Effectively the same reasoning as Baron Ironblood, beyond me not even realising this page existed until just now. To wit: - research conducted during creation of Action Force (comic strip) and update of Battle Picture Weekly found no sources to support a standalone page for the character. The one sources on the article is weak, it's very OR-y and really the character is a cypher. BEFORE brings up only passing references.

Not against redirecting to either Action Force or Action Force (comic strip). BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 18:39, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Seems like redirect to Action Force (comic strip) gives the reader the most information on the character. —siroχo 04:26, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: I lazily copied much of the nomination from that of Baron Ironblood, so would just like to note that describing the character as a cypher in this case is inaccurate as over the course of the comic the Black Major actually has a bit of interesting development, both with a dedicated origin arc and his continuation of the Red Shadows after the emergence of Cobra. However, this does not affect the actual nomination as none of this is covered by secondary sources. Just wanted to clarify. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 08:46, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Action Force per nom. There doesn't seem to be much for him. Pokelego999 (talk) 18:45, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Action Force (comic strip). This character has no SIGCOV. QuicoleJR (talk) 14:57, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete/Redirect Not enough WP:SIGCOV for a separate article. Shooterwalker (talk) 21:05, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
