PROD contested without unstated reason. Notability issues still apply regardless, especially given that the only source is to the associated comic book. FoxyGrampa75 (talk) 19:59, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

• Maybe merge to Darkseid. Similar to the likes of Heralds of Galactus but not delete due to potential. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 22:08, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
• Keep The topic passes the WP:GNG. It doesn't appear that any effort has been made to search for sources as I had no difficluty finding a good one. WP:NEXIST and WP:PRESERVE therefore apply. Andrew D. (talk) 22:19, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
• Redirect to Darkseid. Nothing of value to merge. No real world notability. Fails WP:GNG.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 00:01, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
• Delete - Despite the above assertion, both citations in the article are completely useless, so any claim of meeting GNG is nonsense. TTN (talk) 01:59, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
• Redirect to List_of_New_Gods#Inhabitants_of_Apokolips. This is not a "team" in any real sense of the word, this is just an alternate title for the most important New Gods of Apokolips. Their "membership" is already covered in the list of New Gods, and as there are no third party sources that give any sort of real-world notability to this group, this article is just a needless split from the already existing list. Rorshacma (talk) 17:13, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
• Keep due to useful citations in the article. Clearly meets GNG. --24.101.156.239 (talk) 19:00, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

• Redirect to List of New Gods - same info already included there. No evidence of separate notability. --Killer Moff- ill advisedly sticking his nose in since 2011 (talk) 16:43, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
• Redirect per above. The source added by Andrew confirms existence, which is not enough to satisfy GNG. The "other media" appearances are written in a way that makes me think the name isn't actually used in any of the items listed. When incoming links from templates are discounted, the article is linked from 18 non-list articles. Many of these are namedrops or table entries, but 18 is high enough to indicate it as a viable search term. Argento Surfer (talk) 17:00, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
• Redirect, as a gesture of divine mercy, to List of New Gods. Defenestrate the current text, of course, since it is uncontaminated by any sort of verifiable notability. -The Gnome (talk) 21:21, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
