A middling rank on one top 100 list is not enough for notability. There's also a random link to some dude's let's play... as a source??? Additionally, we already have a hobgoblin article, (which, to be fair, probably isn't great either), so this is entirely unnecessary. Industrial Insect (talk) 12:05, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or merge with List of Marvel Comics characters: R in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. I'd suggest the Hobgoblin page, but Kingsley has also operated as Devil-Spider at some point. --Rtkat3 (talk) 20:17, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Who the heck is Devil-Spider? And why does his existence mean this article needs to exist? Industrial Insect (talk) 03:32, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • This was a costumed alias that Roderick Kingsley operated when he was in Ecuador as seen in Amazing Spider-Man #691. He also sold this costume to an unnamed criminal when putting together the different franchises that are mentioned in the article. --Rtkat3 (talk) 02:25, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Hobgoblin. Agree that the individual aliases of Hobgoblin are not likely to be notable on their own. Yes he also used to alias Devil-Spider, but he is far more well-known as Hobgoblin. Rhino131 (talk) 13:28, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
