I've prodded this last yaer with "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar.". While it has been improved, I am afraid this hasn't been sufficient - the article is still just a publication history and plot summary, with zero evidence of significance (no reception, analysis, etc.). The only evidence of wider context is a sentence in the lead that describes the phenomane of WWII-era US patriotic superheroes (a likely notable topic), but that doesn't mean all such superheroes are notable. Some certainly are, but this one I am afraid does not. I recommend SOFTDELETE and redirecting to Fox_Feature_Syndicate#Fox_characters, maybe a small merge too. But unless we can find a reception of this that meets WP:SIGCOV and goes beyond one-two sentences of plot summary (as in the sources cited), I am afraid there is no compelling reason to keep this as a stand-alone entry (interestingly, it seems there is more coverage of its collectibe pinback button than of the chracter itself...). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:55, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In this case, I support the OP's suggestion that it be redirected to Fox_Feature_Syndicate#Fox_characters, while the sourced content should be merged into the appropriate page. Perhaps something about the collective pinback button can be put on the appropriate page as well. --Historyday01 (talk) 12:58, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Listify I agree that this meets V but is arguably NN, and might be best represented in a list article. Jclemens (talk) 00:19, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect - to Fox Feature Syndicate#Fox characters. Any pertinent cited material could be added there, and at this point there's no need for a separate list article. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:58, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and/or redirect per User:onel5969. Article doesn't have sources to pass the WP:GNG. Shooterwalker (talk) 14:08, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
