The subject is not discussed outside of G. I. Joe publications except for a few mere mentions. Efforts to redirect this have failed. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:42, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to G.I. Joe Team, which from the page history, I see had been attempted prior to this AFD. The current article is completely made up of in-universe plot information, with the only sources being used being issues of comic books. And searches show that this is not a topic that could actually be expanded to anything beyond that. Outside of obviously unreliable sources, I'm only finding the most trivial mentions of The Pit that do nothing more than confirm that yes, it was the name of the Joe's headquarters in some of the continuities. It is in no way close to being notable enough for an independent article. Rorshacma (talk) 16:42, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Cool toy, not notable outside of the context of G.I. Joe though. Leaning delete because this has already been redirected and reverted 3 times so I doubt a redirection would stick. StreetcarEnjoyer (talk) 21:43, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am the one who redirected all those G.I. Joe articles. Yes, I did get blocked for it, but it was because most of them have the same problem as The Pit. 2605:B40:13E7:F600:949F:C33D:7BD5:A7CC (talk) 21:25, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep if more sources are found, otherwise I am fine with a merge to G.I. Joe Team. BOZ (talk) 07:00, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
