Long article, nearly a hundred footnotes - but it's 100% plot summary (there is not only no reception/analysis, but there is no usual list of appearances or out-of-universe design/creation history). My BEFORE failed to find anything else. As such, WP:GNG seems non-existent. Not sure where this could redirect (DC universe does not seem to have the equivalent of Features of the Marvel Universe...). PS. Prior AfD from 2011 had an editor list 6 seemingly good sources, but they were debunked as SIGCOV-failing/irrelevant/just plot summaries by another editor. That said, I looked at the first one, and there are tidbits that might be useful. This has non-zero potential, but right now we are lookign at the WP:TNT case, since what we have is 100% plot summary and 0% of non-WP:FANCRUFT content :( _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:50, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. WP:GNG isn't met here. I do see some WP:TRIVIALMENTIONs and non-independent sources that are affiliated with the publisher/authors, and maybe those could be cited in another proper article. Green Lantern Corps might be a good redirect target, per WP:ATD-R. Shooterwalker (talk) 18:25, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge selectively and redirect to Green Lantern Corps as WP:ATD. I don't have time for search myself, so please ping me if secondary sources should be found after all. The target is one of the few cases of a fictional topic which in my view could actually use more plot summary, so a few bits from here might be warranted. But at least the one sentence base on The Science of Superheroes as a secondary source should be merged over. This is certainly a topic at least deserving a redirect (with possiblities).

Merge to Green Lantern Corps for now. Since the Green Lantern Corps, other Corps were later formed and wielded similar power rings. As there is no Features of the DC Universe page yet and no other sources have been found, we can have the page redirected there until we can find another worthy redirect to cover all the known power rings. --Rtkat3 (talk) 19:34, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
