This particular comic book villain lacks significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject and all of the sources currently present in the article are plot. All I could find in a before was #9 in a listicle with one paragraph of non-plot commentary, but other than that, it's just brief mentions and user-generated wikis. The fact that it was created by an autopatrolled user in outright violation of a Wikipedia content guideline (whose rights have since then been revoked) doesn't help matters. ミラ P 01:02, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, the article is sourced entirely to primary sources, and fails WP:GNG and WP:PLOT. The name of the character is too generic for it to be a redirect. Devonian Wombat (talk) 21:41, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with List of Spider-Man enemies#The Amazing Spider-Man debuts. --Rtkat3 (talk) 03:27, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Wombat. No evidence of passing WP:GNG found, and agree that term is generic. Also, character first appeared in a mini-series, not the main Amazing title. No evidence found to say character is worth including in a list without making it WP:INDISCRIMINATE. --Killer Moff- ill advisedly sticking his nose in since 2011 (talk) 16:04, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
