Repeated draft submissions and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of multiverse worlds (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

Recently, User:(a)nnihilation97 has been repeatedly submitting character drafts that do not meet the WP:MCUCHARACTERS or WP:GNG criteria, which I have reverted. They also moved List of multiverse worlds (Marvel Cinematic Universe) to the mainspace without any discussion among the taskforce, and much of the contents are a WP:CONTENTFORK of Multiverse (Marvel Cinematic Universe) with no sources for the many Earth designations listed. I informed them of the nature of the edits at User talk:(a)nnihilation97#MCU Character Drafts, although they did not seem receptive to the MCU taskforce consensus per their comments there. Any comments at the AfD and their talk would be beneficial. Trailblazer101 (talk) 21:00, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

First of all I wasn't submitting random characters, these were strong supporting characters such as Pepper Potts, Wilson Fisk, Pietro Maximoff and America Chavez whom had important roles in their respective films and series. So I do not understand why Trailblazer101 is being so antagonistic and threatening to block me for submitting draft characters to be published. - (a)nnihilation97 (talk) 21:05, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

I never once said "block". You are clearly ignoring the consensus and guidelines laid out in WP:MCUCHARACTERS. Chavez has only appeared once and is not significant enough for an article. Pietro only appeared twice, one was a brief cameo and also not that notable. Pepper and Fisk could be notable, but their articles have not been crafted in a way to support WP:GNG guidlines of content from the main character's articles being split into a new one. There are procedures to follow in getting a draft published, and if you are not a major contributor to them or do not prove notability, that is a problem, especially when doing so en masse. Some drafts, like Chavez's, were already denied before, and not making any improvements before resubmitting is disruptive and a waste of everyone's time if you refuse to put in the work. Also, not everything on Wikipedia needs an article. This is not a fan wiki. Trailblazer101 (talk) 21:16, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

You were insinuating a block especially how you were phrasing the words, then delete the Pietro draft especially knowing it will never be published as an article on this site. Now that's wasting everyone's time for making that draft. But everything you post is ok though. (a)nnihilation97 (talk) 21:24, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Drafts that are not edited for a period of six months are automatically deleted per WP:G13, which has happened for many character drafts over time. I have not referred to you being block. This discussion is so you and others are aware of how the MCU taskforce works in handling these character articles. It is simple. Follow the guidelines and consensus, and if you think a draft should be in the mainspace, check to see if it needs further work and/or meets the criteria. If not, work on getting it there and then reach out here to see if it meets it then. Please WP:Assume good faith, as I am not trying to get you blocked. I am merely raising concerns of your inability to follow consensus and guidelines. Trailblazer101 (talk) 21:27, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

I already commented at the AfD, but I’ll paraphrase here: I did not give Annihilation permission to publish this given I was still working on it and had no plans to move until I was certain it was ready. The page was meant to serve as the MCU’s version of the List of DC Multiverse worlds article, which has much of the same underlyings that are claimed within the AfD. Next time, please ask me if you want to publish it, because as the person who’s spent a long time carefully working this out, it feels like undermining my goal here. --MarioProtIV (^talk/_contribs) 21:52, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Part of the reason I brought this discussion up here is because annihilation frequently does not consult fellow taskforce participants before moving drafts unilaterally, which is the primary concern here. I have no problem with Mario's work being moved to their sandbox or back to draftspace, though. Trailblazer101 (talk) 21:55, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

"Television episodes set in x" categories

Recently User:JCWoodberry1234 has been adding "Television episodes set in x" categories to episode articles. That's fine as long as the article itself mentions in the plot section that the episode takes place there. If the article does not mention it (WP:CATV), either the category should be removed, or the plot section updated. Gonnym (talk) 14:47, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Infobox of miniseries, should number of seasons be 1

Should the infobox of a miniseries have its number of seasons be included in its infobox as 1? The original two MCU miniseries WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier have it, but the later ones have it as includeonly Hawkeye, Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Secret Invasion, Echo, Agatha All Along. I edited last month the original two miniseries to match the majority but reverted by @Gonnym: so seeking thoughts here. Indagate (talk) 14:54, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Yes. There is no way a casual reader will know how many seasons a show has (especially those that aren't disambiguated) without reading this information. Not all of our readers (read as "most") are hardcore fans and don't follow the news. The infobox is designed to give a very fast overview of the series. This is also why we do use the season number in the series overview. Gonnym (talk) 15:34, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

I do not have a strong opinion about this, though I will say in the name of keeping these articles consistent and the contents easily accessible for our readers, then displaying the singular season would be beneficial to casual readers. Bear in mind that the infoboxes do not currently identify if the series is long-form or if it is a miniseries. Trailblazer101 (talk) 16:35, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
