467:. The list goes on, but I am trusting I've made my point. Unlike many Earth-Two heroes, Robin wasn't retconned out of existence. "Indeed, in Justice Society of America #20, (December 2008), Starman explains that during the re-expansion of the DC Multiverse, Earth-2 was reborn "... along with everyone on it", including Robin." Therefore, the redirect minimalizes a character that is remains distinctly relevant and viable as a self-standing article. -

I have already addressed how a personal belief that an article is "of poor quality", etc. seems to be more a problem of lazy preference as opposed to actually rollingup one's sleeves to actually fix the articles in question. The fact of the matter is, the compared articles exist, have good sourcing

However, i see no discussion of the redirect here, which is pretty much where it, or at the very least, a link to where that discussion took place. The article, prior to being redirected, seemed a well-developed article on its own. Why the redirect? I won't cut the redirect again, in anticipation of

Because of this perception, I think that the somewhat obfuscatingly-linked issues of notability and PLOT should be deeply discounted as reasoning. The argument of primary sourcing is entirely valid, but it should be noted that many of the current comic book articles in the wiki use a great deal of

508:
I will concede that - because the personas using the alias are different than their Earth-One counterparts - that the inclusion of those may not be fair. However, the fact that the
Superman Earth-Two article needs clean-up doesn't neutralize my point, Hiding; especially when we also have the

I disagree with the assertion that "It's a minor variation of the character that has little in-story material to work with and just about as much real world context", JGreb. The article itself has almost two dozen references, and speaks primarily of the divergent, Earth-Two Robin. If we are
