Most if not all of the reception section is made up of WP:TRIVIAL quotes from articles not directly about the character, with some being extremely tangentially related. Does not seem like a character notable enough for a standalone article, fails WP:GNG. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:46, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Punch-Out!! characters#Super Macho Man (the previous redirect target) or, alternatively, merge to Punch-Out!!#Characters (the related section of the series article). The character is covered in the given sources as an ensemble character and should be covered on Wikipedia as such. czar 18:08, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Punch-Out!! characters#Super Macho Man per Czar. Rorshacma (talk) 23:33, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect: After some searching around on Google, this is all I could really find. Everything in the article right now appear to have sources that are all passing mentions, and per GNG, at the bare minimum, we need two sources of significant coverage on the character. With that said, I would like to note that I have no prejudice towards restoring the article should someone find more sources that actually discusses the character beyond passing mentions. But until then, this can be redirected to List of Punch-Out!! characters#Super Macho Man. MoonJet (talk) 02:08, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge back to List of Punch-Out!! characters#Super Macho Man per rationales provided by other participating editors. Not sure why this needed to go to AfD when a bold merge, or if disputed, a merge proposal would have sufficed since everyone seem to agree that the character is discussed by reliable sources in some detail. PS: Would have been nice if this AfD happened before I took the trouble to upload a picture for a NPP-approved article that looked like it needed one. Haleth (talk) 04:22, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This was boldly merged several times already, looking at the article history, so I can get behind this being taken to AFD. As far as I can tell, there were no prior AFD or merge discussions on any talk pages for this character. MoonJet (talk) 05:26, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
