Non-notable article about a location composed of unreliable or primary sources. For WP:Before, a search showed only trivial mentions and in-universe plot summaries, without significant coverage or reception. Jontesta (talk) 18:45, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Move to New Genesis (DC Comics) (as there is a song with that name) and then redirect to New Gods. No indication of notability. Not sure if the song is notable either, but it doesn't seem like a primary topic. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:08, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I guess you are also wanting to establish a disambiguation page if that is done. As I don't recall any other New Genesis in comics, care to elaborate on why you want it called "New Genesis (DC Comics)" instead of "New Genesis (comics)"? --Rtkat3 (talk) 23:16, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to New Gods or keep. A Google Scholar search gives many hits, and more concretely there are a number of secondary sources which talk about New Genesis in the context of real-world religious inspirations, like The Gospel According to Superheroes, Theology and the DC Universe and Superheroes of the Round Table, which on p. 77 also talks about the literary consequences of the concept of New Genesis. So I cannot follow how the conclusion only trivial mentions and in-universe plot summaries was reached. I am convinced the secondary sources easily provide enough material to write a full encyclopedic article. Much of the analysis on New Genesis seems to be in contrasting to Apokolips, though, so possibly a treatment within the New Gods article might be best - purely on the basis of a WP:NOPAGE decision rather than notability. Not sure about the primary topic here, but no objection against a move to New Genesis (comics). Daranios (talk) 15:00, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to New Gods per WP:ATD. WP:SIGCOV is borderline, but there are fragments to WP:PRESERVE as part of a more notable topic. Shooterwalker (talk) 01:21, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with New Gods: per WP:ATD and Shooterwalker's reasoning. If there was more coverage I would have loved to keep this, it's a really unique article. Sir MemeGod  19:16, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
