Comment: to Rom (comics). Taking a pragmatic approach, tis article has existed for 16 years(!) and is in such a poor state that either people don't want to fix it, or it's unfixable. Rom (comics) already summarizes this race over many, many paragraphs that nothing would be lost by ing it. &ndash

Comment: to Rom (comics).  seems to be the new favorite buzzword, but that does not mean that just because any old thing mentions the topic, it's immediately notable. Notability for the race is  from the comic in which they appear, nor from the series as a whole

Comment: per .  Oy vey...  .  Obviously the article is not in the best shape, and it should be trimmed WAY down; however, that is not cause for deletion, but improvement.  While I do recognize the argument Devonian Wombat makes, I still think there is enough specific to the Dire Wraiths separate from ROM.  Two main reasons, after the loss of ROM, Marvel still used them for X-Men and others; and they have their own series separate from ROM.  Unfortunately, not everything below from the older ages is available electronically, and requires some old-fashioned paper research, but I'll summarize.First arguement: The trade mark reporting is not at all press release material, and it is entirely secondary.  A reporter in the industry got wind of trade mark filings and decided to report on the happenings over the course of several months.  Before writing these articles, the source of information is US Patent office, not one of the publishers.  As to other sources, I had been trying to slowly accumulate them in order to improve the article, but with an AfD, there is now a 7-day timeframe, so I will unfortunately just be ING them here and ignore any elegant prose additions (for the time being). In-line content will be handled more elegantly in the article, but in this AfD I am going to show the exist, as stated above

Comment: per . Besides the many sources provided above, there's also this article from Bleeding Cool: "https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/04/11/marvel-comics-abandons-trademark-challenge-against-hasbro-over-dire-wraiths/ Marvel Comics Abandons Trademark Challenge Against Hasbro Over “Dire Wraiths”" (2017), which contains scans from some of the legal documents. They're clearly talking about the Dire Wraiths as separate from Marvel's Rom comic -- in fact, that's what the conflict is all about. It's true that the current article is almost entirely in-universe plot summary, but  says that the way an article is currently written does not affect the notability of the subject. The notability is established by the existence () of independent, reliable sources discussing the subject directly and in detail. Folks who are concerned about the current state of the article should make edits and improve it. I'll add some of these sources as a "Further reading" section so that people who want to improve the article have some good places to start
