There must be a looooooooot of Marvel fanboys here.[edit]

That's the only reason I can think that this sorry excuse for an article has survived no less than four AfD's, yet still remains untouched. Reminds me of Reddit's take on WP: "It's mostly just fanboys reciting lore without providing any kind of insight. They just cannot take the perspective of a reader who isn't into superhero comics."

@Just Another Cringy Username: Have you considered to "Fix it yourself instead of just talking about it", now that secondary sources which do provide insight have been pointed out? Daranios (talk) 09:56, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, my preferred course of action would be either redirect or delete, both of which have been tried and failed. Judging by the edit history and the unanimous "keep" votes on all four of the AfD's, it's clear to me that the fanboys on here have clutched this article to their hearts and won't suffer a keystroke to be touched. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 17:05, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Just Another Cringy Username: But I am sure the "fanboys" would not mind if the analysis by secondary sources would be added to make this a more encyclopedic article, which is also the course of action suggested by policy, while deletion is specifically discouraged in such a case as this here. Daranios (talk) 17:58, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there are any secondary sources, which is why I vote for redirect. Something tells me academics aren't tripping over themselves to comment on a comic book. If you can find those sources, why not take your own advice and work on this yourself? I've done what I think is best, only to have it reverted and as I said, I think the fanboy contingent is just too strong here to allow any objective analysis. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 18:24, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Just Another Cringy Username: Sources are right there listed where I had already linked: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Krakoa (2nd nomination). (Fanboys or not, it's unlikely the article would have survived four AfDs without indication of notability.) As for myself, it seemed to me you had more problems with the current state than me, taking the time to point it out, and therefore more incentive to improve it. Also I am busy elsewhere working on problems just like this, like here, and just have interests in other areas (and of course limited time). But if you really want to improve here, but don't want to do it alone, would you like us to both work on it? Like splitting the given secondary sources?

Merged again after 10 years[edit]

Seeing that this page was merged 10 years ago and reverted in all of its in-universe glory w/o any discussion, I have BOLDly remerged it as the same issues exist now which led to the merge in the first place. Anyone who wants to restore the page should be prepared to rewrite the article w/ proper sourcing and real world discussion aimed at the non-fan.
