Fictional city from DC comics, setting for Green Arrow - but does not seem notable on its own. We have here just a plot summary + listing of apperancees, i.e. pure WP:FANCRUFT. My BEFORE fails to show anything better than [1], which seems to be a student paper (not a thesis - the best I can figure out it was just a course paper related to a blog - PopMeC Research Blog, since it is also part of the suggested citation in the pdf). I suggest redirecting either to Green Arrow or to the List of DC comics locations per WP:ATD-R. PS. Interested editors may want to know I also prodded an even worse IMHO article, Coast City. A redirect is always fine as I noted there, or we can have another AFD is someone thinks it merits it. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:17, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I have been slowly improving the page, and have added a variaty of sources. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 22:24, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@OlifanofmrTennant I assume you refer to this. Which of the sources you added go beyond plot summary/mentions of the fact that this entity appeared in media x (WP:NOTPLOT), and their treatment of this location meets WP:SIGCOV? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:50, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect/Merge to Arrowverse. It seems to go against WP:INDISCRIMINATE. I have no opposition to draftification to improve the article either, but it needs context and reception. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:18, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of DC Universe locations. I agree this does not pass GNG and the list is probably the best target as its a setting both in comics and the tv show. Rhino131 (talk) 14:19, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect due to insufficient coverage. Does not pass WP:GNG and should be deleted, but redirects are cheap. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:00, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge with List of DC Universe locations in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. --Rtkat3 (talk) 19:49, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
