message: The entry for Trinity should be removed at least for the time being because although it will likely contain a major event, as of yet it has neither done so nor shown signs of said event.--Darknus823 (talk) 03:03, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Inclusion criteria 

message: Stumbled upon this page and honestly my first thought was to just nominate it for deletion per WP:SYN and general listcruft, but thought I'd ask editors who've worked on this first:  What is the justification for this page's existence?  It seems to (less efficiently) duplicate some of the navigation ability of the DC Comics Crossover infobox at the bottom of the page, with a few subjected "event" storylines (e.g. The Great Darkness Saga) thrown in.  As is, this strikes me as a list of "multi-issue DC stories I like" with the official crossovers thrown in to make it look somewhat, well, official.
And yes, I'm aware my characterization here is negative, but I hope editors will realize my intention is to ask a real question:  Why does this page exist based on Wikipedia's guidelines? -Markeer 22:06, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

and why does this one only cover the Modern Age?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.101.160.159 (talk) 03:46, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Who's the genius who wrote the synopsis in the Final Crisis box? I've read it already, so it didn't spoil it for me, but what about people who haven't and are just looking for a chronology of DC Universe events and stumble into reading that text?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.47.90.12 (talk) 18:31, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Final Crisis synopsis is full of spoilers! 

message: After reviewing the Cosmic Odyssey (comics) page, it turns out it's only a miniseries.  Though it is an event in which many characters participate, is it really a crossover?  Thoughts?  Jlr3001 (talk) 19:48, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Constantine: Lost guard of Azkaban 

message: I believe that we need to establish the definition of a crossover event in order to build a firm standard of what this list is for.  It doesn't matter to me how broad or narrow that definition is, only that one exists that can be pointed to (though I do have thoughts and opinions on that standard, just no big dog in the fight).  This is not to say that it can't change, only that changing it in the future would be easier once there is a solid definition to change.  
  
So, is a crossover event something that is more focused on the characters within the DC Universe or the publications themselves?  
I.E., is Cosmic Odyssey a crossover event (something I've brought up before) because it involves a lot of characters, or is it not because it is a single miniseries?  
  
Does Batman showing up in Superman's title constitute a crossover?  Or does the word "event" imply that it is something bigger?  Does the event have to spread over two or more titles to be considered a "crossover event"?  
  
I'm asking for opinions and discussion with regards to this standard.  Thank you all.

thread_title:  Definition of a Crossover Event 

message: I believe the list should either be chronological by publication or by company.  Since it is currently a mix of the two, I propose changing it to organized by company.  (Changing the other entries to match the DC/Marvel section.)  
Thoughts?
