Very minor antagonist in the franchise who has barely shown up past his initial appearance. The previous deletion discussion allowed it to stay due to a few encyclopedic sources, but outside of those few sources, I don't believe it meets GNG or SIGCOV.

Delete - Fancruft. Made one appearance and was seemingly (the article isn’t very clear) retconned out of existence. Run-of-the-WP:MILL dumb early villain who went nowhere. Highly unlikely to have in depth sources. Dronebogus (talk) 01:13, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/redirect seems appropriate here. List of Batman family enemies#Enemies of lesser renown is close to what was suggested in the previous AfD. —siroχo 01:15, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Nobody is going to search for or even link to the Penny Plunderer, a strong contender for most obscure Batman villain ever. Dronebogus (talk) 01:17, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  I understand. That's fine. It's not generally an argument to delete. See WP:WEDONTNEEDIT —siro χ o 20:05, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  Then call me "nobody", because I actually have. Nearly every article I have seen concerning the Batcave notes this character due to the large penny trophy. (Even Wikipedia: Batcave#Memorabilia.) And wondering who the heck that is, is honestly human nature. This isn't like noting whether Batman ate a ham sandwich on Tuesday. - jc37 00:51, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Batman family enemies#Enemies of lesser renown - I don't think there is any material worth merging, but he is already included in the target list and redirects are cheap. And honestly, I can see this being at least a plausible search, if only for people hearing the trivia of where Batman's giant penny originated from. Rorshacma (talk) 02:32, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Rorshacma. 〜 Festucalex • talk 05:19, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per above, the article doesn't go beyond plot summary and catalogue-like "appeared in" listings. There is nothing to indicate this character meets WP:GNG. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:59, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge with List of DC Comics characters: P in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. We have to put his media appearance somewhere. --Rtkat3 (talk) 19:01, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Why? We are not an Wikipedia:INDISCRIMINATE collection of information! Dronebogus (talk) 00:11, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
wikt:indiscriminate - To use a quote from The Princess Bride: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." - jc37 00:51, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I am unconvinced that even the section on this villain in the Batman enemies list would survive a cleanup. Fails WP:GNG. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:33, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge/Redirect per above. - Whether the info is in a separate article, or on a list page is immaterial, as long as info about the character is retained. Both List of Batman family enemies#Enemies of lesser renown and List of DC Comics characters: P would be appropriate targets for the info, if the article page is not kept. - jc37 00:51, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
