Talk:List of Marvel Comics characters: K

Is the character Sal Kennedy related to the real Kennedy family?173.58.96.84 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:13, 16 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

I realize that Wikipedia does not police spoilers, but Wikipedia:Spoilers does indicate that encyclopedic intent must be used when posting a spoiler. There is no encyclopedic intent being used when adding to the article on Adrich Killian. Just a desire to spoil the movie for people. It is enough to say 'Adrich Killian was played by Guy Pearce in the 2013 film Iron Man 3.' 71.232.25.76 (talk) 02:31, 29 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

To be fair, the revelation regarding Killian in Iron Man 3 is probably the most significant thing to ever be done with the character. Perhaps it would be worth noting it (and indeed, expanding upon his role in the film) once it is common knowledge at a later date? 31.205.106.213 (talk) 13:59, 30 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

The comic book character Krakoa actually has many significant appearances in the Marvel universe and as such it should have its own separate article.--Paleface Jack (talk) 16:39, 27 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

I agreed with you on that one. --Rtkat3 (talk) 17:19, 30 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Please, for the love of all that is loveable, will someone familiar with this information translate it from gibberish into ENGLISH!?! It looks like it was written by a dyslexic six year old. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:37F5:5540:5C1F:161C:6940:A799 (talk) 01:48, 24 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

From my reading, Kaecilius was a very minor character in the comics, but it looks like he was given a fairly major film role, and appears to have the sources to prove it. I have not seen the film yet for myself, so I have no idea. So, I think we should keep this article for now, for some of the same reasons that Cloak of Levitation was kept at AFD. Now that the film is out, do we have any reviews that discuss this character? BOZ (talk) 18:19, 9 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

This is a very minor comics character, and as I've been stating, the article just adds a full infobox and section headings to all the content already here. The character is the "main antagonist" in the film, and most of the info regarding the character is appropriately added and sourced on the film location. There should not be much more to the character at this location. This is also based on events of the film, in which (SPOILERS) he dies. So, at least at this time, it isn't like Downey as Iron Man, who will be making more appearances in the films. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 18:27, 9 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Normally, I'd say having a large role in a film would make a character notable, but the film version is a composite of multiple (unidentified?) comic characters. I'm going the defer to Favre1fan93 and the other editors who have kept the MCU articles high quality. Argento Surfer (talk) 18:45, 9 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

I am backing up Favre1fan93 on this one because he is right about his claim. Especially when it comes to the articles of the Marvel Cinematic Universe characters even though some of them who first appeared there don't have their own articles yet. --Rtkat3 (talk) 17:19, 30 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Any further objections? If not, I'm going to merge back. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:03, 4 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

The article was merged back here. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 22:20, 11 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Character does not appear to meet WP:GNG. Comics version of character has only appeared in 11 issues according to Marvel Wikia, and film version has only appeared in one film and a few tie-in issues. Namenamenamenamename (talk) 12:24, 28 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

The film version I dare say might be notable. Definitely if you search top MCU villains and find some real world perspective on the character. I am not doubting that he is minor in the comics just like Aldrich Killian, Alexander Goodwin Pierce and Taserface are whle still having their own articles which should or should not be merged. But being in MCU films does help. That's my two cents. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 16:52, 28 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Reliable sources say the film version is a composite of several characters and just used the name. I think an entry on the list with a link to the film is sufficient. Argento Surfer (talk) 17:42, 28 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Reliable sources are still talking about the film version though and he has enough reception (more negative than positive) if done right. I know this is leaning against WP:Otherstuffexists but all these other articles I linked maybe need to be merged too if this one gets merged. Aldrich Killian would go here for one instance. He is just a one time comic book character. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 16:06, 29 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

I'd be fine with merging Killian and Taserface. I'm less sure about Pierce since he was in the 1990s film as well. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:35, 1 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Character definitely does not deserve his own page (only appears 10 times, according to Marvel Wikia), but information could be worth preserving due to film appearance. Namenamenamenamename (talk) 00:34, 22 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Support merge based on the film/video game appearances. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:34, 22 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Does not appear to meet WP:GNG, but info should be preserved. Namenamenamenamename (talk) 00:57, 22 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

I'd redirect to X-Men 2099. She only appeared in that series, and the article already has a good description of her. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:32, 22 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Yes, this should be merged. It appears to fit the requirements to be on List of Marvel Comics characters: K very much. I honestly don't know why they're not merged...seem pretty similar. I'd like to see further discussion, and hopefully it eventually gets merged. Alchemist-2 (talk) 22:27, 28 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
