A fictional location mentioned in a number of primary sources (comics, now a TV series or two). Nothing show this passes Wikipedia:Notability (fiction). At best, a summary could be merged to List of locations of the DC Universe. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 15:33, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to the main article or list if sources cannot be shown to exist. TTN (talk) 02:27, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to List of locations of the DC Universe. It's not independently notable, but it is notable within the fiction and it would be needlessly cumbersome to explain it on numerous articles instead of linking it. Argento Surfer (talk) 16:32, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep for now for lack of a suitable redirect target. Ubiquitous enough to be a plausible search term; not a discrete location so the proposed redirect target is inappropriate. It's not "a location", and we don't yet have an article like Natural features of the DC Universe which would be an accurate redirect target. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006. (talk) 17:04, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The fifth paragraph under Fictional history give the location of the 5 Lazarus Pits with a source. I don't have access to the source to confirm, but it seems like enough of a location to me. Argento Surfer (talk) 17:13, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to List of locations of the DC Universe. The article is uncited / self-cited in-universe prose; zero encyclopedic content. Wikipedia is not a DC Comics Wiki. I don't see a reason for a merge as no independent sources are present. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:46, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Some level of merging is needed because Lazarus Pit is not currently listed on [[List of locations of the DC Universe]]... Argento Surfer (talk) 13:20, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
