This page has been an orphan since it's creation in 2006. It has no references, and its one external link provides very little information about the subject. A search for the character and/or the title he appeared in only returns results for Wikipedia and mirrored content. Argento Surfer (talk) 15:55, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There is obviously not enough here to stand on its own as an article, and amazingly, some of what is here is wrong -- specifically, this was an Australian publication, not a British one. Generally, I'd prefer a merge/redirect result here over deletion, but none of the articles that would serve as upmerge targets exist. It's unlkely that the comic itself (variously titled The Invisible Avenger and Invisible Avenger Comics) would support an article either, although its publication is involved in a fairly complicated bit of Australian comics history. Despite ostensibly being printed by Jayar Studios and/or Illustrated Publications, this was very likely the work of publisher/printing company Ayers & James (best known in the field for the Australian reprints of Classics Illustrated) via its probable shell subsidiary Magazine Management (note that this is very much not the Magazine Management of Marvel Comics history). There's probably an article to be had in there, somewhere, but it's not here right now. And it's not this stublet about Cometman, regardless.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete per above. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 05:28, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as having been insufficient in-depth coverage by independent third-party sources. If links are added to the article, feel free to ping my talk page. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:35, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
