Contested PROD. The subject of the article, two minor fictional villains from a comic book, does not have significant coverage in reliable secondary sources independent of the subject, so the subject does not meet the general notability guideline to deserve a stand-alone article. Also, the content of the article consists of a plot-only description of a fictional work and there is no evidence to suggest that it can be anything other than that. The article doesn't provide a single reliable secondary source to back up the content, only primary sources and unreliable websites. With no evidence that the fictional characters have reception and significance in the real world, or significant coverage in reliable sources, the article should be deleted.

  • Both versions are covered in 500 Comic Book Villians by Mike Conroy (p.243).SPNic (talk) 22:09, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or merge to list of DC comics characters. The villains are still minor and lack that significant coverage to meet the general notability guideline. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:37, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong keep. Take a look at that list article. It's just that - a list. It doesn't include the kind of information that appears in the Hyena article, and that article presents a good amount of information that would have no place else to go. Doczilla _STOMP! 07:46, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
