Lois Lane (DC Extended Universe): Lois Lane is indeed an encyclopedic character but its counterpart from the DC Extended Universe seems to be irrelevant in a real world perspective.  First thing first, this article does not meet the requirements of WP:NFILMCHAR : the character has appeared in three films, but not in a lead or titular capacity.  Also, this iteration of Lois Lane does not have an extensive coverage.

Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 11:22, 19 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] We meet again, old friend.  As discussed last time, I wouldn't do a straight up delete, but would merge to either Lois Lane in other media or Characters of the DC Extended Universe if it's decided this page isn't worth being a stand-alone article.  WuTang94 ( talk ) 01:24, 20 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Move to Lois Lane in film and merge in the film content from Lois Lane in other media (as we do with our separate articles for, e.g., Spider-Man in film and Spider-Man in other media ).  There is sufficient DCEU-specific content on casting and character development within the franchise that this content should not be erased from the encyclopedia altogether.  BD2412 T 19:24, 20 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep The article is a split article from the Lois Lane in other media page and is similar to other split articles like Lois Lane (Superman & Lois) and Lois Lane (Smallville) .  The character has notability and media coverage more than other DC Extended Universe characters.  Most people already know who she is from other films and television she appeared in.  Rootone ( talk ) 00:45, 23 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Uhm imo Lois Lane (Superman & Lois) is not encyclopedic too.  These information could be easily merged into another page (Lois Lane in film? Lois Lane in other media? Characters of the DC Extended Universe/of Superman & Lois?).  She doesn't have an extensive coverage like, I don't know, Superman.  Lois Lane (Smallville) is different anyway.  Redjedi23 ( talk ) 10:33, 24 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : extensive, in-depth coverage in mainstream RS seems to meet both WP:NFILMCHAR and GNG.  Discussion about a better title can continue outside AfD.  Owen× ☎ 10:35, 27 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Per WP:NFILMCHAR the character should have a lead or titular role in the three films.  Being listed in the cast doesn't made her a character with a lead role.  For instance, Pepper Potts (Marvel Cinematic Universe) has appeared in more films but she doesn't have a page.  Redjedi23 ( talk ) 12:19, 27 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] MCU Pepper doesn't have a page because we simply haven't initiated the debate to split off from the main page for Pepper Potts , but I do see some strong rationale to do so.  WuTang94 ( talk ) 00:41, 30 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Also, DCEU Lois was technically the female lead in two films, namely Man of Steel (opposite Superman) and Batman v Superman (opposite Superman and Batman), and the rules simply say that at least one of the three, not all three, have to meet that criterion.

Thanks, signed, Rosguill talk 15:25, 28 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete At the very least needs a good WP:TNT because the Fandom/Screen Rant-like writing and heading styles are non-standard and discouraged, and this could easily be two-three reduced paragraphs in the main Lois Lane article (and the Superman and Lois article has the same style issues; stop pushing this onto en.wiki, we don't have ads which require this awful style of formatting).  Nate • ( chatter ) 20:25, 28 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Undo split or re-merge, per MrSchimpf.  Deletion would be acceptable, but we should strive for WP:CONSENSUS -building and WP:ATD .  This can easily be reduced to two or three paragraphs in the main character article, and even then, the important details are already covered at Lois Lane and Lois Lane in other media .  There aren't enough sources to support a third article about essentially the same subject, and two articles are already questionable.  Shooterwalker ( talk ) 16:34, 31 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep the content as it's well-referenced and notable.  I would be supportive of merging/moving to a topic such as Lois Lane in film also, but that doesn't need to be decided here.
