Non-notable article about a location composed of unreliable or primary sources. For WP:Before, a search showed only trivial mentions and in-universe plot summaries, without significant coverage or reception. Jontesta (talk) 18:44, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Secret Wars as the primary target for this fictional location, where adequate information is already covered. While arguments in the prior AfD from over a decade ago bringing up Battelworld's appearances in other related comics, I would argue that those have not received as much independent third-party coverage from reliable sources outside of its connections to the Secret Wars comics. Redirecting to the original Secret Wars comic instead of the 2015 one makes sense as the former also points to the latter comic with a dedicated section for it. I will also note that the Battleworld article has not improved much from the prior AfD and borders on pure WP:FANCRUFT, especially with its exhaustive list, as this is WP:NOTADIRECTORY. The other contents of Battleworld beyond Secret Wars can be adequately covered at those other comic articles, such as Beyond!, as brought up in the prior AfD.

- Comment - As the first and third Battleworlds have known locations, would you prefer that they be listed in the respectful Secret Wars articles? --Rtkat3 (talk) 22:34, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Yes, that would be the most optimal location for the relevant versions of this, although the main Battleworld stems from the original comic. Trailblazer101 (talk) 23:27, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with the planets section of Features of the Marvel Universe if no worthy sources can be found by the day of this AFD closure.--Rtkat3 (talk) 22:34, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would argue merging a lot of content to that list would be a bit much for it, and it would be morel logical to point directly to a comic where it is an important aspect rather than shoehorning it into a list entry, which can be limiting. That entry should likely summarize the different versions from the various comics and point to those for more details. Trailblazer101 (talk) 23:29, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't you say in the last article that the respectful Battleworld descriptions would be listed in their respectful storyline appearances? Of course we can add the good parts of the Battleworld descriptions to it. --Rtkat3 (talk) 15:12, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I did. However, the main topic would be the Secret Wars comic, not the Features list, from my understanding. Trailblazer101 (talk) 15:29, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Secret Wars as primary target, per WP:ATD. It can be additionally noted at Features of the Marvel Universe. Shooterwalker (talk) 02:16, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
