Orphaned references in Hulk in film

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Hulk in film's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 22:43, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Merge proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

After more than a month open, no additional editors provided options. Consensus was unclear initially, but given the discussion with Jhenderson777, and TriiipleThreat adding their opinion, consensus is to merge. This character is more similar to Captain America, and as seen on that page, this info can work fine on the "in other media" page. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 06:54, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

This page should be merged into Hulk (comics) in other media. All relevant info (ie not the cast table or reception section, as those can be found on individual pages or better yet, the Marvel Cinematic Universe page) can easily fit in the section on that page. Please note similar proposals occurring at Thor in film, Iron Man in film and Captain America in film. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 05:41, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

• Merge per nominator. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 05:41, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

• Keep: I believe we should keep the Hulk in film and Captain America in film, due to both the characters appearing before outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe films. Like Hulk there were three Bill Bixby films and the Eric Bana one then the Marvel Cinematic Universe films. -- TreCoolGuy (talk) 02:47, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

• Keep:While the other ones I might say delete. I think Hulk has enough stand-alone films on it's own to have a article on this. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 15:17, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

A question for you. Why does the development info you added have to be on this page? Wouldn't it be better served on the Hulk 2003 page, which I see is where you grabbed it from? I don't see why it has to be on this page, as it applies only to the 2003 film. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:42, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

This might need consensus as well. But I did it because they are not the same script. The only similarities is Universal Studios pretty much. But you are free to feel differently and even (gasp) revert if you feel so strongly. It's just like Spider-Man in film talking about all the different projects before the Sam Raimi movie happening IMO. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 17:25, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Your right and you are sort of not right. The scripts were rewritten to be the same film. But a lot of differences is applied. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 17:28, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Favre1fan93. I am back from lunch...and I assure you I was concerned that other editors wouldn't like it either. This it could turn out to be a controversial edit. So excuse me while I stay concerned. My question to you. Is that you understand what I meant (Also do you agree?) My further opinion is that these cancelled scripts are not technically the same film and can be seen as different film projects. Not to mention that the latest project (in 1997) was so close to be filming until hiatus with a release date of 1999 with a made up antagonist.If it was to be done it would have never been the same film as Ang Lee's. Just like James Cameron's Spider-Man before Sam Raimi's. It being at the time when Universal Studios had the rights (and possibly having some of the same producers) seems to be the main connection. But I still can see how that can be debatable and I still want to know your opinion on it now that you have heard me out and hopefully explained myself better. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 18:54, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

As you can see. I changed my mind. I put it back where it was. Because they do give final credit for the movie. So I figure it probably is better belonged in the Hulk (film) after all. It still can be seen as a topic about undeveloped films though. Not just the development of ONE film. It's kind of complicated because it can work in this article and the other article both. This page is needing a production section that doesn't copy a article. I think. That's why every other "X in film" article is useful. Maybe I can maybe make a smaller version. So I won't feel I wasted my time with all that work for nothing. We will see. Anyways back to the main topic that is merging or not merging. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 19:25, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

I understand what you were trying to do, I just fail to see why a condensed version can't be written in the Film section on the in other media page, with hat notes pointing to the 2003 film page for further info. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 20:41, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Like what I did now? Starting off I thought they had very little connection at all and it was kind of irrelevant development on different films projects (but it was the only place to put at the time)...and that it could possibly be moved in just like the Spider-Man in film development section but it appears they have enough connection to stay where they were at.

• Merge As with the other merge proposals, there isn't that much unique information here (most of it is lifted from the Marvel Cinematic Universe) so a merge would cut down the repetition. Betty Logan (talk) 03:39, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
• Merge per Favre1fan93 and Betty Logan. Most of the article is repeated from Marvel Cinematic Universe and rest can be easily housed at Hulk (comics) in other media.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 22:58, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
