Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2020 December 14. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 09:49, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Extremely minor fictional character that appeared in a single issue of a comic book. I can not find a single reliable source giving any kind of coverage. WP:PRESERVE would not apply here as there is absolutely no sourced content to preserve. Rorshacma (talk) 21:27, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect / brief merge - I'm surprised to find that this hasn't come up more often, but there is a WP:PASSINGMENTION here and here. Both say the same thing in a few words: "Magneto in 1963 was a mutant, and would have a Jack Kirby / Stan Lee precusor in Strange Tales #84 (1961) about a monster with magnetic powers, also named Magneto." And "He was not the first Marvel character to be called Magneto. Hunk Larken devbuted as the metal-controlling Magneto two years before the Master of Magnetism. When the X-Men's nemesis became popular, Hunk Larken's name was changed to Magnetor." This is too brief to write a notable stand-alone article, but it meets our standards of verifiability, and has a significant enough role to be mentioned somewhere.

Redirect per above.★Trekker (talk) 19:29, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: No evidence this passes WP:NFICTION/GNG. No objection to a redirect somewhere the character is mentioned. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:41, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
