Talk:Marvel Tales (comics)

message: " That feature [Marvel Boy RPs] was dropped, along with the page-count, with #17."
No.  Marvel Boy was dropped, but the page count remained at 68, including covers.  (I just counted #17, and Overstreet says the page count dropped with #34.)
I'll let someone else handle the edit. Dmforcier (talk) 20:53, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Factual error 

message: There's already a page for Marvel Science Stories, and I propose to create a separate page for Marvel Tales (1934 magazine).  Then I think it would make the most sense to remove the information about those two magazines from this page and replace that text with a hatnote pointing to those articles.  Any objections before I make the change? Mike Christie (talk - contribs -  library) 22:30, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Now done as Marvel Tales and Unusual Stories.  I think the best thing to do for disambiguation would be to have a Marvel Tales (disambiguation) page and no primary topic, and will suggest that here soon. Mike Christie (talk - contribs -  library) 03:29, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plan to remove the non-comics from this page 

message: Are there any objections to moving this article to Marvel Tales (comics)?  I would like to create a dab page, Marvel Tales (disambiguation), and have it list this article, Marvel Science Stories, which went under the title Marvel Tales for a couple of issues, and Marvel Tales and Unusual Stories.  I don't think any of them are the clear primary topic.  If there are no objections, I'll move the article next week. Mike Christie (talk - contribs -  library) 12:04, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed move 

message: :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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: No consensus. There was discussion below about a possible AFD on one or both of the two articles mentioned, with the RM being held up until that was resolved. However, since the AFD is not yet forthcoming, the RM should be terminated for now. As and when the dust has settled, it can be re-proposed if necessary.   — Amakuru (talk) 16:26, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Marvel Tales →  – There are two other magazines that Marvel Tales can refer to, currently at Marvel Science Stories (which was titled Marvel Tales for part of its run) and Marvel Tales and Unusual Stories.  I think there should be a dab page, and as none of these is clearly the primary topic the dab should be at Marvel Tales, not Marvel Tales (disambiguation), which is where it would have to go now.

thread_title:  Requested move 11 January 2022 

message: , are you going to AfD this?  If not, I'll go ahead and make the disambiguation page for the pages as they now are, with this one as the primary target. Mike Christie (talk - contribs -  library) 18:41, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Alright, I listed it up at AfD.  ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:06, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I also noticed that the user who initially created the page is now banned, so it is dubious whether they ever bothered to make sure it was notable in the first place.  ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:11, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  - Tenebrae's banning was an epic, dramatic affair that had to do with an undisclosed COI and self-promotion over the course of about 10 years. However, part of the reason it lasted as long as it did was because he did a lot of productive work unrelated to that COI. I'm comfortable vouching for most (if not all) of his contributions in the comic book field. FWIW. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:38, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  AfD? 

message: It appears the AfD on this article is likely to be closed as keep, so just posting this here as a suggestion to any interested editors: I think this article should be three articles, assuming all three comics are independently notable.  There's no reason for any of the three mentioned here to be covered in the same article as any of the others; that's what disambiguation pages are for.  The material on the Atlas Comics title should probably be moved to Marvel Mystery Comics with a redirect from something like Marvel Tales (Atlas Comics), but the others would have their own pages, I'd guess.

The result of the move request was: page moved.  wbm1058 (talk) 00:33, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Marvel Tales →  – This move was requested recently but deferred because of the AfD.  The AfD has concluded as keep, so to disambiguate between this article, Marvel Tales and Unusual Stories, and Marvel Science Stories, for which Marvel Tales was an alternative title, we need a disambiguation page.  I think it should be at Marvel Tales, hence this move request.  If one of the possible targets is a primary article for the dab, then we would create Marvel Tales (disambiguation) instead, but I don't think any of these are good candidates for the primary target.

text: I think the flip book series should stay right where it is, at least until considerably more content is added about the topic. Both series have in common that they are primarily Spider-Man reprints. – wbm1058 (talk) 14:36, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

text: Thanks for doing all that clean up.  I know nothing about the comics side and wouldn't be comfortable making those edits; my expertise is limited to the 1934 magazine.  Maybe leave a note at WT:COMICS asking for someone to help out? Mike Christie (talk - contribs -  library) 18:01, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
