*:You can’t just make a list of any random crap and say it’s “navigational”. The other day I was looking for the name of an anime girl with a headband, that doesn’t mean I want or need a Wikipedia list of anime girls by headwear.

*'''Delete''' - the majority of the characters listed have little connection to one another. Grouping them together serves no purpose that I can see. [[User:Argento Surfer|Argento Surfer]] ([[User talk:Argento Surfer|talk]]) 12:50, 28 June 2022 (UTC) |

Wall of fancruft with no actual sources whatsoever. Dronebogus (talk) 09:19, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Fictional elements, Comics and animation, and Lists. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 09:22, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. WP:FANCRUFT, listcruft variety. No evidence this meets WP:LISTN. Previous AfD ended at no consensus due to argumentsts that it contains blue-linked entities, but I am not sure what policy that argument is based on. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:42, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- Something dream focus made up that doesn’t actually exist, I presume. Dronebogus (talk) 14:12, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- Delete - Aside from the reasons already brought up in the above discussions, there also seems to be quite a bit of WP:OR here, as there are a number of characters/sections/etc. that are listed here with no actual reliable sources supporting why they would all be grouped together. The number of blue links is also not a very good argument for Keeping as many of them were just circular links that led right back to this page (I think I removed all of those at this point). Even among the remaining ones, many of them are just links to other lists of Marvel characters or links to articles where they are not the main topic and barely mentioned. There are a few of the typical click-bait "TOP TEN STRONGEST MARVEL DEMONS" type "articles" out there, which I'm sure someone will bring up as evidence that this passes WP:LISTN, but I will preemptively argue that they do not, as they merely cover a small handful of these characters with a couple sentences of entirely in-universe plot information.

- Keep I have removed the original research problems and mentions of any demon which didn't have their own article or significant mention in another article. This navigational list is more useful than Category:Marvel Comics demons since it allows for additional information to be found, helping readers find what they might be interested in reading. Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates and WP:LISTPURP are relevant here. Dream Focus 16:59, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Dream Focus I can somewhat see how this made sense for the list of fictional deities, which is a big concept. But this is b/c I also believe we can have an article for fictional deity, a concept. Whereas I have trouble finding Marvel Comic demon a notable concept. More to a point, what's the rationale for us even having the category Category:Marvel Comics demons?
