PROD rationale was "Non-notable character article with little to no chance of being sourced." But I'm taking this to AFD for input on a merge or redirect. FoxyGrampa75 (talk) 00:12, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete current title, as too generic to be worthwhile. If Anthony (Raj Comics) were to be created, merge to Raj Comics--Killer Moff- ill advisedly sticking his nose in since 2011 (talk) 12:25, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• User:Killer Moff Are there any other comic character named Anthony ? Why are you sggesting an unnecessary disambiguation by adding Raj to comics ? --DBigXrayᗙ 13:27, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Off the top of my head, Anthony Ludgate (Doctor Druid) is the first springing to mind. I can't think of any other mononyms, but I wasn't aware of this one until the AfD and don't think it's notable. --Killer Moff- ill advisedly sticking his nose in since 2011 (talk) 13:45, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the kind reply User:Killer Moff. It is understandable that you have not heard about this considering that it is an Indian comics published in Hindi language. The sourcing issues are due to WP:BIAS (language bias and internet bias). I am still pondering over the notability and will decide and comment later. --DBigXrayᗙ 14:58, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment – All relevant details of this character are covered on the two pages of the following academic source:

Kaur, Raminder; Eqbal, Saif (2018). Adventure Comics and Youth Cultures in India. Routledge. pp. 109–110. ISBN 978-1138358683. Retrieved 4 September 2019.

It is also briefly covered in this/this article of the author and journalist Naresh Fernandes. But its main coverage must be in Hindi language media of 1990s and 2000s, which is mostly offline. - NitinMlk (talk) 21:21, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. WP:INDIA contributor here. The sources produced by NitinMlk are enough to convince me to keep as passing WP:GNG. I agree that more sources can be found in Hindi offline media. --DBigXrayᗙ 17:32, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep assuming that the above references are incorporated into the article. Clearly there is some notability demonstrated, but the article should reflect that to be kept. It's important to remember that other cultural/language fiction can have something as notable as a Rick Jones out there for example. (Proper disambiguation is something else entirely that can be solved with a simple move if needed.) -2pou (talk) 08:13, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have now added these refs to the article. The rename discussion if needed should happen at the article talk page and not on AfD. --DBigXrayᗙ 09:45, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Passes WP:GNG based on the sources provided by NitinMlk.4meter4 (talk) 16:33, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
