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. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:47, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete due to a lack of third party sources to pass the WP:GNG. Only WP:PASSINGMENTIONS which are not enough to establish WP:NOTABILITY. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:32, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - The article fails WP:GNG and does not meet the standards of WP:WAF. TTN (talk) 20:07, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to New Gods. Still a plausible search term and should be redirected. I think New Gods is the best opton. Rhino131 (talk) 02:24, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep or Redirect to New Gods important to the topic of comics. Darkknight2149 10:55, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - it's a major staple in DC Comics, has been depicted in fictional media.Valkyrie Red (talk) 05:56, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: New Genesis is discussed at length in Hand of Fire: The Comics Art of Jack Kirby (University Press of Mississippi, 2011). You can see some of this material in the Amazon "Look Inside" preview. I'll give a couple sample sentences, both from page 196: "The saga turns out to be not so simple, for Kirby — and this is revealing – blurs the seeming idealized perfection of New Genesis, adding complexity to his gods... Characteristically, the heroes of New Genesis are mostly youths, representing hope, energy, and enthusiasm." This isn't plot summary — while it does describe characters and plot elements, it then builds on that to provide analysis and literary criticism. Similarly, in The Jack Kirby Collector #76 (2019), there is much discussion of New Genesis; one good example is on page 34: "Kirby knew that New Genesis was no heaven. Rather, it was more like the free West during the Cold War, which was threatened by forces from within as well as without." These are just a couple of examples. Kirby's work has been well studied and covered, especially the Fourth World material, and the conflict between New Genesis and Apokolips is at the heart of that work. Sources abound. — Toughpigs (talk) 03:52, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
