Deletion of Melter

Comment: I posted this in my vote on the AfD for Ringer (comics) and am reposting it here as the point is the same: There may be important questions to ask about such middle-rank comics characters, in relation to  (and I know I have spoken to various people about this as a lot of the lower level and mid level characters should probably be merged into a characters entry) but I think that requires a broader debate. Deletion is a poor interim solution and, as the entry looks solid enough, I am voting to keep it, at least until the broader issues can be addressed and resolved (not dealt with piecemeal like this) - at which point we might want to return to this

Comment: Those of you arguing keep are making a mistake that I myself made when I first began participating in deletion discussions; that is, you're assuming that this character passes |notability standards for fictional characters simply because he is an important figure in the work. This is simply not the case. If I wrote a comic tonight that was centered on a character called Admin-Man, would he be notable? Certainly not, no matter how important he is in my comic. Now you might be thinking, "Sure, but this isn't any old comic, it's Iron Man for Pete's sake!" Indeed, but remember, notability is not |inherited. Yes, Iron Man is notable, but that doesn't mean every character who has ever graced the pages of the comic is. All that being said, I imagine it is quite possible to find some sources on this character; primarily, I'm thinking ''Wizard (magazine)|Wizard'' will have covered him at some point. If we go by the letter of the law, this looks like a delete at the moment.  However, I think this is an instance where |ignoring the rules benefits the encyclopedia
