Comic world arc/plot summary and nothing but. No reception, or analysis, my BEFORE failed to find anything substantial. Fails WP:GNG. Suggst redirecting to List of New X-Men story arcs per WP:ATD-R. And the odds are we need to take a long, hard look at other entries in Category:New X-Men story arcs and parent/sister categories, sigh. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 00:55, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect I'm not finding WP:SIGCOV either. I can at least verify that it exists, but there's not really a reception to summarize. We can't write a reliable article without significant independent reliable coverage. Shooterwalker (talk) 13:04, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For clarification, a redirect could include a very selective merge, since we would need to at least define this subject at the target. Shooterwalker (talk) 20:21, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment That title is really thankless when looking for sources with the common meaning and New Worlds (magazine) as competition. Can anyone tell what kind of source this Retrospecitva New X-Men is? It has a serveral-page chapter on New Worlds. And has anyone access to Twenty-First-Century Popular Fiction, p. 171, where it seems to appear? There is one paragraph in this Screen Rant article.

@Daranios Retrospective... right now sadly I am calling it a blog, weirdly published in the form of a pdf: https://www.freewareideologico.com/2012/07/15/retrospectiva-new-x-men-de-grant-morrison/ Nothing in https://www.freewareideologico.com/ suggests it is not a blog. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 23:18, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The book is in Z-library, but searching for new worlds gives just the magazine mention. There is an entire chapter on "‘It’s a Trap! Don’t Turn the Page’: Metafiction and the Multiverse in the Comics of Grant Morrison" by Kate Roddy, but it does not seem to mention this arc, and even the term X-men appears just briefly and in relation to the New X-Men series. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 23:24, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge So apart from secondary sources which only mention the existence of this story arc/series of comics, the ScreenRant article seems to be the only one with a bit of commentary. Therefore not enough to establish notability. A selective merge to List of New X-Men story arcs (with the help of that one source) seems best to me. I don't think a pure redirect would be very helpful, as our story arc here is not yet even mentioned at the target. Please let me know if anyone finds more sources.

Merge to List of New X-Men story arcs per Daranios. As they said, a plain redirect in this case would not work as the story is not mentioned there currently, and the entire Grand Morrison section is simply a redirect to a category at the moment. So, at the very least, a bit of a merge would be needed for this to work. Rorshacma (talk) 17:58, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
