Talk:Striker (Marvel Comics)

Merge to List of Marvel Comics characters: S

He is notable as one of the few LGBT heroes.Rachelskit (talk) 14:12, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

The article's only sources are primary ones. The character has appeared as part of a team in only two series. A Google search for "striker marvel comics" returns nothing notable for this character, and actually assumes I mean William Stryker. The only pages that link here are for the comic title he appeared in, or articles for characters who also appeared in those comics. Do you have any sources showing this character is notable outside of the series he appears in? Argento Surfer (talk) 15:24, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

He's had 64 appearances in Marvel comics, which is not insignificant. He'a also appeared in Armor Wars and Marvel Universe Vs. The Avengers. He also has a minifig in Lego Marvel Heroes. Just because William Stryker, who was featured in several movies and Google Autocorrects to him, doesn't mean this character isn't notable.Rachelskit (talk) 01:10, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Appearances in 64 Marvel comics over the last 6 years? Wow!

Considering Marvel publishes 60-80 comics a month, that actually is pretty insignificant. Do you have any WP:RELIABLE sources that show this character is WP:Notable outside of the fiction he appears in? Argento Surfer (talk) 13:36, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

No reply, no improvement. Merging back to the list. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:21, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Let me do soem more research, do not merge yet. Rachelskit (talk) 14:20, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

How about you do the research, then un-merge? There's Wikipedia:There is no deadline, and it's not like this is a super popular page. If you find enough material to warrant splitting, I won't oppose. Argento Surfer (talk) 14:22, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, Don't Rush to delete Articles, maybe somebody else will come in and add to the article.Rachelskit (talk) 14:51, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Merging isn't deleting. All relevant content exists at the redirect. Anyone else is also welcome to research first and/or improve the entry on the redirect. You've been restoring this page since December 5 (one month ago), but you've yet to make a single improvement to it. Argento Surfer (talk) 16:17, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Agree with Argento Surfer that the content should be housed at the List of Marvel characters: S article. If the notability and appearance in third party sources talking about the character increases at some point, the discussion can be revisited. It is not like we are saying remove the content all together, just that it does not need to be its own article at this time. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 00:53, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
