While this subject probably passes WP:LISTN, this page is in such a poor state that it probably can't be salvaged without nuking it and starting over. It only cites one source (which is an unreliable WP:VALNET source) and it seems to indiscriminately list characters with no semblance of objective inclusion criteria (by what criteria can Aslan and Diddy Kong be considered "superheroes"??). If this subject is to have an article, it really should be written from scratch later down the line because this page is currently entirely original research.

Delete per nom as WP:IINFO. A lot of these are just animal characters, with no rhyme or reason. If I had to guess, some people are treating talking animals in fiction as a type of superpower? Most of these entries are unverified and there is nothing to WP:PRESERVE. Shooterwalker (talk) 13:35, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I actually attempted cleaning this up some after the previous no-consensus AFD back in 2019 by removing a lot of the ones that were either completely non-notable examples (i.e., one shot characters that appeared in a single episode of a series or examples from completely non-notable franchises) or were not in any conceivable way a "Super Hero". I even tried to start a conversation on the Talk page to get further feedback and help in cleaning up, which no one ever replied to. And looking at it now, its in even worse shape and more of a complete WP:INDISCRIMINATE mess than it was then, and can't even stick to even a remotely coherent inclusion criteria.
