Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DoubleDuck

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Donald Duck in comics. There was a firmer consensus that there is not a justification for an independent article than for what the outcome should be. Rather than relist I have chosen a redirect target that gained some agreement. Other editors may, using our normal processes, change this redirect target and/or choose to merge any applicable information into other articles.

Italian-only Disney storyline. I prodded this wih "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. ". PROD was removed by User:Donaldd23 with no comment outside a request for AfD. Here we go, then. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:59, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ - It actually isn't purely Italian only (I actually own the couple of English translated books that were published in the US by Boom! Studios), but its still lacking the sources needed to pass the WP:GNG. Even the Italian language sources I've found are just standard previews of upcoming issues, and nothing in the way of reviews or discussion. I feel like this could be redirected somewhere, but none of the potential targets I've looked at, such as Topolino (the magazine its published in) and Donald Duck in comics, mention it, and as this article is completely unsourced, merging would not be appropriate.

A brief mention and redirect to Donald Duck pocket books, perhaps? That article mentions this series in passing in one sentence, so the redirect would be valid. Soft delete should also preserve the interwikis on the redirect. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:23, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Rorshacma: It is no longer completely unsourced now. For what it's worth, I've seen that DoubleDuck is mentioned both at Donald Duck (American comic book)#Boom! Studios and Donald Duck#Italy. Daranios (talk) 20:17, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I have no problems with a Redirect/Merge if a proper target has been found. Rorshacma (talk) 00:10, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect with Donald Duck in comics and/or Donald Duck pocket books. Indeed I think short mentions there would be appropriate. DoubleDuck also exists in Germany, and indeed is featured in the de:Agent DoppelDuck article section, unfortunately only with one source by the publisher (I think), here, but which could be used for verification. The character is mentioned in a number of sources, but not very substantially: [1], [2], [3]. This has a bit of commentary, but mostly about ~~a specific story~~ two specific stories. This could be relevant, as the title says DoubleDuck is a main topic, but is paywalled. Daranios (talk) 21:23, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
