Following from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Features of the Marvel Universe (3rd nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Features of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this is the last of those three fictional universe descriptions in a list form. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NLIST; Wikipedia articles are not places for pure plot summaries, and as a list, this is too broad (list of all fictional in-universe concepts related to Spider-Man). PS. Also, on the off chance this is kept, this would need renaming to the list of something format. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:50, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and consolidate into Spider-Man per Trailblazer. I was worried this would be some massive pile of information to sift through, but the info in the article is relatively concise. Barring the three locations with pre-existing articles, there are two schools and one prison. These locations contain a lot of unneeded information (Do we really need lists of minor characters without articles?) and can be trimmed quite easily to slot somewhere into the Spider-Man article. All locations, including those with articles, can be mentioned in brief there, with a summary explaining what each location is and why it is important to the Spider-Man mythos.

  • Keep Meets WP:CSC point 2. Jclemens (talk) 08:12, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    CSC only applies if none meet notability, which is blatantly false when three of the article's entries have their own articles. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 14:01, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    An all-or-nothing rule seems ill-considered here, given that Wikipedia has tons of lists of instances for which some are notable and have articles while others are not (e.g., List of mayors of Florence). BD2412 T 17:23, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Notability of a list is often based on the notability of the subject group. Largely unfamiliar with your hyperlinked article, but an important governmental position is likely to be more covered in sources than a list of fictional locations with no sourcing showcasing real world relevance. Many of the subjects in the list are entirely non-notable, and the subject itself isn't notable, either. Notability should not be inherited from the few locations that are notable, either.
    Also note that CSC 2 says that "Before creating a stand-alone list, consider carefully whether such lists would be better placed within a "parent" article." CSC 2 isn't exactly a blanket keep statement, even if all the subjects fail notability. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 17:49, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    My reasoning here is that Spider-Man is an article on a specific fictional character, not the entire universe this character occupies, which is separately notable. Although this universe is a subset of the Marvel Comics universe it has locations and characters (many of these separately notable) that arise from it and that are specific to Spider-Man media. This is reflected in fact that there are three separate film franchises, including the 1970s one, around this character and their environs completely unconnected to the MCU or anything else Marvel. Of course, there is also the MCU-adjacent film series, which also reflects the locations and character specific to the Spider-Man universe. Perhaps the title of this article needs to be adjusted to reflect that or the criteria for inclusion of content needs to be clarified, but it will not be at all difficult to demonstrate GNG worthy coverage at this fictional world I've tried with the character itself. BD2412 T 18:46, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    There is no indication the Universe of Spider-Man is a notable topic either, though. That's my main concern. Regardless of title, this is just a non-notable topic unless sourcing can be shown. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 05:19, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Which is why there should be allowed time to find sources to prove whether it is or not, rather than forcing an AfD with inconclusive information. This is something to hash out at the list talk, not here. AfD should be a last resort, not a garbage dumb to prove a point. Trailblazer101 (talk) 05:22, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm personally of the mind that if it's at AfD, we may as well stick with the discussion while it's here, but I see your point. Decided to do a quick source run to double check details. There's a fair few hits in News for Sony's shared movie universe, but that's already covered at Sony's Spider-Man Universe, and when Sony is removed, there's not much outside of trivial Wikipedia:VALNET hits, which don't count toward notability. There's a brief hit here [3], but that's very short and more discussing characters than locations. Outside of that, Books has little bar trivial mentions using it as a buzzword for Spider-Man media. I can't view every scholar hit, but there seems to be a lot of hits on the multiverse in Spider-Man, but again that's an entirely different subject. There may be some hits I missed but I did take a look through everything I could and found little. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 05:45, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Piotrus, you calling the work of the contributors "crap" is something that tells me you need to REFACTOR yourself, as no editor should be as brazen as you have been at these afds. Before you dig yourself into a bigger hole by getting pissy agitated with me, I strongly suggest you do as @Jclemens advised you on the MU afd; to quote them describing your conduct: deceptive, inappropriate, and your attitude is unbecomingly disrespectful to the people who build Wikipedia. Do better, and stop kicking sandcastles over just because you're an academic. BarntToust 03:36, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @BD2412, as you were saying on the MU AfD, what are your thoughts on this? BarntToust 03:47, 15 February 2025 (UTC) [reply]
    Jesus, Piotrus, you should know better than being confrontational to other editors. Please, WP:Assume good faith and don't pick fights. That is not what this discussion is for. I would happily report either one for derailing this discussion and being uncivil towards each other, so I hope it doesn't have to come to that.

No coverage of org's own event Yes presumed reliable for WP:ABOUTSELF material No passing mention of announcer at an event No
Yes No local alt-weekly not considered reliable. At RSN another editor said "somewhat reliable for coverage of its local area" which could mean reliable for the fact that they announced the event. No passing mention of announcer/coordinator for an event No
No passing mention: "The Canterbury Club flew the lovely international jet ski announcer Dawn Dawson all the way from her home in the USA, Dawn kept the large crowd informed and entertained all weekend with her cheeky banter." No
No Independence of un-authenticated YT uploader is impossible to determine (possibly pseudonymous). No YouTube clips can not be used for notability (WP:YOUTUBE) with rare exceptions. This is an upload by some individual of their personal video and should be treated as non-reliable SPS. No the subject's name is credited in the video description as an announcer, nothing more No
No local alt-weekly, not useful for notability No

I seem to keep coming across redundant and unnecessary DAB pages like this. The entries include a WP:PTM (French Moralists); a redundant, superfluous, and frankly confusing reference to Wiktionary; an extremely niche video game faction; and a redirect from a phrase not used at its target that is at best a PTM anyway (Scientific moralist). In accordance with WP:PARTIAL, if this DAB page were cleaned up, all that would really be left are Moralism and The Moralist. I think a hatnote on the former acknowledging the existence of the latter will suffice. — Anonymous 02:56, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have mixed feelings about this, in large part because it is an African-American place, and the documentation on these tends to be sketchy. The issue here, however, is that once again the article does not accurately relate what the thesis (which is the only source I could find outside GNIS) says about the place. The key failure is in the statement that "it was the home of several families [of] free African Americans", because it says that about the whole Cabin Creek Settlement. The "Scott's Corner" part pertains only to the store, due to the name of the proprietor. It doesn't actually say there was a town there, and it doesn't say that people lived at the corner. At least, that's how it reads to me. And it's basically an isolated intersection now, and furthermore, the aerials indicate that the two houses on the NE corner are recent, and that there was once another building on the SE corner which disappeared around 2010. It might have been the store at some point, or maybe not. It would be nice to find something else to go by, but for instance the county history (which was written early as these things go) doesn't mention it. So reluctantly I think this will need to go unless someone can find better verification. Mangoe (talk) 02:40, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The individual Zulkarnain Saer Khan partook in the orchestration of a dossier denominated All the Prime Minister's Men. Consequent to the helping of this dossier, he was the recipient of a commendation entitled the Global Shining Light Awards. The Global Shining Light Awards is bereft of eminence or substantial prestige in any capacity. The mere attainment of the Global Shining Light Awards does not fullfill the criteria of notability (person), as the dossier All the Prime Minister's Men itself fails to consummately fulfill the stringent prerequisites of notability.

Furthermore, the article is an absolute dearth of elucidation absent his academic credentials. Additionally, the article harbors superfluous and extraneous verbiage, including allusions to assailments perpetrated against his brother. Hydronex (talk) 20:21, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews."
But no other work by the individual in the article can be found apart from All the Prime Minister's Men, and All the Prime Minister's Men is neither a significant nor a well-known work. This means the individual does not fulfill point three of Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Creative_professionals. Hydronex (talk) 17:42, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Super culture" doesn't seem to be an established term in anthropology. The book referenced actually says "To correspond with the term "sub-culture", a new term "super-culture" might be invented..." which suggests to me this is a term that was only used by few people. I don't think this warrants a redirect to "Culture", given that "Super culture" would be a very uncommon search term if it's not in use in anthropology.

Former mayor of Las Cruces, New Mexico, which has a population of ~110k. Looking at the List of mayors of Las Cruces, New Mexico, the only one besides Miyagishima who has a Wikipedia page is Albert Johnson, who is obviously notable as the first black mayor anywhere in New Mexico.
