DC Live Action Movies List

Primarily, when this was created as DC Live Action Universe it came across as an attempt to treat multiple television shows and films over a span of ~50 years like the DC Animated Universe. Even after it was moved, it retains the lead, such as it is, that promotes that position. It provides zero evidence that "DC Live Action Universe" is a term collectively used for these properties, much less in wide use.

The current title is more indicative of the already existing list at List of films based on DC Comics#Live-action films. It also contains, at odds with the title, a good chunk of List of television series based on DC Comics#Live action. At best, the page could be converted to a redirect to List of films based on DC Comics#Live-action films from a bad capitalization (the proper title would be "DC live action movies list"). But more realistically, since there there is no content here to save, it should just be deleted. - J Greb (talk) 22:42, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as the original deprodder. Sorry if I haven't noticed that a List of films based on DC Comics already exists. Under these circumstances this article results unnecessary (even if fixed) as a list, and the current title results just a way to bypass some evident issues (WP:OR in primis) as per nominator's analysis.

Delete per nom. It's a complete fabrication that these together comprise a "multiverse" (ultimately a single shared fictional setting and continuity; see Parallel universe (fiction)#Comic books) rather than just a bunch of completely separate, stand-alone or serial adaptations of various DC Comics properties. Capitalizing words alone also does not magically make them form a real-world term. postdlf (talk) 03:38, 17 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nominator, though it probably wouldn't hurt anything to just redirect it to List of films based on DC Comics. Fortdj33 (talk) 12:52, 17 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I think in this case it would actually cause harm to preserve this as a redirect, because the edit history is nothing but OR and the term is not a likely search term at all, particularly capitalized like it is. postdlf (talk) 13:46, 17 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete as duplication without useful redirect. --Rob Sinden (talk) 14:57, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
