This fictional character article has no WP:RS reliable sources which WP:V its general notability per the WP:GNG and WP:NFICT. Thus this subject is an unsuitable topic for a standalone article. AadaamS (talk) 13:51, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or merge to List of Marvel Comics characters: C. BOZ (talk) 04:11, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to List of Marvel Comics characters: C. Nomination fails WP:BEFORE. A current lack of sources is not the same as no sources existing. Additionally, a previous bold merge to List of Marvel Comics characters: C was overturned as keep. Pinging @Spidey104: and @Rtkat3:, who participated in the merge discussion. Argento Surfer (talk) 16:02, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Ping @Cjhard: who was involved in the previous merge discussion. AadaamS (talk) 06:37, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • That user was involved in a different merge discussion, which was resolved as merge already... BOZ (talk) 11:31, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Yes, I read that discussion and it was not demonstrated how that article satisfied the GNG. As you can see below, Rtkat3 is using another comic to claim GNG. Another Marvel comic isn't a WP:RS because it isn't a WP:SECONDARY source. AadaamS (talk) 18:56, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• What BOZ meant was that Cjhard participated in a discussion to merge Century, not Cardiac. Argento Surfer (talk) 19:14, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Correct. I'll assume it was an honest mistake on the part of AadaamS, but I was confused for a moment when reviewing the talk page discussion to see where the subject of that ping came in. BOZ (talk) 21:56, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - As I mentioned in the talk page for List of Marvel Comics characters: C, I oppose the merge for Cardiac where I commented that the page needed improvement ever since his appearances during the issues of The Superior Spider-Man. Spidey104 and BOZ even agreed with me that time. --Rtkat3 (talk) 16:08, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Appearance in The Superior Spider-Man cannot verify notability as a WP:RS is required to verify notability. A WP:RS is per default be a secondary source. TSSM is a primary source because it's another Marvel publication. AadaamS (talk) 06:37, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge as the nominator said, there aren't reliable sources verifying the character's notability. They can't be found. Comic book characters aren't exempt from WP:GNG and WP:NFICT. Cjhard (talk) 06:50, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per BOZ. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 09:25, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The existence of the miniseries is a strong indicator of notability. I suspect sources will exist, albeit independent fanzines, or the likes of Wizard Magazine. --Killer Moff (talk) 15:11, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Killer Moff: - what miniseries? Argento Surfer (talk) 15:19, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Argento Surfer: - that's what I get for relying on my memories. I could've sworn he got one in the 90's, I can even picture the covers! But a quick google reveals no such thing. Oh well. Sign of getting old... --Killer Moff (talk) 15:28, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge per BOZ. DrStrauss talk 10:51, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
