No indication of relationship with GNG/NFICTION, pure PLOT+list of appearances in media. Cool name though. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:49, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

- Agree, delete. But, as a regular recurring character, I'd suggest merging to a new List of supporting characters in Judge Dredd. --Nicknack009 (talk) 07:39, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

- Merge as above. As usual, deletion of information which can be merged elsewhere benefits nobody. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:58, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- Again, Misplaced Pages is not an indiscriminate collection of information. "Misplaced Pages treats creative works (including, for example, works of art or fiction, video games, documentaries, research books or papers, and religious texts) in an encyclopedic manner, discussing the development, design, reception, significance, and influence of works in addition to concise summaries of those works." See also Manual of Style/Writing about fiction. Is your information encyclopedic, or is it just a catalogue of trivia and minutiae? The current Judge Death article is the latter, like most Judge-Dredd-related content on Misplaced Pages, is very much the latter and it needs culled.--Nicknack009 (talk) 16:45, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep As usual with these nominations, no effort has been made to search for sources as required by WP:BEFORE and WP:NEXIST. It only takes a few seconds to find substantial coverage such as this. The topic therefore passes WP:GNG and applicable policies include WP:ATD, WP:NOTPAPER, WP:PRESERVE. Andrew🐉(talk) 14:47, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Judge Death: "You live. That isss ssufficcient."
- Your link is not "substantial coverage". It's a text page in a Judge Dredd comic. --Nicknack009 (talk) 16:45, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- That source passes WP:SIGCOV as it contains and verifies many facts about the subject, such as their first appearance. It is quite adequate and, in any case, there many more sources out there such as that. As sources are so easy to find, and the nominator clearly hasn't made the slightest effort to familiarise himself with the topic, the discussion should be terminated per WP:SK to avoid further waste of time. Andrew🐉(talk) 16:54, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- SIGCOV says "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." (emphasis in original). A one page recap in a Judge Dredd comic is neither significant nor independent, so certainly does not pass SIGCOV. Your second link, the book War, Politics and Superheroes, is a bit better: it's independent at least, but is one page in one book significant? I can't find anything else on Google Books. There's nothing relevant at the British Newspaper Archive. I can't find anything else but fan pages and news reports of the death of a real-world judge. If there sources out there to establish real-world (not "in-universe") notability, I can't find them. --Nicknack009 (talk) 18:00, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Keep: I did a google search and found some results for him. You just got to type magic key words here. Also I should note even current articles compare a new popular character like The Batman Who Laughs to him. A few example of the sources are in that Misplaced Pages page.

- Delete - Sources need to be provided for them to be taken into consideration. As of now, no sources = no notability. TTN (talk) 18:49, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- I'd rate the above sources as mostly passing mentions. The most in-depth real world information is just a quote from a creator, which doesn't particularly help the notability issue. Otherwise, it's pretty minor stuff like a one sentence opinion on inspiration for a Batman comic and a half a sentence describing the character as popular. TTN (talk) 19:25, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
