 *  Currently undecided but leaning to Delete - Claiming it to be a phenomenon without reliable sources is original research, and I hate that "top 20 comic book films" by Empire because we are choosing one site over many that have ranked these films. Otherwise, with no additional information to this page, it's really just an article form of a category that already exists.  BIGNOLE    (Question?)  (What I do)  19:20, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Seems to be original research possibly based on a misunderstanding. References to "Comic Book Movie Age" are used to discuss our current "Comic Book Movie Age" not that now is the only one. I assume this is used to parallel the various ages of comics. So it isn't that we are in a "Comic Book Movie Age" there have been a number of which this is the most recent one. However the term doesn't seem enshrined like the actual comic book ages and seems to be used in a rough way. The rest of the entry is already largely covered in List of films based on comics and sub-entries. On the plus side there are the following:  but that said the mian mentions at Google   are mirrors of the original entry or where the original author added in links back to the entry.

 * Delete. Original research. RobJ1981 19:53, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Very, very, very weak keep There is a recent phenomenon in about the past 10 years of the production and popularity of many films based on comic books, and there is room on Wikipedia for a well-sourced article that recognizes this. However, the name "Comic Book Movie Age" seems to be made up wholesale, and the unsourced (WP:OR) article does not reflect anything but a list of recent films.  I expect that mass improvements to this page will not be feasible in time to prevent deletion, but I would not object to recreation if another higher quality on the same subject were to surface in the future.  ~CS 20:07, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Neologism,fFan forums aren't references, 'fans think' isn't a reliable source, and a content fork to boot. ThuranX 23:28, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. The concept is OR, and from a "history-less" perspective at that. Which multiple, reliable, published secondary sources have declared this? Nil verifiability. M URGH   disc.  03:37, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep or otherwise merge to List of films based on comics. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 06:01, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
