Wiki Page Deletion Requests Thread (New forum)

[DontTalkDT]

@DontTalkDT

We likely need your help here:

https://vsbattles.com/threads/profile-deletion-requests-thread-new-forum.107528/post-5380426

In my opinion, anything that sells physical copies at a reasonably large scale is sufficiently official for our purposes. For online shops, where any idiot can get the product published, I would understand if we question the notability of a work even if it's commercialized. Same if it's a movie sold by like 3 stores in town because it has local relevance.
However, if I can go into a regular bookstore in multiple places in a larger area and that sells me a book, I personally would believe it's an actual proper series regardless of its nature.

What copyright violations are concerned... that's not really our problem. If the copyright is not handled appropriately and the series gets sued into nonexistence we can still nuke the work. Beyond that character cameos are no problem IMO. (of course the regular alternate version rules should still apply)

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you for the evaluation. So should the Thanos page also remain for this verse then?

I don't really care about Thanos' profile

 

[Antvasima]

Well, maybe it is legal via laws that allow for unofficial parody content in entertainment media?

I'll be honest, I don't know

Fair use allows the usage of characters in a parodied or not too prominent usage, yes, although keep in mind that legally it's a gray area (as far the US is concerned anyways), which is why you can have stuff ranging from a mere Mickey Mouse reference to a whole parody that has lasted years with Mario as the main character

I, in principle, don't mind it. Only thing one could debate is if, as an alternate version of Thanos, it might not be a sufficiently prominent alternate version of the character. The existence of "crossover" characters like that gets some extra scrutiny, after all.

Do we have a page or any set standards regarding this?

The closest relevant rules are those regarding alternate canon and rules on allowed pages. Neither gives anything very specific to this case, though. It's just a general "should be notable"-thing.

The Hive Mind page should be deleted because we merged it with the larger tyranid page in this thread

I have done so.

You should update the pages that link to said page accordingly.

Is God Fusion Goku really needed?

While his origin is unique (albeit from a short and quirky OVA), he's just a copy-paste of various stuff from other Goku profiles and doesn't really bring anything new to the table, as the whole "fused with a hundred irl people" is so vague that you can't really take anything from it.

Yes, it particularly feel almost as inappropriate to link to such a page in Thanos' navigation template, as it would be to link to the original mythological version of Thor and the God of War version of Thor in a Thor (Marvel Comics) navigation template.

Well, this parody page definitely does not seem to be notable at least.

Yes, I personally agree with deleting it, and think that I asked Tyloxtus to come to this forum and ask for input before he adds it again, but it seems like his account was never accepted due to that he tried to sign up with two of them at the same time over a year ago.

I will talk with him about it via his wiki message wall.

I have posted a message to him:

Given that Oliver expressed that he's fine with that one being deleted, the Thanos page can probably be deleted then.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you. I will delete it then.

Barebones profile that hasn't been touched in a while. I feel like it's safe to delete.

Yeah i agree. Even it's verse info links to a wikipedia, no scans, no calc, no justifications, nothing.

I only deleted the first page. I don't know about the second one, it seems that the Gloryhammer verse page characters are currently being worked on.

So they have now created a thread to try to upgrade them back to Low 1-C.

Decided to check if they had any notable feats whatsoever, and they don't.
Their leader does have a breath attack and he uses it on a building, except all it does is just shake some rooms and does absolutely no damage to the exterior of said building. And then they all die.

Delete away.

 

[Marvel_Champion_07]

Sky King does scale to a High 7-C character and the building he failed to damage had Low 7-B durability. But yeah, aside from him, the rest of the Skyfolk are completely featless and just random background characters

 

[ByAsura]

I agree
