# Talk:Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One

These: [1], [2], [3], [4] might be helpful to cover some of the history of the phase and it's legacy.★Trekker (talk) 12:56, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

A centralized discussion regarding the images for this, the Phase Two, and Phase Three articles, can be found at Talk:List of Marvel Cinematic Universe films#Phase One, Two, and Three article images. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 14:46, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

What are the main things that need addressed to hopefully eventually nominate this (and the other phases) for GA? Does the reception need expanded to have something written instead of just tables? -- Zoo (talk) 18:49, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, I think it would be good to have general reception for the Phase similar to what we started at the Phase Four article, plus a general c/e and making sure we have all the development information that is available. - adamstom97 (talk) 19:50, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
@Adamstom.97 Alright, it's been a year since I originally brought this up. @Dcdiehardfan added reception today, and I'm not sure what else, if anything could be added to development. There's not many reliable sources about it that aren't already used and I think everything else is fine in the articles for the individual films.
I plan on doing a full page c/e, but is there anything else that still needs done/added? -- ZooBlazertalk 21:37, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
Other than a good c/e, which I am happy to take a look at after you have done yours, I think the main thing left to do is improve the Development section. At the moment it just has some background details on the films but doesn't mention anything about the creation of the MCU or the introduction of the Phase system. If we could add any more reception that specifically compares Phase One to the later Phases then that also would be good I think. P.S. when you changed all of the tables to have list-defined references you introduced reference errors over at List of Marvel Cinematic Universe films, we shouldn't use list-defined references for tables that are transcluded to other pages. - adamstom97 (talk) 21:54, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
Reverted the list defining. I thought it was weird that there were only a few refs not list defined. -- ZooBlazertalk 21:58, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
@Adamstom.97 I think I covered your suggestions for development. I used some info from the main MCU article for the early history and then added info about the origin of Phases coming from the comics as well -- ZooBlazertalk 22:52, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
@Adamstom.97 @ZooBlazer Just as a note, I want to add more to Reception as I also want to chronicle some retrospective criticisms of the Phase to ensure a balanced reception section, so just give me a few days or so until I do that. Dcdiehardfan (talk) 00:32, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
I went ahead and nominated the article for GA. I think @Dcdiehardfan's reception info from a couple months ago was the final bit needed before a nomination. Feel free to revert the nom if you disagree. -- ZooBlazertalk 21:28, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

Once the article is promoted to GA, we may be able to nominate it as the main article in a GT, depending on what we decide to include in the topic. Obviously the six movies would be included, but do we keep it as basic as that? Do we include things like the accolades for the Avengers or the main MCU article? Would the One-Shots main article or Item 47 need to be included? I wouldn't be opposed to at least including the Infinity Saga actors list and the Avengers accolades.
Would something like this make sense?

-- ZooBlazer 21:10, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

It should just be the films and this article. The scope for the phases should be the "main" content, which would be the films and eventually the D+ series/seasons, Special Presentations and (maybe) I Am Groot. The One-Shots were never really "announced" as "entries" in the phase, despite being able to be placed within them. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 00:33, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
I think the only other question is the title. Do we go with Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One to match this article or use something like Phase One of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? -- ZooBlazer 00:37, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
It might have to be "Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One films" (and if we ever get to Phase Four and beyond, "Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase Four films and television series"). - Favre1fan93 (talk) 01:12, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
