[edit] Evil Superman

Evil Superman (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Effectively an extended plot exposition of Superman III; wholly unreferenced w/o any evidence of exceptional notability. Originally {{prod}}ded [1], removed w/o comment [2]. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 21:28, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Redirect to Superman III. Nominator is correct that this is a rehash of the plot of the film and it's possible someoen will use this as a search term. Otto4711 21:36, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge to Superman III, but not sure about the redirect--hasn't the comic had Evil Supermen too? JJL 01:45, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Fictional characters-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 05:22, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep the Evil Superman article where it is. It's been here for nearly a year and it's been fine. Why is it such a problem now? People have viewed and even updated this article since I put it on here. Inkspot 10:15, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
  • The fact that people have looked at it or worked on it does not exempt it from policies and guidelines. Otto4711 18:05, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, if there is a comic with the character as well or Merge if there isn't, but definitely no policy reason to delete. --164.107.222.23 01:14, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
  • The policy/guideline reason is WP:FICT under which characters should be dealt with in the article for the fiction in which the character appears unless an encyclopedic treatment requires that the character article be split off. Since the bulk of this article is simply a restatement of the plot of the film, there is no reason for this article to exist. Otto4711 13:05, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
