Weapon X (Exiles)

Let's get a couple of things out of the way to start with. This is NOT an article about Wolverine = Weapon X. This is NOT an article about Weapon X, the programme that created Wolverine (Just so people don't get confused).

Ok - this is an article about the weapon X team who appeared in the first volume of the marvel Exiles series. They have never had their own series, they have never appeared anywhere else. They only exist and exist as a counterpoint to the Exiles *within* that series. The existence of this team is covered in the (awful inuniverse) Exiles series and only needs to be described in real world commentary in terms of their contrast to that team. All of the sources are primary and will remain so because this little known team has never been the subject of the depth of reliable real world independent sources that we require to construct an article don't exist. And if they don't exist (and they don't), neither should this article. All required detail is already covered in the Exiles article. Cameron Scott (talk) 12:57, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I'd rather try and save the article for now and see how it goes - flag concerns and see what out-of-universe material can be found. (Emperor (talk) 13:28, 15 October 2008 (UTC))[reply]

there isn't any - They are mentioned in a couple of interviews when they were created on newsarama but that's about it - they are not notable outside the context of being supporting characters for the exiles. --Cameron Scott (talk) 13:42, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
