Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Red X

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect‎ to List of Teen Titans (TV series) characters#Red X. As a side note, "Delete per TNT" is an oxymoron. WP:TNT is an essay about an editorial approach to rewriting an article on a notable topic that belongs on WP. If you !vote "per TNT", you're !voting to keep and rewrite the article.

This page is a disaster. It's completely uncited, provides zero real-world context besides listing issues that the character appears in, and doesn't illustrate notability at all. Not to mention that the page doesn't even clarify that it's about a comic character, and the lead just presents the subject as if it's a real person. I don't know if this character is actually notable, but even if it is, this page seems unsalvageable to me except for a complete rewrite. WP:TNT.

Delete: Nothing indicating why this might warrant an article. If the fictional character has no out of universe analysis then they clearly aren't notable. -- D'n'B-t -- 19:17, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Teen Titans (TV_series) characters#Red_X - The state of the article is so terrible at providing context that its hard to tell, but this actually about a character that appeared in the Teen Titans (TV series). They already have an appropriate section in the main character list for that series, so this should simply be redirected there. As this is a complete mess of unsourced, in-universe plot information, any kind of merging would not be appropriate. Rorshacma (talk) 20:50, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect and semi-protect: This is an uncredited copypaste from Fandom by someone who either won't or can't hear that we don't need it, and therefore keeps re-creating it. - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 21:32, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Rorshacma. Fandom content is freely licensed, but there's more than one site hosting the article and nothing much worth keeping, so probably best to delete the article and its history first. hinnk (talk) 05:23, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's free-with-attribution, right? So even if this were an article appropriate to Wikipedia, an uncredited copypaste would still not be okay. -- D'n'B-t -- 08:07, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Uncited and unverified. At best a WP:TNT scenario. Jontesta (talk) 23:22, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rewrite or merge with List of DC Comics characters: R while rewriting in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. The unidentified second Rex X has crossed over into the mainstream comics. --Rtkat3 (talk) 01:44, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - You can't just cite WP:PRESERVE as a rationale for Keeping or merging without addressing the very obvious problem with sourcing. Have you actually found any significant coverage in reliable sources that would actually justify a Keep or Merge argument? Rorshacma (talk) 15:40, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
