DC Heralds mass page deletions

[Emirp sumitpo]

This is only for Herald level characters, characters in street tiers and such will not be included.

The title is kinda self explanatory. Basically, before I can get into the rescaling for the heralds, I might as well remove the fluff first. It shouldn't be a surprise that a lot of our DC pages are terrible. Many of them missing scans, lacking abilities and justifications, being very barebones, etc. And with the sheer amount we have, we obviously can't fix all of them, especially with how little members are willing to do so, so I propose we delete these bad pages, how the rules to this are:

- The character doesn't have any significant scaling relevance.

- Nobody has any interest in fixing the character.

For instance, Parallax has a terrible page, but considering he has significant scaling relevance, and has someone interest in fixing them (That being me), then his page can be kept. But if someone like Grail doesn't have much significant scaling relevance and no one (afaik) is interested in fixing her, then she can be deleted.

If anyone is interested in fixing any character on the list or anyone feel they have any profile to add, feel free to do so:

• Grail
• Knockout (Post-Crisis)
• Maxima (Post-Crisis)
• Miss Martian
• Mister Majestic
• Rao (Post-Flashpoint)
• Ultra Comics
• Raven (Post-Flashpoint)

I agree with all of these. Ursa’s page is in the best shape of all of them and even she’s not that great.

 

[Excellence616]

I agree

 

[Antvasima]

Well, I wouldn't mind if we keep Maxima and simply rework her page, and maybe Anarky as well, but except for that it seems fine to delete all of them.

 

[PapiSavitar5025]

Ive been planning on revising Zods page, so I can put Ursa on that list as well.

 

[Armorchompy]

Nix seems ok, what's the issue with 'em?

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

Nix seems ok, what's the issue with 'em?

A lot of the justification seemed pretty lacking and outdated.

Also I've been requested on discord to remove some: That being Anarky and Weird. I can remove Ursa from the list as well.

If you would be so kind to, I will work on her profile.

 

[Antvasima]

So is someboby willing to work on Maxima as well?

Don't remove Weird I wanna use him in VS Threads

Why should we delete these pages? You explained the criteria for deletion but didn't really offer a justification beyond the pages are funky, but that just means they should be reworked and have a [this page is under revision] tag.

'The page isn't good' isn't really a reason to nuke them from orbit. Unless they were bad to like, a level where they'd be reported, then this is just sort of...wrong?

I'll say this, I think the Miss Martian page is bad enough to qualify for the 'report' level, but anything that you wouldn't put in this shouldn't be deleted, period.

Did you… miss the bolded part about people not being willing to fix them?

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

Yeah, agree with axing them.

 

[Ayewale]

No. I don't think a lack of will is a reason to delete a page either: do you think every single existing page on the wiki, or even half of them, are actively maintained? We delete pages by this metric:

...but anything that you wouldn't put in this shouldn't be deleted, period.

And this metric alone.

Again I said that some of these could be reported there and genuinely get deleted but otherwise no.

 

[LordTracer]

No. I don't think a lack of will is a reason to delete a page either: do you think every single existing page on the wiki, or even half of them, are actively maintained?

That’s not exactly a good thing. If a page is bad, irrelevant to the scaling, and nobody’s willing to fix it, there’s no reason to keep it around.

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

As Tracer said. I also explained this earlier.

For instance, Parallax has a terrible page, but considering he has significant scaling relevance, and has someone interest in fixing them (That being me), then his page can be kept. But if someone like Grail doesn't have much significant scaling relevance and no one (afaik) is interested in fixing her, then she can be deleted.

Most of the characters I mention have little relevance or people willing to fix them.

 

[Tllmbrg]

I'll do Weapons Master

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

Aight

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

I'll keep this open for a week. If no one calls dibs on any of the profiles in the OP by Sunday, I think they can go in the bin.

 

[Antvasima]

Is somebody here willing to improve on the Maxima and Anarky pages please? They were very distinctive and quite prominent characters.

I would be willing to improve Anarky's but there isn't much to add

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you for helping out.

Maxima should be quite easy to scale in any case, as she was supposed to be almost as powerful as Superman was in the early 1990s.

 

[Firestorm808]

@Antvasima Do we archive pages before deletion in case they get reinstated again? This is related to the other current thread regarding Comic profile guidelines.

 

[Antvasima]

That may be a good idea, but it is rather easy to find the contents of deleted pages if somebody requests them.

Anyway, can we keep Maxima's page, given how easy she should be to scale?

 

[Cropfist]

I don't see the point of this at all, it's not like the wiki will explode if these pages stay up.

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

I don't see the point of this at all, it's not like the wiki will explode if these pages stay up.

The point is the pages suck and thus they’re being deleted since nobody is willing to fix them. It’s not that deep.

 

[TimeTrapperFanBoy]

Bump

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

Over a week has passed. I think the remaining pages in the OP can be deleted.

 

[Antvasima]

I would still much prefer if we keep Maxima and Anarky, as they are prominent, distinctive, and rather easy to determine the statistics for.

 

[Tllmbrg]

Nobody wants to work on them so

 

[Cropfist]

Anarky is not even on this list and was important to the tier 3 discussion.

 

[LordTracer]

Y’all, Emirp already said earlier in the thread that he removed Anarky from the list.

Also I've been requested on discord to remove some: That being Anarky and Weird. I can remove Ursa from the list as well.

 

[PapiSavitar5025]

Y'know what? I'll work on Super-Man too; I'm still gathering things for Zod and Ursa. Should have those CRTS out soon.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you. Is somebody willing to clean up Maxima's page please?

 

[Da_Lunge_Fish]

Why remove Anarky? His page seems good

 

[Hypertornado099]

Why remove Anarky? His page seems good

No one is removing it

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

Ok

Okay. Thank you. Is somebody willing to clean up Maxima's page please?

Nobody seems interested in doing so, and afaik, she's not even a really major character when it comes to scaling.

Can we get on with all the pages above? I feel this thread has gone on for long enough
