2223:. Trotting out "other articles are written the same way" doesn't make the problem go a way, it just points out there is more work to be done in bringing the articles up to standards. And while on that point - using television episodes to try and sell the idea of "plot only articles are acceptable" doesn't fly. Most of the episode articles that have avoided merging or deletion have some degree of secondary source material and/or real world context incorporated into the articles. "Notability" has also been brought up. Yes, Spider-Man is indeed a very notable character. But not all of the stories from the ~1000 issues of various comic book title featuring the character are notable. Nor are the bulk of them relevant for a summary of the character's in story history for a general encyclopedia article. Having an article set up to accommodate inclusion of the unneeded minutia is creating a bad

This article doesn't cut it in any way shape or form nor can it be made to because it's structure and purpose are so out of line with every policy we have - at it's core, it's just one long plot summary and we don't have article that are simply one long plot summary (it's also a misleading plot summary because it treats the history of Spider-man as a linear narrative and it's nothing of the sort). The MOS (and a dozen other policies) is clear and explicit about this - we don't have articles that are just fictional biographies, we don't write articles that are just to provide descriptive accounts of fictional happenings.I would support a

1396:- it seems we need to get this area better defined (and properly named) as more articles are getting B-class assessments and pushing on for GA and above. If we can get a proper framework and an idea of what we are aiming for it should be possible to nudge articles in the right direction. I think we are agreed that there probably needs to be a longer piece on Spiderman the character I'm just not convinced keeping this and heavily rewriting it will work without a dedicated editor taking it on as a major project (and I.m not seeing any volunteers ;) ), which is why I think we may need to start from scratch with a better idea of what we want this to end up as.

Once you've established whether the article fits the general established consensus, then look at the article itself and decide whether it's to be deleted because it doesn't, or is kept. There has to be a clear system to decide such things or the system is deficient. This is possibly an example where the sytem is deficient, or it could be that Knowledge (XXG) Comics has drifted (or indeed perhaps it hasn't but the rest of Knowledge (XXG) has).

Emperor's thought it would "help establish a target for future articles to aim at". And I'm not sure why it's such an imperative that it's deleted right now when clearly the subject has possibilities, can provide such a pointer to the future and is nowhere near as bad as the hundreds of extremely poor articles that clearly violate so many rules and conventions with no chance of anyone improving them.

milestones in a character's development. So, for example, one could talk about the early history of the
Fantastic Four's development, citing authors, scholars, historians and journalists, and also make mention of certain original-source milestones, such as marriages or childbirth — milestones that would be conspicuously unencyclopedic not to mention. Obviously there's some subjectivity involved, but birth, death, marriage, and a major costume change, for instance, seem like concrete markers within that.
847:. As articles progress to FA status the plot is hammered down and rewritten in an out-of-universe manner (see the Superman and Batman examples above), splitting off the FCB to a new article is not the solution to the problem and the fact this has been done a few times doesn't make it right (those other articles will also be nominated in time). There is a solid article to be written about the portrayal of the character over the years (as mentioned above), this just isn't it. (

Merging in these cases is unattractive because of the ultimate length of the article it would create.

Either way, we can take this as a great opportunity to define how WikiProject Comics handles fictional history, and give ammunition to those who want to see fictional characters' development within a real-world framework, as opposed to the blow-by-blow minutiae that may be of interest to certain fans but which muddy the waters for general readers. --

Nominated by the same guy who nominated it last time I see. Spider man has been around for 48 years, appearing in several long running comic books at once, plus countless crossovers into other series, and special issues. That's a lot of history, and its only logical to put it in a separate article.

I'd also suggest that Spider-Man's fictional history is important (in context) in itself.
