[edit] Runaways (comics) (story arcs)
The page is too detailed to be encyclopedic or fair use. If it were significantly trimmed to be fair use it could be merged with Runaways (comics) -- Newt ΨΦ 17:55, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - Unbelievably detailed. It honestly felt like reading the entire series again, and that's not fair use. --Chris Griswold 18:03, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. We're an encyclopedia, not a fansite.--Toffile 18:31, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- Keep and cleanup. Far shorter summaries would make this a very nice article, and be more productive than deleting it outright. --InShaneee 19:20, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

- Merge and cleanup, belongs back in the Runaways (comics) article but with 1-2 sentence summaries. Comics articles normally have a plot summary (which is fine), this is just overboard. Markeer 22:26, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

- Keep and cleanup. This is a major problem, people just slapping an AFD on a page for some reason when it can just be fixed. And for the record, have 1-2 sentence summaries isn't going to work if it's put on the parent page. See Ultimate X-Men (story arcs) as to why. JQF 12:25, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: My apologies for "slapping an AFD" on the page. As an extension of Runaways (comics), the information provided in this article is too detailed and should be included in a small plot summary (focusing on major plot developments like origin, major changes, and effect in the Marvel Universe) on the Runaways page. Not every arc is important enough to be encyclopedic. If taken on its own, as perhaps a literary look at the Runaways comic book (which I do not believe is the intent), it contains too little (read: no) information about reception, themes, and style. For the record, I don't believe Ultimate X-Men (story arcs) is viable either for the same reasons. I accept, however, that I may be mistaken. --Newt ΨΦ 13:20, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
- I re-integrated my condensed plot summary, keeping the art information other editors seemed to want to keep. I would like to point out, though, that we can easily remove the arc with Topher in it. These don't need to be all the arcs, just the important ones. --Chris Griswold 16:48, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
