Ok so I was talking to Matt about this but he seems busy so I'm asking others. Btw can the Spider-Man (Horrorclix) be re-uploaded
(General) While I am still hoping the profile can be uploaded (due to not breaking any rules I can tell), the talk has gotten me to wonder. What is concidered a irrelevant character or verse? Becausebesides it not being irrelevant in my opinio I don't wish to run into this problem on a later date. Is it about obscurity? Because their are characters/verses on this website that are much more obscure than a character from an old tabletop/board game or the game itself. Like myth characters, various books that aren't overwhelmingly popular, fables and fantasy characters as well as the stories they come from, Primal Rage (Surprised not many remember that :/), etc etc etc.
(Strictly about Spiderman (Horrorclix)) Is it about being a liseced characters or a different character than other versions that are more popular? If that is the case why do we have so many profiles for Slenderman, Superman, Goku, Batman, etc that all have the same basic abilities as the orginal with a slightly different ability or tier? The editing rules for alternative canons talk about being relevant and I would argue a lower level zombie spider-man with various abilities not show in Marvel Zombies or the comics in general would make it a notable, though somewhat obscure, version. The profile doesn't break any rules I can see. The reasoning is even sound. If it is due to obscurity why does this website have two of the same character with the exact same tier and abilities, and yet we say it is a notable version? Why even have two then? And no, I am not saying delete anything. I am just wondering reasoning. So what about including feats from video games based on lisenced characters. That is fine. Boardgame is a no? What about novels? Making a profile for a character using a novel. That is an alternative canon, correct? But lets say the book is obscure. Would that make the verson of the character irelevant? Because I know horror characters ranging from Jason, Elly Kedward (Blair Witch), Death (Final Destination), and various other characters have book series for them and most aren't well know. Would that make those versions irrelevant? I am very VERY biased though so much of that is likely salt.
But it this wasn't talking about a version of Spider-man and instead I was talking about a character all by itself, no canon version, then what would make it relevent or not? Is there a lay out for what is "irelevant" or is it just an opinion? Does obscurity descide whether or not something deserves a profile? I know it is to prevent OCs but it they are made by and continued by a company, even if it is obscure, doesn't that make it not an OC or OC verse? When does it change from being an OC to being an actual character or verse? Just wondering because I don't want to waste time working on things if they are just going to be deleted due to being "irelevant". My apologies if this just becomes a salty nerd rant or something equally cringy.
