Fails to meet either criteria of WP:NFILMCHAR. If not deleted, I think this article can also be merged to the "Film" section of Bane in other media. WuTang94 (talk) 03:27, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Bane in other media. There just isn't enough here to justify a separate article here. Pokelego999 (talk) 15:20, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep, meets GNG as detailed above (and hopefully below). As to character importance in Wikipedia's Batman collection, please note that Bane is the only villain to defeat Batman, and (Gasp! Holy hotcakes Batman!) that Bane killed Alfred! As for merge (another name for 'delete') also note List of Batman family enemies for a summary. My point of many Wikipedians running out of things to do may apply here, AfD should close down for most of the year, way too many daily nominations and way too many of them like this one.

    We're not saying that Bane isn't notable, as he most certainly is. We're saying that this specific incarnation of Bane by himself is not. Whatever is covered here can easily be covered by Bane in other media. Pokelego999 (talk) 01:46, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Wait, above you said There just isn't enough here to justify a separate article here. which means he's non-notable. If he's notable, there's enough for an article--that's the definition of notable. So which is it? Jclemens (talk) 22:15, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I feel there is some confusion going on here - this is not an AFD for Bane (DC Comics), this is an AFD for the specific version of Bane that only ever appeared in Batman & Robin (film).Rorshacma (talk) 17:04, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Bane, the character, is notable. Bane, from Batman & Robin, is not individually notable from the original Bane character. Bane is a character who is notable, but this incarnation has only appeared in one film and doesn't appear to be individually notable enough to warrant a separate article from the original character. I hope that makes sense, because I understand the confusion with the phrasing here. Pokelego999 (talk) 21:22, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete. The NYT article is about the film, and it doesn't even cite the character. This iteration of Bane is not so notable to have a separate page. Redjedi23 (talk) 17:14, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Bane in other media per others, though I'm not exactly convinced that article in itself is notable either. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:42, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge or delete as redundant to the main character article. Not separately notable in how it's treated by sources. Shooterwalker (talk) 04:42, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Merging to Bane in other media is just a fool's errand since there is currently a major tendency to delete "in other media" articles for characters, much like "move to draft space" it seems to be an option that is just a delayed deletion.★Trekker (talk) 17:56, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    How is this iteration of the character so notable to justify a separate page? Redjedi23 (talk) 11:33, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong merge Nothing in either searching this character or the article itself shows that this version of Bane is notable enough for his own article. Unnamed anon (talk) 23:34, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Bane in other media for now, though honestly, that page itself should be trimmed and merged back to the main Bane (DC Comics). There are no sources that actually show that the particular version that made the singular appearance in Batman and Robin passes the WP:GNG. Of the two sources already in the article that are being cited above as demonstrating notability, the NYT source appears to simply be a review of the movie as a whole, and the MSN article is nothing but a reposting of a ScreenRant article that, itself, is just summarizing an article posted on the official DC Comics website. Searches do not turn up any additional significant coverage in reliable sources that would indicate any kind of notability for this specific version of the character. This version is already included in the target list, and there really is not anything here that would need to be merged over.Rorshacma (talk) 16:58, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect to Bane (DC Comics). I have concerns that Bane in other media is not notable topic in itself and will follow suit eventually. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:16, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
