Talk:Firestar (limited series)

Latest comment: 15 years ago by Ventifax in topic Merge


Shouldn't this be named Firestar (comic series)? Ventifax

I've thought this since I first found and expanded this article, but I don't know how one goes about changing the title of an article. Firestar (comics series) or (limited series) or something like that. - Pennyforth 16:18, 27 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Merge edit

This really needs to be merged with Firestar. --Basique 23:42, 17 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Not really. The main article for Firestar is a general overview of the character's overall history, from the Amazing Friends series to all of her Marvel Universe appearances. This article is a detailed description of the specific events of the character's self-titled mini-series and connected appearance in Uncanny X-Men. Besides, this article is fairly good-sized, and the main Firestar article isn't much smaller; merged together, they would be quite unwieldy. If this article is deemed unnecessary (and I'd say it's just as valid as any other comics-related article on Wikipedia), it would be better to delete this article and possibly add some extra detail to the "Hellions and Firestar" section of the main article. For my opinion, I don't think a merge or deletion is necessary--but then, I've put enough work into this article that I'll admit my opinion is a tad biased. -- Pennyforth 12:01, 23 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
  • Merge - a similar vote came up over Orion (comics) and his eponymous limited series and the result was merge. This entry is basically all plot which would need to be heavily trimmed down. A slimmer version would then obviously fit better into main entry. (Emperor 04:14, 12 September 2007 (UTC))Reply
  • No merge- Upon review of this article, it is of reasonable quality. A merger of the two would be a disservice of both articles, specificly for the reasons mentioned by User:Pennyforth. - 66.109.248.114 (talk) 00:12, 16 December 2007 (UTC).Reply
  • Merge - A short summary of the miniseries should be placed within the characters' main entry. No point in overdoing things. --217.197.68.83 (talk) 14:25, 17 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
  • No merge as per Pennyfort, if this debate is still open (which I doubt).--83.60.151.212 (talk) 18:20, 17 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
