Judge Dredd's storyline, a lenghty plot summary with no reception, effectively unreferenced (two footnotes - to a Facebook post and a blog). I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) supplementary essay. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar." It was deprodded by User:Necrothesp with the following rationale " I think this needs to go to AfD" which IMHO is not a helpful rationale, but - let's discuss.

- Delete WP:BEFORE didn't bring anything up for this one either. Only unreliable sources at present. I could also be talked into a redirect or merge if someone finds even some minor reliable sources. Shooterwalker (talk) 04:04, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

It was deprodded by User:Necrothesp with the following rationale "I think this needs to go to AfD" which IMHO is not a helpful rationale...
As you very well know, a prodded article can be deprodded by anyone for any reason or none. As you also very well know (or should do), prodding should not be used as an attempt to get around AfD and should never be used if opposition could be reasonably foreseen. I do not consider that this is an article that should simply be deleted without discussion. Prodding is becoming worryingly common on articles for which deletion could clearly be controversial. To reiterate, prodding is for uncontroversial deletion only. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:13, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
