Kraken in comics

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Appears to be primarily WP:OR or WP:PRIMARY and trivia. Kraken in popular culture can easily suffice for any significant mentions in pop culture, including comics. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 04:39, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Kraken in popular culture. Ordinarily I'd say this is a spinout that doesn't need to exist, but this one is one of the very rare occasions where the spinout is less crufty (though still very crufty) and better sourced than the merge target. Reyk _YO! 08:18, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This article used to be two different ones merged together into a patchwork of random stuff. I say we revert them back to their previous incarnations that used the Marvel/DC devide. I do not at all support deleting all it's edit history and content (too interesting, great example of how an article can go wrong in development), but a redirect to Kraken in popular culture would be fine.★Trekker (talk) 10:04, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Kraken in popular culture. Not big enough to warrant being separate from all the other media types. Argento Surfer (talk) 21:02, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I agree the article should be split into two separate articles covering both comic companies (as how it was originally conceived). I think there is too much information written on it to simply be condensed into a small section on a separate page (Kraken in Popular Culture). It should also be noted that this article was nominated twice for deletion in the past and both times it passed. How many times can an article be nominated for deletion?Giantdevilfish (talk) 16:01, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
