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 Features of the Marvel Cinematic Universe#Spider-Man suit. I am selecting the redirect target that has the most support; this does not preclude later retargeting. There is clear consensus that a standalone article isn't appropriate. Vanamonde93 (talk) 02:22, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fictional... exoskeleton? Really? Sigh. Well, it's probably just a badly written lead. Realistically, this is a fictional character (per WP:DUCK :P). Regardless, it seems like a niche comic book non-notable character; the article is the usual plot summary+list of appearances, with no reception/analysis. My BEFORE fails to find anything. Assuming we agree this is a character, it should be merged to list of Marvel Universe characters; otherwise, probably to Features of the Marvel Universe (since we don't have Technology of the Marvel Universe article). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 14:51, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per nom. Given Iron Spider isn't a "character" per se, I feel it's likely better redirected to a primary topic. The two best options are likely Peter Parker (Marvel Cinematic Universe), who uses a variant of the armor extensively, or to Ultimate Spider-Man (TV series), where the Iron Spider is the identity used by one of the main characters. I have no preference to either, since both are solid targets. Alternatively, it can be mentioned at Alternative versions of Spider-Man, since this is technically an alternate version. I have no preference, but I'll let further consensus decide what is best. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:39, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per Pokelego999. There isn't WP:SIGCOV for this as a separate character (because it isn't). I am neutral on the redirect target (but Spider-Man is as good as any). Shooterwalker (talk) 17:25, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge to List of Marvel Comics characters: I in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. --Rtkat3 (talk) 20:26, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Redirect. I think the best target is Features_of_the_Marvel_Cinematic_Universe#Spider-Man_suit where this should be covered explicitly, but there are other possibilities potentially. Eluchil404 (talk) 01:11, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
