Marvel Cinematic Universe Films

Captain Marvel (film), Avengers: Endgame, Spiderman: Far From Home have not been made GA, are not in the process, and are outside the grace period. Additionally, Black Panther (film) has been delisted. Kees08 (Talk) 07:00, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Removal This valuable collection of articles on a series of mostly very good (and certainly very popular!) films never really met the criteria for good/featured topic status.

Most of the articles scraped by GA review without a thorough source check, which would have revealed too much of the text to be closely paraphrased or copy-pasted, and when not that the information is often not verified by the sources at all. The cast sections are uniformly poorly written (they are formatted based on poster billing rather than reliable secondary sources, leading to glorified cameos being given more emphasis than major players) and filled with OR (the character descriptions are often mish-mashes of what can be gleaned from various films in the same franchise), while most of the production and reception sections are barely-readable WP:QUOTEFARMs. Many of the articles only appear "stable" because of WP:OWN and WP:TAGTEAM behaviour on the part of a small group of editors who maintain them. A lot of the blame for this mess can probably be placed on the GA review process, where reviewers have a vested interest in passing the articles regardless of all else (Black Panther and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 stand out as examples that definitely never should have passed).

These and other reasons aside, I cannot support the maintenance of this group of articles as a featured topic at this time.

It just came to my attention that the retention period for Far From Home technically hasn't ended yet, and Black Panther was given a new retention period in July that ran out a few days after this discussion was opened. Not changing my !vote and hardly likely to do so for anyone else, but I just figured I should point it out. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 05:56, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
