[edit] LEAGUE OF HEROES
Looks like a hoax. No sources given. Claims to be a short-lived series of comic books from the 1970s, but at least one of the key characters (Booster Gold) did not exist until 1986. Google turns up no relevant support. FreplySpang 18:57, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- NOTE - please see previous discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/League of Heroes, which was closed early when the author blanked the article. FreplySpang 19:15, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Comment - I don't know if you know this already, but this was already afd'd once before, so {{db-repost}} would apply. John Reaves (talk) 19:02, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

- Comment - Thanks for the info, I hadn't noticed! The previous AFD was closed speedily because the article was blanked by the author, who has now reposted it. Since it didn't have a full discussion period, I'm inclined to let this AFD run its course. (IMO, {{db-repost}} doesn't clearly apply to articles that are speedied out of AFD.)

- Delete - DC comics has absolutely nothing about this. Zippo also for anything regarding a future movie of that name. Hoaxaliscoius! SkierRMH 19:13, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete: Notability not asserted, no references whatsoever, no relevant results from preliminary searches on Google. -- intgr 20:03, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete it reads like a hoax (comics can be farfetched but this?) and there aren't any references. No notability, it even said it had 5 issues which is an assertion of NN. James086Talk 00:43, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Plausible G4 justification notwithstanding, this is a hoax. A post-apocalyptic nuclear series by DC in the 70s would have been big news even if it was terrible. But DC Comics doesn't mention this, Diamond doesn't mention it, and Overstreet's catalogue doesn't mention it. As further proof, this would predate Miller's 1986 Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, making the idea of a dying, dark-future Batman wholly implausible for something supposedly written before 1980.
