This is a mostly unsourced spin off from List of Dick Tracy characters. Wikipedia implores us to not immediately split articles if the new article would meet neither the general notability criteria nor the specific notability criteria for their topic. Wikipedia also implores us not to create endless splits of similar articles without sources when those topics can be covered together in a single article. The target article is also missing sources but at least provides a valid redirect target. Jontesta (talk) 18:07, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to List of Dick Tracy characters, but do not delete. The Dick Tracy franchise is known for the oddities of the villains created for it. See, e.g., CBR, "10 Ugliest Dick Tracy Villains". BD2412 T 01:56, 2 January 2025 (UTC) BD2412 T 01:54, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per BD2412. Agree that there is mergeable content, and that this would be the most appropriate outcome, placing information in a better and more accessible context for the reader. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:45, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
