No indication of standalone notability at all. Reads like a FANDOM page, fails WP:GNG miserably. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:49, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of DC Comics characters: W or keep: This article obviously needs a lot of improvement, but there are at least two web articles dedicated to the character, one by inverse.com and one by comicbook.com. There are also a number of brief comments in web news sources and books like The Superhero Book p. 71 or The Supervillain Book. Daranios (talk) 11:23, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge with List of DC Comics characters: W. I also agree with @Daranios: on his claim. --Rtkat3 (talk) 15:55, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – I agree that the article needs a bit of work but the sources provided about show notability and SIGCOV. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 21:08, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of DC Comics Characters: W. The sources provided by Daranios do not illustrate SIGCOV. The two books and Comicbook article are just recaps on Weeper's comic role, and while the Inverse contains a pittance of commentary, one article is not enough to support a whole Wikipedia article. There might be physical sources that can help, but unless those come up, there doesn't seem to be enough coverage for this guy. Has one ever considered Magneton?

Merge per Pokelego999. I don't think there is enough coverage to pass WP:SIGCOV, but there is something small to WP:PRESERVE elsewhere. Shooterwalker (talk) 05:17, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
