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 Fortress of Solitude. I'm choosing the redirect target that nobody objected to. This does not preclude merging some content to Superman, but I will note that concerns of due weight have been raised with respect to a complete merger.

Very minor element of the Superman universe; short article, pure plot summary and list of appearances. Fails WP:GNG. No idea where this could redirect, but always open to consider redirection a viable alternative to hard deletion (closer, please note: if anyone suggests a target, consider me to support it). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:01, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reluctant delete unless a merge target can be found. There's not really a good merge target for this. Perhaps to Superman#Merchandising given the one source mentioned here mentions it was used exclusively for that purpose? But even so it'd be a brief sentence. This is an extremely minor universe element, so there's not much to be retained here. If a good merge target is found I'll change my vote to merge, so ping me if something changes.

• Keep or merge with Superman in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. We need an equipment or technology section to that page if the Supermobile going to be redirected there as we already know that Batman has a similar section on his page. --Rtkat3 (talk) 02:07, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I don't really feel another section is necessary unless Superman has a ton of technology that has discussion. Batman is discussed for a lot of his tech, and much of his tech has coverage. Superman has comparatively less. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 05:22, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The only other technology I recall him having is the Phantom Zone Projector, but it didn't have an article and was covered in the Phantom Zone page. --Rtkat3 (talk) 17:40, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  As an alternative, a section could be added to Fortress of Solitude for things located/stored there. There are more items than one might think.

  That said, I think the best solution might be to Listify Category:DC Comics vehicles (and Category:Marvel Comics vehicles). If you look at AfD right now, several vehicles are up for discussion, and creation of List of DC Comics vehicles and List of Marvel Comics vehicles would resolve most of them, I think. - jc37 22:28, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The thing is that most of these have valid redirect targets, and the topics themselves are just non-notable. Supermobile is more of an exception in terms of places we can cover it than the norm. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 19:53, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Delete - The Supermobile itself does not pass the WP:GNG, and it is such a minor piece of trivia in the Superman mythos that I feel that actually merging this to an article like the main Superman page would be giving undue coverage to it. Rorshacma (talk) 17:11, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Rorshacma. Does not meet the WP:GNG and the WP:TRIVIALMENTION isn't worth preserving. Shooterwalker (talk) 20:03, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Superman or Fortress of Solitude. There is be something that can be said about this and it is still a potential search term. Archrogue (talk) 22:57, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
