I propose merging to List of Marvel Comics characters: Q because the article is just a plot summary and list of appearances, with no reception or such, and therefore fails WP:GNG (also WP:ALLPLOT, etc.). A rediret in such cases is the usual outcome, unless someone can find better sources (my BEFORE failed - all I get are low quality plot-filled listicles). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:42, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

VG Cats

First off, let's look at the sources in the article:

Out of 49 sources in the article, the only one that is significant third-party coverage is the 1UP.com article. I do not consider the three Joystiq blurbs SIGCOV as they are extremely short, routine fluff about random things happening in the comic.

A search for "VG Cats" on GBooks turned up nothing but false positives. "Scott Ramsoomair" gave a book that reprints Wikipedia articles, a book using one of the comics as a footnote, and a German book that mentions VG Cats for less than a sentence. GNews turned up another interview before quickly devolving into social media posts and unrelated content. JSTOR gave no results whatsoever.

The first AFD was a joke nomination, and the second did not have a sufficient deletion rationale, with 2008-me even arguing to keep back then. However, subsequent AFDs have formed a consensus that the Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards are not a well-known and independent award per WP:WEBCRIT, as other WCCA winners have been deleted for lack of sourcing, such as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mac Hall, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Count Your Sheep, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Applegeeks (2nd nomination), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sabrina Online (2nd nomination), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jack (webcomic) (3rd nomination), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Star Cross'd Destiny (2nd nomination), et al.

This is yet more webcomic cruft from the ancient days when webcomics had a greater hold on the Internet and our standards on articles for them were more relaxed. I think it's abundantly clear that, like so many of the webcomics I mentioned above, this one does not pass current notability guidelines.

• Delete Precisely as stated, it seems like the webcomic only has a single piece of significant coverage, and Ramsoomair does not seem to pass WP:NARTIST either. Since it fails WP:GNG, it should be deleted. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:13, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

• The Canadian newspaper The Record published a decent length article on Ramsoomair and the comic ("Web cartoonist is the cat's meow". ProQuest 267098469.) Google brings up A History of Web Comics volume 1 (Antarctic Press, 2006; ISBN 9780976804390) when I search, but I haven't been able to access. Not sure if you've already checked this one.

I propose redirecting to List of Marvel Comics characters: A (there is no List of Marvel Comics deities) because this is one of the myriad non-notable comic characters, and arguably one of the more minor ones, appearing in just a few books as a supporting character.

  1. Tawton, Sarah (2014-09-30). "TV channel to air children's series". Press Association. Factiva PARSOE0020140930ea9u000b5.

     The article notes: "A children's television series created and filmed by a team of volunteers in Kent is set to make its debut on the Community Channel. The Brilliant Book follows the adventures found in a book, as seen through the eyes of a young boy and his friends. The show has been created by Blue Red Green Media with help from students at Audio & Vision Training Academy in Ashford, who provided voiceovers and photography sessions. Their work has been illustrated by writer and artist Jessica Taylor while Blue Red Green Media director Rhonda Merrick, who wrote the series, provides music with her band Rhonda and The Great Unknown."

     The article notes: "A youngster from Mersea has been chosen to play the main part in a new children’s TV series. Benjamin John Taylor, nine, will play the lead role in the Brilliant Book, which will be on the Community Channel from October. The show is about the adventures of a boy and his friends. Each of the 26 episodes ends with the boy, played by Benjamin, adding his adventures of the day to his brilliant book."

     The article notes: "A woman from Ashford has created a new TV show for children. The Brilliant Book is the brainchild of Rhonda Merrick and will premiere on the Community Channel in October. Ms Merrick, 47, who was born in New Orleans, says the fun and educational show was inspired by her son, Benjamin, nine, who is on the autistic spectrum. ... Each 30-minute episode, which will be loosely based on a letter of the alphabet, will include animated segments, drawn by Ms Merrick herself, a 'brilliant friend of the day' and film clips showing Benjamin and a group of his friends going on adventures. Most of the music will be produced by Ms Merrick’s band, Rhonda and the Great Unknown."

     The article notes: "Rhonda Merrick, pictured above, was inspired to write The Brilliant Book by her nine-year-old son Benjamin who is autistic. Each half-hour episode is based around a different letter of the alphabet and follows Benjamin and his friends on an adventure. The series is scheduled to begin on the Community Channel on November 2 at 7.30am and will repeat later that day at 2.30pm.

Rhonda, who teaches music at the Canterbury Academy, was inspired to write The Brilliant Book by her son Benjamin, nine, who has autism. Each half-hour episode is based around a different letter of the alphabet and the series is designed to encourage children to discover the joy of reading."

Rhonda and The Great Unknown plan to release a track per week in the run up to lead singer Rhonda Merrick’s 50th birthday. ... She also delivered artwork for children’s television show The Brilliant Book which was shown on free-to-air network The Community Channel last year."

  There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow The Brilliant Book to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  Do you actually check these results? Why is number 5 entitled "Heating cost can be eased"? This doesn't give me much confidence in the reliability of Factiva. Orange sticker (talk) 14:26, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

• Keep. RS have now been provided. Cortador (talk) 09:32, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
• Delete as the sources provided by Cunard (talk · contribs) are all paywalled except for one, we can't establish if they are independent of the subject but they do seem like human interest stories about/interviews with the creator or WP:ROTM coverage about a programme that was aired on a local Freeview channel. None of the sources discuss the programme on its merits as all but one of them are written before the show was aired and are online-only, local websites. The single source that confirms the show was actually aired (6 in Cunard's list) is a passing mention. Orange sticker (talk) 14:46, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

  Whether or not the show air isn't relevant for notability. Cortador (talk) 09:02, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

  It had zero cultural impact. The only coverage is about the creation process and that has only been published because it was of local interest. I suspect source 1 in Cunard's list is a press release. Orange sticker (talk) 09:06, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Has been in CAT:NN since 2010. Searching in both English and Japanese turned up minimal sourcing at best: a couple directory listings, unreliable-looking blogs, and social media posts. Japanese Wikipedia's article isn't much better, with one inaccessible source, one that doesn't mention the show at all, and one about a pachinko machine. I admit I can't read Japanese and am relying on machine translation, but when the second hit on GNews is an Instagram post, I'm inclined to believe this work is not notable.

Perfunctory article for yet another Simpsons episode that entirely fails to establish notability. The vast majority of the anemic list of citations are Twitter posts (thinly veiled advertisements, really) and the rest are reviews from the usual TV-episode-review-mills that have reviewed all 5000 of the Simpsons episodes and will continue to do so until the heat death of the universe. Mere existence is insufficient to establish notability and this episode is mediocre even by The Simpsons standards. TPI81AF (talk) 20:47, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

• Keep Whilst some of the sources are not the best, I disagree that all the sources are simply recaps as they do have commentary and discuss the episode beyond the plot. Particularly this source which discusses the episode in depth and compares it to the general Simpsons series and its direction and has a lot of commentary on it.

I propose merging to Azrael (DC Comics) because while the character has had multiple codenames, he is mostly known for serving as Azrael for the majority of his history and a well known but brief stint as Batman. He's also the primary Azrael in DC continuity. It makes sense to consolidate his information onto that page and cite the Michael Lane as a alternate version given he isn't as notable but signficant enough.

  I wrote a lot of the present information so I feel it can be condensed. Also, essentually, the merging would make the Jean-Paul Valley page the Azrael page with some difference like possibly merging Michael Lane's page into a section of the Azrael page or a mentioning that directs to his main page. My rationale is it doesn't make sense to have JPV have a seperate page if he is the primary Azrael thus far. CosmicMordecai (talk) 06:12, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
