Fails WP:GNG. A Before reveals no reliable sources, so nothing to merge. Term is generic, so a redirect would be ineffective. Killer Moff- ill advisedly sticking his nose in since 2011 (talk) 08:36, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

• Merge or redirect to List of Marvel Comics teams and organizations per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE. BOZ (talk) 11:55, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
• Delete or redirect. This fails WP:GNG, and it honestly seems so trivial that it doesn't even deserve mention on Wikipedia. TTN (talk) 12:42, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
• Merge/redirect per above. Appears to be a minor crew that Marvel tried, without any lasting significance. No evidence of notability or outside coverage. The topic should be mentioned at an appropriate target, though, and List of Marvel Comics teams and organizations seems good per BOZ. My concern is that the target is -literally- just a list, though, without any detail on a majority of the entries. Red Skull could be another viable target for a merge, but I'll leave that to the comics editors. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia ^talk 13:59, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
• Delete - Extremely minor villain team, without a single reliable, secondary source discussing them. Merging should not be done, as there is no sourced information to merge. As I have said in other AFDs, the various lists of comic related characters & teams still need to be comprised of reliably sourced information - they can't just be a dumping ground for unsourced information on subjects that warranted deletion on their own.

• {{tq|they can't just be a dumping ground for unsourced information on subjects that warranted deletion on their own}} Sure they can - "Marvel characters" is a notable subject, and having a centralized list of characters who are notable within the fiction prevents content forks. You're also conflating "unsourced" with "only primary sources". Argento Surfer (talk) 13:42, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
• Delete - very minor team, even within the fiction. Anyone knowledgeable enough to search the term can find information on it without the help of a redirect. If consensus is to redirect, I think Crossbones (character) would be the best target, as it actually has material on the team. Red Skull lists them as a team affiliation in the infobox and nothing else. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:39, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
• Keep or Merge with the S section of List of Marvel Comics teams and organizations per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE. If any character redirect to the page, I ask that they have their links transferred to their respectful List of Marvel Comics characters pages. --Rtkat3 (talk) 18:07, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
• Redirect to List of Marvel Comics teams and organizations where it is mentioned. Possibly merge the lead or something, although lack of references make me disinclined to do this fancruft copy-paste myself. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:40, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
