Entirely non-notable subject with no significant coverage I could find in a BEFORE. Though there's a few subjects in the Marvel Comics lore that relate to vampires (Such as Blade (comics) and Morbius the Living Vampire, the topic of Marvel's specific incarnation of vampires is just entirely non-notable. All mentions of vampires in sources I could find are just discussing characters who happen to be vampires, like the aforementioned Morbius, and notability is not inherited from these characters. Most of the article is just overly detailed in-universe information, so I don't see much need to keep the article around, but if there's a valid merge/redirect target, I would not be against a very light merge or redirect per AtD.

Delete. "Nice" find, a major piece of WP:FANCRUFT with next to zero WP:GNG, I am afraid. I am find of saying 'redirect this somewhere', but I can't figure out what to do here. This is great stuff for fan wikia, but sadly, I can't find anything here of use for us. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:21, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom - There are plenty of sources on notable Marvel characters who are or are related to vampires (for example, the mentioned Blade and Morbius), but there is not really coverage in reliable sources on the overall concept of the "vampire" in Marvel Comics or how they are distinctively notable from general depictions of vampires in fiction. There is not a single non-primary source being used here, and so the article seems to be nothing but taking plot information from different comic stories and trying to cobble a topic together from those. At best, this could maybe be used as a redirect to Vampires in popular culture, where vampires appearing in Marvel Comics is mentioned? Rorshacma (talk) 18:46, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with the hidden races section of Features of the Marvel Universe in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE while also listing the brief information on the different vampire sects. --Rtkat3 (talk) 18:24, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per all. Doesn't pass the WP:GNG. Shooterwalker (talk) 20:47, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect per Rtkat3 to WP:PRESERVE. There must be something that can be said about vampires in the Marvel universe even if it's only a statement in the hidden races section. Archrogue (talk) 23:35, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
