List of locations in the Superman film series

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This list is a back-fill construction made from full sections of the articles it points to. There is little or no attempt to summarize the information from those articles, it is just copied and pasted in place. J Greb (talk) 02:30, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Just reshuffling of existing material to create a new article, when the information is already in the "other media" sections of the main articles and the relevant films link through to them. Redundant replication. (Emperor (talk) 02:00, 2 March 2010 (UTC))
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Comment This would be more welcome over at the [Superman Wiki. I agree that it is a reshuffling of existing material to create, ostensibly, a new article. [[User:Mandsford|Mandsford]] (talk) 13:45, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd recommend putting in a transwiki request. Quite a few articles that crop up on Wikipedia but aren't needed or appropriate could easily find a new home on a wikia project where they can be reworked to fit their needs and if anyone spots something that could be useful bang in a request. It also means it isn't waste effort for the editors and it leaves on in some form elsewhere. (Emperor (talk) 15:42, 8 March 2010 (UTC))


 * Keep appropriate summary article. Not being paper, a little duplication of this sort is useful. We could avoid it if we had a more sophisticated hypertext system to include sections where they belong, but at present this is a convenient way to do things.    DGG ( talk ) 05:01, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as pure OR and OS. Rather than being a short list with brief descriptions (a brief description would be "'Fortress of Solitude'-- Superman's Arctic hideaway") it goes into this mind-numbing comparison of a location's part in the plot of four specific films ("... after he throws it down, it melts into the ice and grows into a huge crystalline building..." in Superman), but ("Lex Luthor attempts to use memory crystals he stole from the Fortress to create a new continent" in Superman Returns).  It's too broad and too narrow at the same time, and it's not much more than a comparison between films.  With enterainment wikis, there's no longer a need, if there ever was, for this type of "I-watched-a-DVD-and-took-notes" article. Mandsford (talk) 20:04, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete -- this is merely a rehash of other material synthesized in a new article. Violates WP:OR policy. N2e (talk) 23:09, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
