This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Comics and animation. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add ((Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName)) to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding ((subst:delsort|Comics and animation|~~~~)) to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Comics and animation.

Appears to fail WP:GNG and WP:NTV. Tagged for notability since January 2023

Citations on other language pages do not appear to support notability either. DonaldD23 talk to me 13:57, 24 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The subject is not discussed outside of G. I. Joe publications except for a few mere mentions. Efforts to redirect this have failed. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:42, 23 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Redirect to G.I. Joe Team, which from the page history, I see had been attempted prior to this AFD. The current article is completely made up of in-universe plot information, with the only sources being used being issues of comic books. And searches show that this is not a topic that could actually be expanded to anything beyond that. Outside of obviously unreliable sources, I'm only finding the most trivial mentions of The Pit that do nothing more than confirm that yes, it was the name of the Joe's headquarters in some of the continuities. It is in no way close to being notable enough for an independent article. Rorshacma (talk) 16:42, 23 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Delete: Cool toy, not notable outside of the context of G.I. Joe though. Leaning delete because this has already been redirected and reverted 3 times so I doubt a redirection would stick. StreetcarEnjoyer (talk) 21:43, 23 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comment I am the one who redirected all those G.I. Joe articles. Yes, I did get blocked for it, but it was because most of them have the same problem as The Pit. 2605:B40:13E7:F600:949F:C33D:7BD5:A7CC (talk) 21:25, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Keep if more sources are found, otherwise I am fine with a merge to G.I. Joe Team. BOZ (talk) 07:00, 26 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The cartoonist does not have any significant coverage. No indication of notability, fails WP:GNG. And now it lacks WP:SIGCOV. The first nomination is so old.XpediaF1 (talk) 15:00, 19 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Delete. Fails WP:GNG. Evaluation showed that one of the source is a blog, cuttingchai.com and this fails reliability. Two other sources simply have reference about the subject, belittling the politicians on the anniversary of attack on Indian Parliament. That's about it. There is no significant coverage on the subject itself, notable enough to have an article of its own. RangersRus (talk) 16:01, 19 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No refs on the page for many years. I don't read Italian but I'm not seeing anything which would meet the notability standards on en.wiki JMWt (talk) 11:15, 15 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Comics and animation and Italy. JMWt (talk) 11:15, 15 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Keep. The corresponding article in Italian has references. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 13:28, 15 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  Can you read Italian? Are these 'significant' coverage as per the GNG on en.wiki? 1 is the page on it.wiki for everyone else JMWt (talk) 14:20, 15 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  I can read Italian; one of the sources on the it.wiki page is a biography of the author (on a site whose reliability is probably debatable), the other two are collections of comic strips that contained the work in question. Not sufficient for WP:GNG. I would recommend a Redirect to Leonardo Ortolani as WP:ATD. Broc (talk) 14:31, 15 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Delete: The Italian wiki article has two newspaper articles that don't have links, as external sources. I can't find them, so I can't comment. All I can find are links to the comic strip or a website for it. Oaktree b (talk) 16:16, 15 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Redirect to Leonardo Ortolani. Sources demonstrating WP:GNG might exist, but they haven't been brought forward in either the English-language or Italian-language Wikipedia entries. In neither entry am I seeing that there is so much to say about the comic that it can't be adequately summarised in a few sentences in Leonardo Ortolani, without prejudice to the article's recreation if editors can cite appropriate sources. As a sidenote, the article should probably be L'ultima burba with a lowercase B per MOS:FOREIGNTITLE. IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 20:32, 17 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
