Speedy deletion nomination of List of Television series, films and specials based on DC Comics
A tag has been placed on List of Television series, films and specials based on DC Comics requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

List of TV...DC Comics
Hi, thanks for the message. No problem, I figured it was something like that so the deletion was just a bit of housekeeping. You asked if you should make an article similar to the one that the Marvel navbox links to or if the DC Comics template's title is good enough as it is. I think it's a good idea to make an article, if value can be added to the list in the template. Kind regards, --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 03:44, 16 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Since my OP to your talk page has been archived, I'll hope you put me on your watchlist, will see this, and answer here.
 * I've checked the article linked in the Marvel template's title, and it is nothing but a list, albeit one including animated Marvel TV as well as the template's "live-action," so I guess I won't make one. Still wondering (see Template talk:DC Comics TV) about one for non-DCAU TV animation. --Tbrittreid (talk) 20:21, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Captain Marvel edits
Hiya! I was curious about the two edits (1, 2) you made to the article. I noted that the changes you made need some citable references. While it is cler from your talk page that you are familiar with topics regarding comics, we cannot use your experience as citation. Could you find some citation for some of the material you added? - Jack Sebastian (talk) 12:19, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * No real apologies are necessary, Tbrittreid; I should have inspected the edits a bit more carefully. As to the adding of the uncited info, I had no way of knowing you were going to be adding the citations from other articles in short order. Maybe an 'at work' template at the top or a ref noting something along the lines of 'citations pending' would have let me know. Sorry for interrupting your process. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 04:19, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Who came first Jet Jungle or Race Bannon?=
Jonny Quest may have premiered four months before The Adventures of Jet Jungle, but pitching for the Springbok radio series began well in advance of the actual release. Jet and Race are so close in nature they may well have been brothers. Both are black belt judo champions. Both have white hair. But Jet Jungle has a vertijet, a black panther. a girlfriend called Sam/Kit and the worlds best superhero theme tune. It is possible that Race Bannon's encounter with the Star Master might have granted him a double life in Africa or vice versa.Ethnopunk (talk) 12:51, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The whole passage is unsourced speculation, not really allowed, but I fully believe that the proper thing is to temper the guidelines with common sense. Besides, with television in South Africa then a decade away and practically nothing of SA culture being discussed in the US due to apartheid, it is highly unlikely that either influenced the other, similarities notwithstanding. Further note that Race is already mentioned as strongly resembling both cartoon character Clutch Cargo and Hollywood actor Jeff Chandler. Since you haven't reverted me, I'll leave it at this. --Tbrittreid (talk) 19:46, 31 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I accept what you saying in terms of the isolation, but do find the similarities rather startling. There is also Mr Bannon's nickname to consider in terms of the race politics of the period and another superhero, The Black Panther which might suggest the Star Master had a part to play in all of this. Thanks for being so level-headed with editing. I do appreciate the problems of being too strict in interpretation especially in the absence of cross-cultural discussion on the subject matter.Ethnopunk (talk) 22:23, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
