Non-notable concept that does not have WP:SIGCOV based on a WP:BEFORE search where this is barely mentioned. Jontesta (talk) 02:12, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Nova Corps - Its only notability is being the home world of the Nova Corp, and all of the essential information on the planet is already covered at that article. Per WP:NOPAGE the two topics should very obviously be covered under the same topic rather than being split out into two redundant articles. Rorshacma (talk) 05:01, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the planets section of Features of the Marvel Universe. It would be better off being redirected there. --Rtkat3 (talk) 20:10, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per RtKat3. I agree that is the best redirect option as the article does not seem to pass GNG. Rhino131 (talk) 13:23, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep after the sourcing improvements made today, as I believe this topic now meets the GNG. BOZ (talk) 19:46, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The vast majority of the added sources are extremely trivial (lots of sources that consist of a couple of sentences, and even some one word mentions), are largely from content farms, and many are simply plot recaps of the movies/TV series it appeared in. The most extensive sources added are on the Disney World attraction and the merch you can buy there, not the actual fictional location in the comics. So, I am not convinced at all that any of the multitude of added sources come close to actually consisting of enough significant coverage in reliable sources that would pass the WP:GNG. And it still would not address the WP:NOPAGE concern I brought up above, that the planet has no reason to be covered separately from the actual Nova Corp - even the added sources, poor as they are, are talking about the Nova Corp as essentially the same topic.

Redirect per all. The sources are mostly WP:TRIVIALMENTIONs and don't meet the GNG. If need be, editors can perform a very selective merge at Nova Corps. (Features of the Marvel Universe is fine too. Or even both.) Shooterwalker (talk) 15:40, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect or selectively merge as suggested. The sources are in passing, original research, or not reliable. Bearian (talk) 02:22, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
