No indication this toy line related to a fictional military organization (from a game/action product series) passes WP:NFICTION/WP:GNG. Pure WP:PLOT+WP:OR. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:09, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

• Keep or Merge. It is an incontrovertible fact that Z Force is a fictional military organization, as part of the Action Force universe. In that context there is plenty of evidence in the written comic book archive (Battle Action Force etc) and the derived toy-line (Palitoy) that Z Force was an important part of the Action Force narrative (the European equivalent of the GI Joe universe). Whether it has enough global reach and notability that it warrants its own in-depth article is perhaps the issue that is up for debate, as has been the case with other elements of the Action Force narrative, see Q Force. Although I note that SAS Force, Space Force and perhaps most clearly the Red Shadows and Cobra are equivalent and to-date retain articles in their own right. The article is some 10 years old without any previous AfD. It strikes me this is about subjective perception from the POV of the OP.--Dick G (talk) 11:59, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
• Delete. Fails NFICTION/GNG. Wikipedia is not a toy store, eh? Kacper IV (talk) 09:23, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Delete. I couldn't find any independent media coverage. I'm also going to nominate SAS (Action Force), Space Force (Action Force), Red Shadows and AF (action figures). Clarityfiend (talk) 20:16, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
