The result was merge to List of minor Marvel Comics characters or elsewhere if there's consensus for it Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:22, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable fictional character. His most significant appearance was in two issues of a C-list title. PROD was declined in favor of a merge with List of Marvel Comics characters: A, but I think merging any of this content into a list of names would be inappropriate.

• Merge - don't see a problem with the requested merge, or at least just redirect the article for now (until a day when, who knows, there may be some sources). BOZ (talk) 20:42, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge Per BOZ. Contra the nominator, not everything in an article need be merged; a "merge" request should almost always be interpreted as a selective merge, and that is what I prefer. Certainly, the article appears to be a poorly sourced description of a character not meriting a separate article. Actually, since he appears only in the context of Nova (comics), he could be listed at List of Marvel Comics characters: A and then discussed with a bit of detail (though clearly not this much) at Nova's article.

• Merge it somewhere. I'd say List of minor Marvel Comics characters would be a better target than List of Marvel Comics characters: A (but that's something we can decide on the appropriate talk pages). Rangoondispenser (talk) 16:08, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
