Phase One DYK ideas
Hey, do you have any ideas of potential hooks for Phase One? All I'm coming up with are options that would fit individual films better as opposed to the Phase. -- ZooBlazer 16:59, 27 March 2024 (UTC)reply
You could probably do ones based on these lines:
Kevin Feige, Arad's second-in-command, realized that unlike Spider-Man and the X-Men, whose film rights were licensed to Sony and Fox, respectively, Marvel still owned the rights to many of the core members of the Avengers. Feige, a self-described "fanboy", envisioned creating a shared universe
Edgar Wright's pitch for Ant-Man in 2006 helped shape the early films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Feige said some of the MCU was changed to "accommodate this version" of the film, as that version "helped to dictate what we did with the roster for Avengers the first time. It was a bit of both in terms of his idea for the Ant-Man story influencing the birth of the MCU in the early films leading up to Avengers.
You'll just want to simplify them down to get to the core ideas for both. -

Something like these to start?
... that self-described "fanboy"
Kevin Feige envisioned a
shared universe once he realized that
Marvel still owned the rights to many core members of the
Avengers?
Not sure where to fit Phase One in for the first one. The second one is closer, but probably a bit of an Easter egg link. -- ZooBlazer 17:25, 27 March 2024 (UTC)reply
I think those are both pretty good, how about this?

Redirecting articles
I don't actually oppose your intent at bold redirecting episode summaries of a show to a page that treats them all encyclopaedically, but you are doing it wrong. If you move the page to draft space and then redirect, this is a backdoor deletion, that would - unchecked - see deletion of the contributer's edit history in those pages when they fall out of draft. The correct way to have done this boldly is simply to redirect the pages. Also, moving to draft boldly is ineligible on pages over 90 days old. These have been around for over a decade. Draftify should not be used. Now you have done this, and considering some or all of these have been to AfD before, the only route open for cleanup is AfD.

I would have just redirected them if there hadn't been previous deletion discussions. I'm not sure what you mean by "backdoor deletion", every article that is moved to draftspace needs the redirect to be updated so it points to the correct mainspace location, otherwise we could be sending readers to the draftspace. I was unaware of this 90 day rule, I have been involved in many discussions that have led to similar articles being sent to the draftspace well after 90 days. Deleted drafts can be restored so I don't see what the issue is that so desperately needs to be cleaned up. -

An AfD discussion can lead to an older article being sent to draft, but it can't be done boldly. If you knew it was ineligible for a bold redirect, I am not sure why you thought it would be eligible for a bold draft and then redirect! As for backdoor deletion, I thought I had explained. The pages contain edit history - all the edits every contributer made. When you bold redirect, no edit history is lost. Someone can revert the redirect and the history will all be available. By sending to draft, you created a new redirect, which you then retargeted. It has no edit history. Look:
[1]. The edit history is now all in draft space, but the draft will be deleted if no one edits and publishes the draft. It is a backdoor deletion method that jettisons edit history.

That would only be "backdoor deletion" if the draft was deleted and the edit history permanently lost. But (a) the draft won't be deleted if interested editors work on it and then move it back to the mainspace when it is ready, and (b) the edit history of deleted drafts is not lost permanently and can be restored if requested. -
