Asbestos Man: There's a couple of sources discussing his relation to asbestos, but there is so little beyond those sources that I don't see why this can't be covered more effectively in the characters list.  I'd suggest a merge there as an AtD.  Has one ever considered Magneton?

Has one ever considered Magneton?  Pokelego999 ( talk ) 18:17, 11 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep based on existing sources in the article, or failing that merge to List of Marvel Comics characters: A .  BOZ ( talk ) 23:26, 11 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep or merge with List of Marvel Comics characters: A in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE .  -- Rtkat3 ( talk ) 01:43, 12 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : The two asbestos-related sources demonstrate that the character has a small but unique place in Marvel history.  Most minor characters don't get coverage like this.  Toughpigs ( talk ) 03:02, 12 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Two sources don't make a whole article, especially not for a character as minor as Asbestos Man.  My BEFORE found maybe one more usable source, and sure that's decent , but the amount of information is very short and there's not enough sourcing to really justify a split.  Has one ever considered Magneton?  Pokelego999 ( talk ) 03:16, 12 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Can you tell us what the third source is that you found?  Toughpigs ( talk ) 17:32, 12 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Apologies, I really should've included that in the nom.  The Rise & Fall (and Legacy) of Asbestos Comic Book Villains I say it's iffy because it looks like a blog, which to my knowledge aren't reliable.  Has one ever considered Magneton?  Pokelego999 ( talk ) 20:25, 12 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I think it further demonstrates notability — again, somebody writing about how Asbestos Man reflects the changing understanding of the dangers of asbestos.  Toughpigs ( talk ) 22:18, 12 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Blogs still aren't reliable to my knowledge.  I'd typically agree this presents some degree of notability, but in this case, there doesn't seem to be much that is usable.  Has one ever considered Magneton?  Pokelego999 ( talk ) 22:34, 12 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete or Merge Per nom.  Random throwaway villain.  The presented sources fail WP:USERG and fail to show he is notable.  ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 22:31, 12 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge whatever is deemed notable by someone who knows more about it than I do.  Bduke ( talk ) 23:44, 12 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete The trivial mention about the asbestos industry using a character like this for coverups could be mentioned in that article, there's no need for a standalone. -- Kung Fu Man ( talk ) 06:17, 13 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.
