I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar." It was deprodded by User:Andrew Davidson with no meaningful rationale (despite the fact that I explicitly asked for one in the PROD). Another fictional location whose content is 100% WP:FANCRUFT (plot summary) and 0% real world significance. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:29, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Discussions of Colu appear numerous times in Comic Book Resources (seen as a reliable source on Wikipedia), it seems to be a key plot item in television show Supergirl, and also in Krypton. Coluans apparently created Brainiac (character), whose notability for Wikipedia is probably undeniable. I'm relatively new to AfD's, but my thinking is "what's the harm in keeping?" - AppleBsTime (talk) 12:56, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Seriously? The first source doesn't even mention the planet, just its inhabitants, in a single sentence: "She ended up joining the Big Brain, the hive mind of Coluans". That's a "doscussion of Colu" for you? Second source mentions the planet twice in passing purely in a plot summary fashion: "Back in Colu, Seg and Adam find the place where the ancient Coluans made Brainiac. ... While all that’s happening in Colu, something’s starting to stir up in Krypton." Double fail, and if those are the best sources out there, this is a good indicator this needs a speedy delete.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 00:33, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your tone is off-putting to me. I thought maybe you should know that, but perhaps you already knew. This project is a volunteer operation. I'm not paid to take seriously your interjection of "Seriously?" and your accusation that I have somehow "double failed" in my effort to participate in a helpful way. - AppleBsTime (talk) 15:25, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry, but I am also not paid for volunteering here, and you have just wasted my - and others - time - again. You cited bad sources. I pointed it out. End of story. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:50, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Brainiac (character) - I admittedly haven't done a source check, but I am familiar enough with the topic to know that any prominence or notability this planet may have is largely associated with that character. Dark knight 2149 04:16, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Brainiac (character) or delete. A minor location in the DC universe with no real significance outside of that character. Rhino131 (talk) 12:16, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Brainiac (character) per above. The only real notability of this fictional location is tied to the various versions of Brainiac, which should (and already is) covered in that article. A Redirect there would make sense. Rorshacma (talk) 16:48, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Brainiac (character). This place is often not even directly mentioned, just in the form "coluans", with no real discussion of Colu itself.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:49, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Brainiac (character). I've looked for, and not found, any sources to suggest that Colu merits an article of its own. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 21:30, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
