Rosearik Rikki Simons

[edit]
AfDs for this article:
Rosearik Rikki Simons (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I swear, this is not a campaign against Invader Zim voice actors...

The sources in the article are abhorrent: an interview (therefore a primary source), a few YouTube videos (which themselves are just narrated listicles and a recording of a convention panel), two podcast interviews (therefore primary sources), a listicle from TheGamer, Simons' own books, and Behind the Voice Actors. Of these, only BTVA is a reliable source, but as WP:BTVA states, Editors agree that its coverage is routine and does not contribute to notability. Not a single one of these is SIGCOV, and several do not even seem to be reliable sources in the first place.

  • Newspapers.com for "Rosearik Rikki Simons":
    • "Comic Relief": Name-drops Simmons as colorist on I Feel Sick. (A reprint of this article was also the only result for his name on JSTOR.)
    • "Week in Review": Name-drops Simmons as guest of honor at a local con in Missoula.
  • Newspapers.com for "Rikki Simons":
    • "Kawaii Kon Talk": Name-drops Simmons as a guest at a con.
    • "Kawaii Kon 2008": Same as last year.
    • Beyond that, any 2010s searches for "Rikki Simons" were either false positives for unrelated people, or passing name-drops of him attending cons.

So far, none of this is SIGCOV.

GBooks was similarly useless, returning only comics Simons worked on and a couple of animation databases. @Sammi Brie: fared no better, finding only a one-sentence mention of his comic work. Also like Andy Berman, I found a couple routine name-drops of him reprising the GIR role for Enter the Florpus, but literally all they confirm is that he is returning. I was wholly unable to confirm any biographical information, such as date of birth, spouse, or any work prior to I Feel Sick.

Much like Berman, I feel Simons has just enough credits for a redirect to be undue weight, but not enough to pass the WP:GNG filter. This is exactly the same SIGCOV void Berman fell into, so I think it's time to sing the doom song for his article. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 15:34, 7 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Bill Cipher

Bill Cipher (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Not enough substance or citations. I know nothing about the series or the character, and I see that there is a proposal on the Gravity Falls talk page suggesting that it has been used in other series, but none of those listed mention it, and this article is not sufficiently cited to prove notability. I suggest merging into Gravity Falls. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 22:55, 4 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

On further reflection, the article could no doubt be enlarged and improved by using some of the content and citations from The Book of Bill, and Cipher Hunt, but as it stands, it is not convincing (apart from the stylistic errors). Laterthanyouthink (talk) 22:58, 4 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Gravity Falls characters where Bill is already listed. This page was already merged via consensus early last year, and this new article is just a stub. Nothing has changed notability wise since the merger. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:22, 5 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Harlequin (DC Comics)

Harlequin (DC Comics) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

(Not to be confused with Harley Quinn). No evidence of WP:GNG: just a plot summary (for four semi-related characters...) and list of appearances, no analysis, and reception limited to: "The Harlequin was ranked 100th in Comics Buyer's Guide's "100 Sexiest Women in Comics" list, although this list does not specify which version of the character was chosen". Sigh. My BEFORE failed to find anything of use (seems like it's a very niche character). WP:ATD-R points to the List of DC Comics characters, I guess. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:16, 3 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of DC Comics characters: H to Harlequin's section. Valid merge target to preserve this info, even if there's not enough for a separate article. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 03:44, 3 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hawkman (Carter Hall)

Hawkman (Carter Hall) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The usual plot summary and list of appearances, with zero academic analysis or even reception. My BEFORE failed to find anything useful (the best I got is this Screenrant article, and it's mostly rehash of plot summary: [1]). WP:ATD-R points to a List of DC Comics characters. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:08, 3 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Hawkman, where this identity is described in depth. The alias of Hawkman is likely notable, but I doubt Hall is individually notable of the wider identity. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 03:43, 3 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Fair point on WP:VALNET; I withdraw the Screen Rant cite and I'm not relying on Valnet for notability.
The question is whether the character meets WP:GNG / WP:NFC via significant, independent reliable coverage beyond routine cast/plot mentions. There is at least some such coverage: The Hollywood Reporter ran a substantial feature discussing the character's publication history and significance, not just the film appearance (Graeme McMillan, "The Many Lives of 'Black Adam' Hero Hawkman").
I've also located an EBSCO Research Starters background/reference entry (Hawkman (character)), which may be useful for basic context but I agree it should not be treated as strong evidence of independent notability on its own.
I'll add these (and continue looking for additional non-Valnet independent coverage) and expand Reception/Analysis accordingly. If, after that pass, the sourcing is still mostly routine/trivial, I'd support a redirect/merge to Hawkman per the suggestion above. Sparks19923 (talk) 01:33, 5 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Sparks19923 Both of these are about the Hawkman identity, largely, and discuss Hall as part of that identity. Most of this is just discussing the evolution of the role overtime, rather than putting significant discussion of Hall separately from Hawkman (Wikipedia:SIGCOV). This seems very much a Wikipedia:NOPAGE situation. Why split Hall out when he's only notable as being one of the identities of Hawkman, and is only discussed within the context of Hawkman's wider history?
Hawkman is definitely notable, but is Hall independently notable of Hawkman? My wager is probably not. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 04:23, 5 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect/Merge with Hawkman page. Since I had last edited the Hawkman page, I felt pretty confident you could merge both versions of the character into the page and treat it as a immortal warrior reincarnating multiple times. Unlike the Kendra version, which her story includes distancing and being more independent form her past lives, Hawkman in general has consistencies and addressing descrepancies is not out of the question.

Entire page has three sources, 2 of which are YouTube. I'm not seeing any sort of notability online other than a few articles that seem to focus on single events, and the article is littered with paid / COI edits. – LuniZunie(talk) 21:28, 25 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Templates for discussion

[edit]
This section is transcluded from Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2025 November 5 § Redirect comics templates. (edit | history)
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more templates or modules. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was delete. Izno (talk) 23:23, 13 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:R comics with possibilities with Template:R with possibilities; Template:R comics from alternative name with Template:R from alternative name; Template:R comics to list entry with Template:R to list entry; Template:R comics from merge with Template:R from merge; Template:R comics from related word with Template:R from related word; and Template:R comics to section with Template:R to section, respectively.
Note that this isn't a proposal to merge all these templates into one huge template, but to merge the comics redirect templates into their non-comics equivalents. I think the comics redirect templates should be merged into their respectively similary titled templates, without the word 'comics' in them, because they otherwise serve similar purposes, and I don't see the point of them being separate. I'm open to the proposals of the templates without the word 'comics' in their titles having the {{{comics}}} parameter instead if that's what Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics and its participants want. I'm surprised these proposals weren't made sooner. I've deliberately excluded 'Template:R comics naming convention' from this proposal because it serves a specific purpose and because there's no non-comics-related template similar to that one. PK2 (talk; contributions) 12:44, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I've deliberately listed all the above templates in this one discussion because I don't see the point in having separate discussions for each of the respective comics redirect templates and their non-comics equivalents. PK2 (talk; contributions) 00:05, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@TadgStirkland401: The nominator wants to merge all the comics into the non-comics. I.e. merge the first with the second ("R comics with possibilities" with "R with possibilities"), the third with fourth ("R comics from alternative name" with "R from alternative name") and so on. Christian75 (talk) 20:43, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As of 2025-11-09 I feel that the proposal is clear enough (replace all the "R comics" templates with their regular counterparts), and I weak support because this also seems unnecessarily redundant to me. If anyone has a good reason for keeping them then I'd be interested to hear it! But my hunch is that it's just historical cruft. Hopefully an automated replacement can also automatedly "add {{WikiProject Comics}} to the talk page of the redirect" or whatever (if anyone actually cares about that; I don't really know) as well. Dingolover6969 (talk) 05:36, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per voidxor. Christian75 (talk) 20:43, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support the actual intent here. This was mislisted as a single merge (i.e. to one template), when the intent is clearly to merge {{R comics with possibilities}} to {{R with possibilities}}, then separately merge {{R comics from alternative name}} to {{R from alternative name}}, and so on. This should be done unless there's a compelling reason we need to divide each of these "R with/from/to generic_maintenance_categorization" rcats into topical subdivisions, and that comics in particular should be one of those subdivisions. (Even if that's actually true in some case, it is not necessarily true for all of them.) We shold do all of these merges in absence of a strong showing that one or more should not be merged. This is basically useless micro-intersection, of a sort that badly mixes categorization types and purposes. The identification of something as a comics topic is already accomplished (and is a reader- as well as editor-facing matter) by comics topical categories of the usual sort. Meanwhile, "R with/from/to generic_maintenance_categorization" categories are maintenance only and just editor-facing (nor do these generally need to be topically split, since editors working on categorization of, and other maintenance pertaining to, redirects that go in such categories are doing so on a cross-topical basis. Another way of putting it is that a redir being from an alternative name (or whatever) and it also pertaining to comics is a trivial intersection and non-defining characteristic.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  21:01, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I've just clarified my proposal to request to merge the comics redirect templates into their regular non-comics equivalents. I've deliberately listed all the above templates in this one discussion because I don't see the point in having separate discussions for each of the respective comics redirect templates and their non-comics equivalents. PK2 (talk; contributions) 01:48, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Question to supports: You are all saying you support the nomination, but three of you said per "SMcCandlish" which (if I read correctly) isn't in support of continuing with the comic-specific categorization. So it would seem the intent here is to replace (or redirect), rather than merge any functionality. Gonnym (talk) 07:14, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support, no need to differentiate FaviFake (talk) 18:12, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Only Support merging the comic variants of these R-cat templates into the corresponding general templates with matching names. For the avoidance of doubt, I Oppose merging the various R-cat templates that do not include the word comics. The proposal is badly worded and confusing at first glance. It would have been clearer if a separate proposal was made for each template that it was proposed to merge with its corresponding target template; as I interpret the proposal, it is only proposed to merge Template:R comics from merge into Template:R from merge, etc. This is not actually a proposal to merge all these templates together, even though it appears to be one based on the way the templates are listed. Hence my partial opposition. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 04:21, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete all the "redirect comics" after they have been replaces with the "normal" R-templates. My first vote was support, but it was unclear what I was supporting, but still per user:voidxor. strong oppose merging. Christian75 (talk) 08:24, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support if I've understood correctly that this is fundamentally equivalent to replacing "R [media type] from [relationship between source and target article]", at least for those articles to do with comics. If we have "Redirect from alternative name", we don't need a more precise "Redirect from comic with alternative name", for example. I think I'm in agreement with BobKilcoyne. UndercoverClassicist T·C 11:33, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per WP:NOPAGE Freddy[citation needed] 18:47, 8 November 2025 (UTC) WP:SOCKSTRIKE ~SG5536B 15:29, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question - Will this have any effect on the 109,000 uses of {{R with possibilities}} other than to add that template to a few comics redirects? Robert McClenon (talk) 21:51, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Daask (talk) 16:19, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support mergers of 'R comics xyz' to equivalent 'R xyz' templates and categories. The duplicate 'comics' categories serve no useful purpose. There is no clear rationale for comics' special treatment and this is likely to lead to inconsistent tagging. Oppose adding 'comics' parameter as I have not seen any rationale for adding this. Overall, I support simplifying Rcats and not having a million ways to subcategorize them unless there is a meaningful benefit to maintenance or another aspect of the project. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 16:47, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
