Talk:Kate Kane

Bob Kane

I’m surprised there is nothing in the article on whether the last name Kane is an homage to Batman creator Bob Kane.Dhugot (talk) 14:29, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

GAR request

This has been marked for a GA request. @Bookkeeperoftheoccult and Zythe: Are you interested in trying to get it up to GA standard. AIRcorn (talk) 00:16, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

I'd be interested in helping if I can, or making constructive suggestions where possible, although it's a busy time for me this/next month.Zythe (talk) 15:37, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Unfortunately in two to three months time I will become very busy myself. Have a read through and decide how much you can do. Referencing and updating seem like the biggest issues which can be easy or hard depending on what sources you have access to. I feel it lacks some information too. It covers the history well, but doesn't have much critical commentary on the character itself. Concept, creation, reception, cultural influence etc. I feel this requires quite a bit of work. AIRcorn (talk) 20:43, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Honestly, I wish I had the time, but I really don't think I do. My apologies. The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 16:03, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

Don't worry. It's not really that big a deal. The article will just lose the green spot. If you or someone else gets time they can always renominate it later. AIRcorn (talk) 21:24, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

GA Reassessment

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Batwoman/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

Referencing and updating seem like the biggest issues which can be easy or hard depending on what sources you have access to. I feel it lacks some information too. It covers the history well, but doesn't have much critical commentary on the character itself. Concept, creation, reception, cultural influence etc. This needs to be dne before we have can have a proper reassessment of the whole article. AIRcorn (talk) 23:40, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

• Delisted per above. AIRcorn (talk) 10:15, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Split the two characters

This article is already pretty huge. I feel the article can be trimmed about the code name usage and the two main characters who used the identity can have there own article. Originally I was pretty hesitant of doing that due to the article being a GA but now with the delisting and all I decided I will make a consensus on it. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 04:05, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

No consensus. I will boldly see with what I can do. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 19:01, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Rtkat3 (talk · contribs). I just split off two Batwomen. But I still feel this article title should be all about everybody who used name like in the bottom. While Kate Kane can have her own page in Batwoman (Kate Kane) after I request a page move of Kate Kane. What do you think? Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 20:31, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

It would be a good idea. Though you will have to convert the Batwoman page into a set index and copy Kate Kane's media appearance to her page. Is that a good suggestion? --Rtkat3 (talk) 15:39, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Yeah that is mostly what I have in mind. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 19:41, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Since this appears to be underway, I removed the SPLIT template. Argento Surfer (talk) 14:15, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

@Argento Surfer:Yes the two mainstream Batwoman were moved. But I still feel that "Batwoman" title should be an set index article with this article retitled. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 14:55, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

I would boldly do it but this is page move protected I think. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 14:57, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

• Batwoman → Kate Kane
• Batwoman (identity) → Batwoman

– An article that is exclusively about Kate Kane should be renamed "Kate Kane". An article titled "Batwoman" should be about ALL superheroes who've been known as Batwoman; or in other words, the "Batwoman (identity)" article should be renamed "Batwoman". The overwhelming preference given in this article to a character who did not even exist throughout most of Batwoman's history is inexcusable. 73.70.13.107 (talk) 01:19, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

• Weak Support - Kate is popular due to WP:RECENTISM and is not necessarily the primary topic. However, I'm not completely satisfied with a DAB page because it will likely result in future move requests in a fight over primary topic. What would be excellent is if someone with greater knowledge of the topic could further expand the "identify" DAB page into a fuller article about the history of Batwoman. IMHO. But for now, I would support the two page moves listed above. TiggerJay (talk) 16:12, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
• Support: A similar arrangement is done for Batgirl and Barbara Gordon even though Barbara is the most recognizable of the Batgirls. I somewhat disagree with the nominator as I think Kate Kane is the more well-known person to be Batwoman and has eclipsed Kathy Kane in that regard (likely due to recentism). That being said, this seems like a standard approach to me. Aoba47 (talk) 02:00, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Mistitled infobox

The infobox under "2011–2015: New 52 self-titled series" gives the name of that series as "Kate Kane", which is incorrect. The infobox is clearly drawing from the article title and needs to be changed, but I'm not sure how to override this; nothing I've tried out has worked. Caivu (talk) 14:21, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
