[edit] Spider-Man Movie History

Spider-Man Movie History (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Delete as nom. Article utilizes poor grammar, spelling, capitalization, syntax and does not seem to follow naming conventions. Information displayed is largely non-neutral POV and becomes especially worrisome—speculative and inacurrate—as it describes Spider-Man 3. No sources are cited and images are not used sparringly. While an article for the Spider-Man series of films might be nice, this is poor substitute. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 04:43, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. None of the reasons cited are reasons for deletion. Deletion should be based on the article's SUBJECT (is this a topic worthy of having an article on?), not on the quality of the writing therein. Tag it for cleanup, but don't delete it. The article might need a rename/move to a better name, and needs NPOV cleanup, as well as referencing, but the Spider Man movie franchise (as a cohesive unit) is a notable franchise, much like Star Wars or Lord of the Rings or Austin Powers. This is a badly written article, but a notable subject. Definately keepable. --Jayron32 05:02, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. The whole article would have to be completely erased and re-written from scratch- just googling any random set of words will show it's a copyvio. --Wafulz 05:06, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Well-intended, but the whole thing is a copyvio from assorted websites and movie descriptions. Anything that isn't a copyvio is original research. Unfortunately, because of the copyright issues in this article, there's no chance of turning it into a useful article like Spiderman film series. --Wafulz 05:04, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Utterly redundant article made up of original research, crystal balling, copyvio (e.g. [1]) and POV fancruft trivia. -- IslaySolomon | talk 05:30, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom. Xdenizen 07:35, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. The article consists of redundant content and speculation. --Metropolitan90 08:49, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Nothing salvageable. Postdlf 14:16, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, WP:NOT a crystal ball, original research, totally redundant, there are copyright problems on the article, so this article has to go. --Terence Ong _{(C | R)} 15:07, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete WP:NOT, WP:OR ect ect †he Bread 23:09, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
• Sad Delete It's a shame, but it's just a huge series copyright issues and OR and it could have been something good. Delete it so someone else can make something relevant and public domain. Robovski 02:54, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above - in principle a valid article but current version has huge problems as documented above. --Matthew Humphreys 09:25, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
