Requested move 3 July 2018

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: No consensus. After three weeks we are not any closer to agreement. The main point of contention with the proposed title is that the character has appeared on other TV shows as well as in the comics. While other options were proposed, it seems that (character) adequately disambiguates the subject from the other article of the same name, even if this version isn't the preferred version according to the relevant guidelines.

John Diggle (character)John Diggle (Arrow) – To follow the convention given at WP:NCTV#Episode and character articles which says to use the TV series title as the disambiguator. While this character has subsequently made special appearances in other TV series and in comics, so has the prime example given at NCTV of Spike (Buffy the Vampire Slayer). The character's creation and primary appearance are both from the Arrow TV series. Please note that the target has significant history, with three separate article creations and 3 subsequent redirects based on notability. Open to ideas where to best hold this history if the RM passes (my suggestion would be a history merge). -- Netoholic @ 06:13, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am not comfortable with Arrowverse per MOS:IN-U. Titling the article with a term known only to fans is not a good idea. The something-verse names are not well known outside the realm of their fanbase, and no one else knows what they mean. Why can't we use something that makes sense like John Diggle (Arrow character) or John Diggle (Arrow TV series). Alternately a less good option would be John Diggle (DC Comics) or John Diggle (DC media franchise character)? If needed, perhaps John Diggle (Arrowverse franchise) to denote that it is a media franchise and not a new type of quantum physics. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 10:40, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Frayae, the term "Arrow-verse" was declared official by Kreisberg. --Kailash29792 (talk) 10:58, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No doubt it's official, it makes me discombobulated because the programme series is not called "arrowverse", nor is the company behind it, this makes it less clear to someone who knows of the series but is not enough of a fan to know of the arrowverse. I am not opposing the idea, just making my opinion known. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 11:08, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
MOS:IN-U is irreverent here as "arrowverse" is not from the vantage of characters within the fictional universe, as Kailash29792 stated, its an official name given by the production and used by critics (RS) and fans. Now, whether that name is valid or not, that has to do with WP:NCTV, which as Netoholic pointed out the guideline does not currently support (but does in fact use in at least MCU, Star Trek and Law & Order character articles). I've created a discussion on this and other issues over here if you want to take part in the discussion. As a side note, both John Diggle (DC Comics) or John Diggle (DC media franchise character) are not good names, as this article is only for the TV version of the character and not for any comic book version. --Gonnym (talk) 14:10, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify, "arrowverse" is an alternative official name for the programme(s), and not representative of a fictional universe within the programme series? — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 15:42, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Frayae: "Arrowverse" is the term used by production team members (officially confirmed), media outlets, and fans to group together the television series that all exist within the same fiction universe/multiverse. The "in-universe" dab for any of these characters would be (Earth-1) or (Earth-#), because within the shows, each character knows they exist on 1 of 53 fictional earths, but have no idea what "Arrowverse" is. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:56, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: Moved to John Diggle (Arrowverse) - as I said in the relist, there was consensus for a move of some sort, but a rough split on whether it should be Arrow or Arrowverse. It looks like there is a slight edge in favour of Arrowverse though. Per user:Favre1fan93 I will also move Oliver Queen (Arrow) to Oliver Queen (Arrowverse)).  — Amakuru (talk) 13:14, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]



John Diggle (character)John Diggle (Arrowverse) – Or John Diggle (Arrow). But either way, John Diggle (comics) isn't the right option since that now redirects to List of DC Comics characters: J, considering the Arrowverse version and comics version are largely different from each other.

Joeyconnick, I think you didn't notice I listed "John Diggle (Arrow)" as an alternative solution. Besides, Smallville's Ollie doesn't have his own article; it redirects to Justice League (Smallville). Since Smallville's universe had no official name, I think all articles related to it are titled "XYZ (Smallville)". But "Arrowverse" is the official name used by the creators. Still, "John Diggle (Arrow)" isn't so bad of an option. --Kailash29792 (talk) 17:04, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Eventhough as shown, reliable sources from TV- and geek-centric news sites to forbes and the producers themselves all use Arrowverse (as the policy you cited requires) or did you mean just the regular Wikipedia article about Neologism? (regardless though, saying the "Arrowverse" is a recent word is sort of a non-argument, of course it is, Arrow itself only debuted in 2012 with The Flash being the second show only 2 years later). --Gonnym (talk) 17:18, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: There is disagreement on what really should be the title of this article. Either way, I hope it doesn't end with "no consensus" since I don't mind if it is moved to John Diggle (Arrow), which is what most users are voting in favour of. Kailash29792 (talk) 17:30, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham appearence

[edit]

Is the world in Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, part of the Arrowverse? If it isn't, it should not be under John Diggle (character)#In other media, but under John Diggle (character)#Other versions as the "In other media" sections deals with the Arrowverse version of John Diggle and his appearences in other (non TV) media. --Gonnym (talk) 20:40, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As per the source in the article the DLC pack is explicity of the characters from the show Arrow, as opposed to any other version. AutumnKing (talk) 21:45, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, thanks for that! --Gonnym (talk) 21:50, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
