List of Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man story arcs

 * – (View AfD (View log  •  AfD statistics)


 * Page is intended to list all individual storylines in a comic book, despite the fact that the first story hasn't been published entirely yet, and won't be for about a month, if the solicitations are correct. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, and we shouldn't assume that there will ever be enough stories to warrant a separate article. Plus, all of the info on this page is already featured in the "Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man" article, making this one redundant. Friginator (talk) 23:35, 8 December 2009 (UTC)


 * However if we keep this page it means we can clean up the Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man page. I have created this because that page is too messy and will get too big eventually. JFBeard (talk) 00:29, 9 December 2009 (UTC)


 * What you're saying is basically WP:RISING. There isn't a single complete story arc yet, let alone enough to fill a page. And again, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Encyclopedias should not predict or reflect the future. Friginator (talk) 18:06, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

 * That's a separate series, and the page shouldn't include info on other comics. Friginator (talk) 02:27, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete, pure plot retelling, which Wikipedia is Not. Also, unsourced. Abductive  (reasoning) 09:53, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man, story arc articles tend to be a bad solution to a problem that is better fixed other ways and the need for one is often a sign the article is violating WP:PLOT and WP:WAF, splitting out all that material just leads to an article that still has those problems. However, UC: S-M hasn't even got to that point yet, so starting the article now seems a bad idea. I'd suggest if you get the plot trimmed right back there should be no need for such an article (if you think there is then start a split discussion and alert WT:CMC and we'll look over the issue and see if it is the best solution).

 * Redirect to Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man for now per WP:CRYSTAL, there is not enough content to warrant a separate page at this time. Cerebellum (talk) 20:37, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
