Proposed split
editI'd suggest dividing this in half, by company - so that the Marvel Universe cosmic beings get one article and the DC Universe beings get another. Opinions? Suggestions for names for the new articles are also welcome--Mrph 20:43, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

edit- Split --Mrph 20:43, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
- Split - Cosmic being (DC Comics) and Cosmic being (Marvel) being obcious split with a disambig type page at current seems most obvious. - Waza 06:20, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- Split - ...into Cosmic entities (DC Comics) and Cosmic entities (Marvel Comics) with a disambig type page Cosmic entities and the following redirect pages:
- Cosmic entity (DC Comics) -> Cosmic entities (DC Comics)
- Cosmic beings (DC Comics) -> Cosmic entities (DC Comics)
- Cosmic being (DC Comics) -> Cosmic entities (DC Comics)
- Cosmic entity (Marvel Comics) -> Cosmic entities (Marvel Comics)
- Cosmic beings (Marvel Comics) -> Cosmic entities (Marvel Comics)
- Cosmic being (Marvel Comics) -> Cosmic entities (Marvel Comics)
- Cosmic entity -> Cosmic entities
- Cosmic beings -> Cosmic entities
- Cosmic being -> Cosmic entities
Discussion
editDecision
editClosed with a decision to split - Cosmic entities (Marvel Comics) and Cosmic entities (DC Comics) seem to be the best names. There's already a List of DC Comics cosmic entities and a List of Marvel cosmic beings - but Infinity Gauntlet collectively calls 'em "cosmic entities" at least once, so I suspect that's the better choice. My reading of the page naming / plurals discussion is that "entities" is more appropriate than "entity" in this case. Opinions? --Mrph 11:22, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
In DC comics
editCosmic entity (DC Comics) was recently deleted at AfD, with all its incoming links and redirects likewise deleted [1] [2]. However, there appears to be an existing article chapter that covers the topic – DC Universe#Cosmic entities. Like much of the rest of that article, it doesn't have inline refs (though that doesn't necessarily mean it's unsourced: the article has a list of sources at the end). Still, shouldn't that be an obvious target? Pinging Mhawk10 and BD2412, who commented on the possibility of redirecting and merging. – Uanfala (talk) 08:14, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- To be honest, if I had seen that entry I would have !voted to redirect instead of delete. — Ⓜ️hawk10 (talk) 04:25, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- And now there's a similar situation with Cosmic entity (Marvel Comics), which got deleted as a result of the recently concluded Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cosmic entity (Marvel Comics): there's an obvious target in the section Marvel Universe#Cosmic entities though it again doesn't seem to have in-line references. – Uanfala (talk) 08:33, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
