Talk:Batman Versus Predator

YouTube links

This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed or you would like to help spread this message contact us on this page. Thanks, ---J.S (t|c) 03:41, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Canonicity

In his forward to volume 1, Dennis O'Neil states that the story is part of the Batman mythos. Also, the character of Mayor Lieberman re-appears in other Batman comics. Wouldn't this mean that the story is canonical? Kuralyov (talk) 17:01, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

As much as I enjoyed the series enough to actually desire such a thing to be reasonable, O'Neil is only one writer/editor out of many for DC. Consider that many "crossover" material is often considered non-canon, oftentimes conflicting with canon material. --68.111.251.45 (talk) 20:49, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't see why we should treat the Batman/Predator series as being non-canon until and unless we have reason to do otherwise. As Kuralyov points out, if anything we have reason to think that these stories are in continuity, not outside. Also note that there are other crossovers that are clearly in continuity, including JLA/Avengers and, at one time at least, Superman/Aliens. I'm going to go ahead and remove the statement from the article.YLee (talk) 02:03, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Book 2

I added a plot summary for Book 2, if that's alright. If anybody feels like it should be shortened, go right ahead- just, it seems important to include parts about the 7 hired assassins and the non-threatening Predators. --68.111.251.45 (talk) 12:25, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Split

Rather than deleting images, this article should really be split, each series warrants an article. FunkMonk (talk) 04:11, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

With the exception of the lead & the release table, the entire article is a plot-only description of a work of fiction. There isn't anywhere near enough real-world content to justify a split. And splitting in order to justify multiple items of non-free content is blatant gaming of WP:NFCC. These cover images clearly fail the following criteria of NFCC:

• 3a: Minimal usage. Multiple items of non-free content are not used if one item can convey equivalent significant information.

We already have the cover of the collected edition. This serves adequately for identification and shows the reader that this series is the topic of the article. Multiple covers of individual editions are not necessary to convey this.

• 8. Contextual significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding.

Since the covers themselves are not commented on in any way, and the article is basically just a long plot summary, the cover images do not significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic. Their omission does not hinder reader understanding of the article's content in any way.

I'm sorry, but there is no way that having 3 items of non-free content in an article this short, that consists of 90% plot summary, is going to fly with our non-free content policy. There is also no way that splitting an article that consists almost entirely of plot summary, with almost no real-world information, seemingly only to justify keeping non-free cover images, is going to fly either. Rather than futilely arguing over this, I suggest you try to improve the article by adding reliably-sourced, real-world information about the development, writing, art, and impact of these comics. That would actually be a service to the article. Shoving in additional cover images just for the sake of having them isn't doing the article any favors. --IllaZilla (talk) 07:41, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
