Template:Wolverine

Template:Wolverine (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (restore)

Wolverine is noteworthy enough to have a solo template. In addition to having several articles providing overview for the character (Wolverine in other media, Fictional history of Wolverine), there are also article dedicated to his solo comic books (Origin (comics), Old Man Logan, etc.) as well as solo films (X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Hulk Vs. Wolverine) and video games (Wolverine (video game), Wolverine: Adamantium Rage, etc.) as well as his supporting cast (Silver Fox, Daken, etc.). Moreso many of these article are not in Template:X-Men or any other navbox. Since Wolverine has a significant number of articles that mostly deal with him directly (and not as his place in the X-Men), the character should have a separate template.

• As the instructions on the deletion review page indicate, many issues can be resolved by asking the deleting/closing administrator for an explanation and/or to reconsider his/her decision. While not strictly mandatory, this should normally be done first. Did you try, or was there some special reason? Stifle (talk) 17:13, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Johnny Bravo (character)

Johnny Bravo (character) (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (XfD|restore)

Overturn and delete or relist. Juliancolton's closure statement indicates that he found claims of "original research" to be either the most prevalent or most persuasive of the arguments for deletion. However, I challenge that assessment. The strongest deletion argument was that the article is an unnecessary fork of content that belongs in the Johnny Bravo article. The character is not just the main character of the program; rather, the two are so inseparable that any and all encyclopedic content on the character should in fact also be found in the program article. Furthermore, the article as it stands is chock-full of unnecessary plot recaps and quotations; once excised (the necessity of which was acknowledged by Juliancolton), the only remaining content would be small enough that it could be easily merged back into Johnny Bravo, where it belongs. I believe the closing admin incorrectly discounted those quite valid arguments in favor of "original research is not in itself a reason for deletion". Powers ^T 14:40, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

• Closing admin - A few points: as I said, original research is not itself a reason for deletion. The same could be said about the lack of references and the abundance of in-universe info; these issues should have been addressed through editing, not deletion. Also, the general consensus was that the subject is notable enough to justify inclusion. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 14:53, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
• Overturn and delete in respect of the consensus at the AFD. Stifle (talk) 17:14, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Could you please elaborate? I'm not sure I understand. Thanks, –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 17:20, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
    • I've seen Stifle's votes at drv before. As far as I can tell, he thinks that an afd outcome is either a subjective judgment call for which the drv participant can offer no objective rationale, or a mysterious ethereal substance that penetrates the drv participant's mind by osmosis. Or are those the same thing? 160.39.213.152 (talk) 18:05, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
• Endorse as reasonable close. OR isn't a reason to delete, and consensous didn't favor the view that LtPowers has. Hobit (talk) 17:28, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
• The arguments that Powers offers as rationales for deletion are in fact rationales for redirecting. And there were no valid arguments for deletion in the afd. Hobit was right at the afd--the questions of whether to redirect this subtopic of Johnny Bravo and whether to merge any of the content into Johnny Bravo, should be discussed at the article talk page. 160.39.213.152 (talk) 18:05, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
