The result was merge‎ to S.H.I.E.L.D.#S.T.A.K.E.. as the target with the slightest consensus edge. However the close is only with regard to the merger. A new target can be discussed and implemented (togetehter with the merge) as a matter of editorial discussion. Star Mississippi 16:03, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Very niche comics (Marvel) organization. Plot summary and usual listing of few (primary) works (here, comic books) this is mentioned in. BEFORE shows nothing but obscure plot summaries. Fails WP:GNG. Redirecting to List of Marvel Comics teams and organizations seems like the best solution, per WP:ATD-R? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:35, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge selectively and redirect to S.H.I.E.L.D.#S.T.A.K.E. as WP:AtD, which already has the most basic plot summary, but which could benefit at least from the S.T.A.K.E.#Publication history information.

Technical question: Doing a search for sources here is a pain. Does anyone know a way to get Google to only search for the exact spelling including the full stops? Daranios (talk) 12:03, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Daranios According to what I see, it may be impossible :( _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:06, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Piotrus: Thanks, that's what I've figured. I only now thought to search for the spelled out name, where like you I've found some plot summaries. This CBR article from before 2016 could be useful in a merge, veryifing a few things from the current article. Daranios (talk) 15:39, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge per Daranios. I agree with the nom that this fails WP:GNG, but striving for consensus and WP:ATD. Shooterwalker (talk) 18:13, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to S.H.I.E.L.D.#S.T.A.K.E. per Daranios - A pretty obscure group that does not have the sources to pass the WP:GNG, but is already covered briefly at the S.H.I.E.L.D. article, which makes it the ideal merge target as an WP:ATD. Rorshacma (talk) 21:17, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to List of Marvel Comics teams and organizations in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. --Rtkat3 (talk) 01:03, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per rationales described above. They've said all I can say on this, really. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 14:00, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
