Some kind of weird, expanded disambiguation page on a shared name used by three characters. One of the characters seems completely unrelated, while the other two are actually connected. The unrelated character is a redirect. The connected ones currently have articles, but I've nominated one of them for deletion. There doesn't look to be anything in terms of sourcing indicating the shared name is at all notable, so this should probably redirect to Bart Allen after being deleted.

Comment - At the very least, the entire "In Other Media" section should be removed - it is entirely only about Bart, and is completely duplicated at Bart Allen#In other media. My immediate thought was that this should be a Redirect to Bart Allen, as he is the character that is by far the most known by this name. But, while I haven't taken a close look at the Irey West AFD, I would hazard a guess that at the very least, its probably going to wind up getting merged to a character list rather than being outright deleted, in which case this article would still be somewhat useful as just a normal, non-"expanded" disambiguation page to distinguish between Bart and Irey. I'm going to hold off on making any kind of official recommendation for now, though. Rorshacma (talk) 20:52, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Bart Allen - After giving it some thought, this would definitely be the best way to go. The "Kent Shakespeare" version is not notable under this name at all, and even if the Irey West article is kept or merged, readers can be directed to it via a hatnote on the Bart Allen article rather than a separate disambiguation page.

Redirect to Bart Allen, I guess. The other two weren't notable under the alias, and anyone knowledgeable enough about them to search the name can find them without the help of a DAB page. Gotta say, I'm stunned there's not an article about the 89-issue comic series. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:30, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Bart Allen per above. 99.9% of the time Impulse refers to him, and I don't think the other characters with that name warrant a separate article for Impulse.Rhino131 (talk) 12:52, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Let's hold on to this page as a WP:SETINDEX due to Bart Allan not being the only character to use the name Impulse. --Rtkat3 (talk) 23:50, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
