Fictional comic book location. The article is just a pure plot summary. My BEFORE shows a few passing mentions in the context of black superheroes in the USA, but nothing that meets SIGCOV; the best I see about the location in here: "vividly realized streets and alleys of Suicide Slum, DC’s fictional version of Manhattan’s Lower East Side" but that's again just half a sentence. Unless anyone can find something better, I think we can only redirect this to List_of_DC_Universe_locations per WP:ATD. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:47, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Metropolis (comics) - While it may have started out as a fictionalized version of a New York slum, it has been featured as a part of Metropolis for over fifty years now, and is, in fact, already covered on our article on that fictional city. I agree with the nominations assessment of the lack of notability for this fictional location, but would advocate Metropolis (comics) being the target for a redirect rather than List of DC Universe locations.

Redirect to Metropolis (comics) per above. AryKun (talk) 19:53, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge with it's section at Metropolis (comics) in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. --Rtkat3 (talk) 22:54, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/redirect to WP:PRESERVE. No separate notability from the main topic about the wider fictional location. Shooterwalker (talk) 00:21, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
