Deadpool

Dead pool is a fiction marvel character in comics and movies. He voiced by, and A acted by famous actor Ryan Reynolds. He looks very similar to spider man, with his eyes. But instead of the blue and red he has, red and black. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2C1:8000:A0F0:A1B5:6C61:480B:B7C6 (talk) 00:07, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting proposal to Wade Wilson (film character)

There is a clear consensus in favor of splitting --Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 20:09, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Draft:Wade Wilson (film character) should be split from this page into its own article. It both generally passes WP:GNG and passes WP:MCUCHARACTERS. (Oinkers42) (talk) 20:07, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

While I have no opinion on this split, I should note that WP:MCUCHARACTERS does not apply here because Deadpool is not yet an MCU character. InfiniteNexus (talk) 21:02, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do have to say that it is confusing, due to his inclusion on the task force's character article mainspace eligibility tracker. (Oinkers42) (talk) 22:16, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. I don't know who added it there, but Wade Wilson shouldn't be on there yet, at least not under "Eligible". I'll remove it. InfiniteNexus (talk) 22:48, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I feel as if Deadpool already has enough recognition with the success of his two films that it warrants a new article, regardless of his status in the MCU. We have have articles for Charles Xavier and Wolverine after all, the two most prominent characters in the original X-Men films. Jimania16 (talk) 22:07, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support, obviously, God, I thought this was already done. 2001:BB6:5255:E200:B42A:DC17:8081:DF8 (talk) 12:14, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support, his character is notable and seeing as how Wolverine and Professor X have their own film character pages AndrewGarfieldIsTheBestSpiderMan (talk) 16:13, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: There is no reason for film version of characters to have their own pages, and if anything all such pages should be deleted. DoctorHver (talk) 04:44, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request to edit citation needed for Super Powers section. Add https://www.superherodb.com/Deadpool/10-835/powers/ Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page). as a citation for the regenerative powers link.

Don't use citations for your memes and trolling

Citation 103 (added 3 Oct 2022) is unnecessary and doesn't relate at all to the info that cites it nor page topic. While it is funny (and does fit the spirit of Deadpool), Wikipedia is a information source, not a meme website. Post your memes somewhere else. 2001:8003:B03B:1A00:51AC:96BF:8100:2773 (talk) 09:48, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for catching that. The content was inappropriate and unencyclopedic, and has now been removed. InfiniteNexus (talk) 06:36, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
