Answer (comics)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fictional characters who fail WP:GNG - no significant coverage in reliable independent sources. Google finds nothing adequate for either of them - [1], [2]. Furthermore per WP:MOSFICTION and WP:PLOT, this sort of excessive in-universe description is inappropriate. Claritas § 23:08, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There's a short article about the character in The Encyclopedia of Super Villains (New York, Facts On File Publications, pp 6-7).SPNic (talk) 16:15, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There needs to be significant coverage in multiple reliable independent sources to substantiate notability. Claritas § 18:19, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per SPNic, although it would help if you would directly add such sources to the article. BOZ (talk) 05:34, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep due to sources from SPNic. Not sure if it's enough to WP:verifynotability but the article deserves some time before we figure out if it has the potential to meet baseline standards. Shooterwalker (talk) 00:58, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep A character from the Marvel Comics universe, all of which are notable by having Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four for cousins. Answer has even appeared in Spider-Man's books. Nineteen Nightmares (talk) 01:20, 11 July 2010 (UTC)Nineteen Nightmares[reply]

Neutral - if there are sources, great, if not, delete, but the notion that every single character in the Marvel Universe is automatically notable because Spider-Man and the FF are notable is patently wrong and not a valid justification for keeping.
