Vext was the name of both a very short-lived comic and its titular hero, neither of which appear to pass the WP:GNG. Despite being made by a pretty impressive creative team, the series does not seem to have garnered any attention at all, as I was unable to find any sources that consisted of more than brief mentions. The only source included in the article that is not just an issue of the comics themselves is not actually on the character. This could possibly be used as a Redirect to Keith Giffen, but as there is no sourced content here that is outside of the plot summary, there is nothing that should actually be retained.

comment Best thing I’ve found so far is a blog entry on how forgotten it is, which is not exactly encouraging. It’s bizarrely under covered for a big name in comics at the start of the internet age. Will probably delve around a bit more but it isn’t looking good. Artw (talk) 06:36, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete did not find any reliable third party coverage to establish notability. If someone finds a valid redirect target that can't hurt. Jontesta (talk) 18:16, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of DC Comics characters: V (could even merge a few sentences, I guess). Fails WP:GNG. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:38, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - if the first sentence in the publication history is true, there was probably coverage of it in Wizard or Comic Buyer's Guide. I thought Sovereign Seven was the only comic to fit that description. If a source for that can be found and the article refactored to cover the series instead of the character, I'd support keeping.
