mention of his comic work. Also like Andy Berman, I found a couple routine name-drops of him reprising the GIR role for Enter the Florpus, but literally all they confirm is that he is returning. I was wholly unable to confirm any biographical information, such as date of birth, spouse, or any work prior to I Feel Sick.

Much like Berman, I feel Simons has just enough credits for a redirect to be undue weight, but not enough to pass the WP:GNG filter. This is exactly the same SIGCOV void Berman fell into, so I think it's time to sing the doom song for his article. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 15:34, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

Delete. As you pointed out, there just… aren't any reliable sources on Simons. Therefore, Simons is not a notable subject. Debonaira (talk) 23:58, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

(Find sources: Google (books⧼Dot-separator⧽news⧼Dot-separator⧽scholar⧼Dot-separator⧽free images⧼Dot-separator⧽WP refs)⧼Dot-separator⧽FENS⧼Dot-separator⧽JSTOR⧼Dot-separator⧽TWL)

The usual plot summary and list of appearances, with zero academic analysis or even reception. My BEFORE failed to find anything useful (the best I got is this Screenrant article, and it's mostly rehash of plot summary: [2]). WP:ATD-R points to a List of DC Comics characters. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:08, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

Redirect to Hawkman, where this identity is described in depth. The alias of Hawkman is likely notable, but I doubt Hall is individually notable of the wider identity. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 03:43, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

Keep Portrayed by Aldis Hodge in Black Adam (2022), generating independent film coverage and analysis. 85-year publication history (1940). Screen Rant and other outlets covered the character's film adaptation in depth. Article needs reception/analysis added per WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM, not deletion. Sparks19923 (talk) 09:39, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
@Sparks19923 Valnet sources cannot be used to show notability per Wikipedia:VALNET. Just because a character appeared in a film does not mean they are instantly notable, and a smattering of situational sources or ROUTINE coverage would not dispel that notion. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:23, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

Fair point on WP:VALNET; I withdraw the Screen Rant cite and I'm not relying on Valnet for notability.

The question is whether the character meets WP:GNG / WP:NFC via significant, independent reliable coverage beyond routine cast/plot mentions. There is at least some such coverage: The Hollywood Reporter ran a substantial feature discussing the character's publication history and significance, not just the film appearance (Graeme McMillan, "The Many Lives of 'Black Adam' Hero Hawkman").

I've also located an EBSCO Research Starters background/reference entry (Hawkman (character)), which may be useful for basic context but I agree it should not be treated as strong evidence of independent notability on its own.

I'll add these (and continue looking for additional non-Valnet independent coverage) and expand Reception/Analysis accordingly. If, after that pass, the sourcing is still mostly routine/trivial, I'd support a redirect/merge to Hawkman per the suggestion above. Sparks19923 (talk) 01:33, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

@Sparks19923 Both of these are about the Hawkman identity, largely, and discuss Hall as part of that identity. Most of this is just discussing the evolution of the role overtime, rather than putting significant discussion of Hall separately from Hawkman (Wikipedia:SIGCOV). This seems very much a Wikipedia:NOPAGE situation. Why split Hall out when he's only notable as being one of the identities of Hawkman, and is only discussed within the context of Hawkman's wider history?

Hawkman is definitely notable, but is Hall independently notable of Hawkman? My wager is probably not. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 04:23, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

Keep per the claims that were made by @Sparks19923: or merge with Hawkman in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. Is the person who nominated this page going to go after Katar Hol for AFD as well? --Rtkat3 (talk) 02:49, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

Redirect/Merge with Hawkman page. Since I had last edited the Hawkman page, I felt pretty confident you could merge both versions of the character into the page and treat it as a immortal warrior reincarnating multiple times. Unlike the Kendra version, which her story includes distancing and being more independent form her past lives, Hawkman in general has consistencies and addressing descrepancies is not out of the question.

Merge and redirect - in fact the content of this appears to be partially merged already. It doesn't make sense to write a separate article for one of two forms of a character based on a few marginal sources. NotBartEhrman (talk) 13:16, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
Redirect to Hawkman - Already sufficiently covered at the article on the main topic. The actual sourced publication information and such is already covered there, and the remainder of this article is simply overly detailed plot summaries and "lists of appearances" that are either unsourced or sourced only to primary sources. 21:07, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
