Doombot

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

Minor comic book characters. Topic fails WP:N: Cites no independent reliable sources, and none are likely to exist. Only in-universe content and trivia (...appeared in...) better suited to fan wikis, see WP:WAF. Sandstein 18:58, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge a short summary to Doctor Doom#Inventions, as they appear fairly regularly in Doctor Doom's plots, but they are (nearly) always seen in connection with him. No real independent notability. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 20:40, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Redirect as mentioned, perhaps no serious needs for deletion and is imaginably best connected to the series. SwisterTwister talk 22:08, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Classic supervillain schtick. No shortage of sources if we should need them – Scholastic Avengers Encyclopedia; The Hidden Europe: What Eastern Europeans Can Teach Us; Supervillains and Philosophy; The Supervillain Book; &c. Andrew D. (talk) 17:22, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Andrew Davidson: How much do these sources describe the Doombots rather than Dr. Doom? Sandstein 14:38, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Let this page stay. They are recurring foot soldiers of Doctor Doom. Andrew D. is right about his claim. --Rtkat3 (talk) 14:20, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep Doombots are a major part to understanding doctor doom. In most any comic with doctor doom, doombots are in play. Also, Doombot is a important character in the comic Avengers A.I. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 12:48, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge per above. BOZ (talk) 13:05, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect. The topic doesn't require extensive coverage. It's just one minor facet of the character that can be briefly mentioned in that article. TTN (talk) 20:10, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and Redirect. Completely unreferenced, despite 24 footnotes, therefore this character is not notable on its own. Prhartcom (talk) 04:34, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
