Longstanding article that has never had any references. It has been redirected and PROD'd, it is time to see if it is worth keeping at all and whether the current WP:OR can be kept. The lack of references for 10+ years is just asking to be deleted all on its own, but I'm not sure the subject is even notable enough to merit even a well-sourced article. The cards certainly exist, there is even an (uncited, of course!) mention at DC vs. Marvel, as well as a proposed merge of this article that doesn't seem to be tagged here. I suggest redirecting to DC vs. Marvel. Lithopsian (talk) 15:20, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect is fine. More of a fanfic idea. Oaktree b (talk) 15:22, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect - search results suggest to me that this is not notable. There is no cited comment to merge. Please png me if good sources are identified. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:28, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unsalvagable fancruft, images likely pushing fair use to breaking point, no proof of notabilty or sources, even the page title is useless. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 16:51, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per nom. Walt Yoder (talk) 17:19, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per BoomboxTestarossa - The severe problems with the contents of the article means that the history probably should not be be preserved, and while redirects are cheap, this is not a particularly likely search term. Rorshacma (talk) 20:46, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to DC vs. Marvel and tag as needing sources. BD2412 T 15:38, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally the images' pages seem to be deliberately evading fair use standards and should be chopped but I'm unsure of the mechanism for doing so. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 16:41, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and delete with tag per BD2412. There are also waaaay too many non-free images. Only one can be kept to minimize non-free material. SWinxy (talk) 21:36, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Good grief it's hard to get anything done on here that doesn't involve nuking new articles. The page name isn't even formatted properly. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 08:56, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect per BD2412. Hiding T 12:42, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect or delete. Nothing to merge due to no references, so redirecting is a mercy considering this and the unlikely-to-be-searched-for name. This is pure WP:OR with no indication of WP:GNG associated with the subject. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:57, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

With respect, it's not original research, it can be sourced. To satisfy the terms of the license we'd need to merge and redirect, not merely redirect. There's enough that can be merged and sourced here. More than happy to take care of it when this afd eventually closes if someone drops me a line. Hiding T 09:41, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Taken a pass at it, there's enough there to merge and redirect now. Hiding T 09:55, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've actually gone and been bold and merged already. Hiding T 10:03, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
