Merge and transwiki. We are discussing what to do with entries like this on the Comic Project - see here. This seems like an ideal candidate for this kind of thing. (Emperor (talk) 16:12, 16 March 2008 (UTC))[reply]
Note that this is a comic book character as well as a separate comic book title, so if there is merging, it would have to be to separate lists covering both aspects. Postdlf (talk) 16:29, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I cannot imagine that there is not sufficient information about this to write an article. Phil Sandifer (talk) 16:33, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Comic series from a major publisher. Pburka (talk) 19:06, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Don't delete, no opinion beyond that as to whether it should be merged or kept separate. As a comic series from a major publisher, it's at the very least an element of an undeniably notable subject, DC Comics, so deletion is not an option. The question then remains whether there is enough substantive information specific to that element to justify an independent article, or whether it should merely be merged or even just mentioned elsewhere, such as in a list of DC Comics titles, a list of DC characters, and in the creators' bios.

- Comment I've added some references and done more searching and he doesn't seem to have appeared outside of his own eponymous title. As there isn't enough material to create anything other than a thin, plot-based article (failing numerous guidelines) so I think it'd be legitimate to merge it to characters and then just put a link through from a list of titles (and creators bibliographies). Also worth transwiking as the DC wikia has nothing on him either and it'd make sense to kickstart that entry. Unless anyone knows of anything not obvious from looking around online.
