Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fictional history of the DC Universe
I think that, although this list may have problems, it is salvagable.  First, I do not think  applies in this case; SYNTHESIS only applies when reaching "a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources."  The conclusions (dates of events) are frequently explicitly stated in some, but not all, comics.  This is expecially true of ''Zero Hour'' which contained a timeline of the DC Universe (possibly the basis for this article, in fact).  Individual entries may be , and should be removed, but the list as a whole can be verfied using the explicitly stated dates as mentioned.  As to the problem of the inconsistancy of DC's offical timeline, this can be solved by recognising the fact more clearly in the article.  Wikipedia is after all a tertiary source and not bound by what any company currently considers an "official" part of their fiction.  Taking the Lex Luthor example, the article can include ''both'' entries where he grew up in Smallville and where he grew up in Metropolis, provided that this is explained properly so as not the confuse the reader.  I think this can be done and, given a little time to consider the best way (probably footnotes), I will try to do so soon
