Silver Surfer Issue Guide (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Looking at the discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Collaboration#Category:Issue_Summaries this appears to be an attempt to move the Wikipedia project into realms of annotation, plot summary and book guides, something I think is better performed by WikiBooks. I don't really follow what the idea here is, I don't even follow what the article itself is doing, but I really don't think this content is appropriate for Wikipedia. It's hard to see how we're going to maintain these articles, to ensure they are in keeping with policy, and it's hard to see where they fit in with the remit, that is with WP:NOT. Bringing it here for a wide and considered debate on the issues this article presents. Hiding Talk 19:50, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nomination. RobJ1981 20:11, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I don't see how this is substantially different from, say, a TV episode guide. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:12, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Looks to me like episode guides aren't encouraged either, judging by the conclusions at Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Television episodes. Hiding Talk 22:20, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, this is not what Wikipedia is for. Recury 21:30, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, per nom. I can't tell what this article is supposed to achieve. ~CS 21:58, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Wait if this was a list of issues likeList of The Amazing Spider-Man comics it could stay. It was only started on December 3 so maybe if we inform the main author of the article of other examples of this type of list, it will improve. Cnriaczoy42 22:16, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've already linked to a discussion with the author. This is the authors second attempt at Hiding Talk 22:20, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - This really is not what Wikipedia is for. Do it at Wikibooks or Wikia. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 23:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
