Hello, it's been a while since we talked, and I would've reached out to you sooner, but I've been sick and recovering. I'm well enough to edit on TV tropes, but I was too ill to send you a message until now.

I wanted to discuss the topic of DC and Marvel subpages again. There's a lot of debate and controversy about these subpages, mainly because they have examples from multiple mediums, and people are complaining about the other mediums being on two pages. You even deleted and removed some of the examples on these subpages, which if is a violation of the rules regarding subpages, I understand.

But then I realized something that would solve the problem: keep the examples on the sub-pages while deleting the second examples on the other pages. Based on my interpretation of the complaints, this would solve the problem and keep the pages instead of erasing them completely. I started doing this in a number of the sub-pages, and so I would like some feedback of this idea.

I think it's a decent solution so long as you index the DC and Marvel subpages in the medium you're removing examples from — which you weren't doing initially, but I already sent you a message concerning that and have made edits to that effect myself.

Thank you for your thoughts, and don’t worry; I plan to index the DC and Marvel subpages in the medium you're removing examples from.

Right now, I need confirmation that this idea works. Can I go back to creating these pages and putting multiple examples from multiple mediums back into them, and can I re-create some deleted pages?

All I want is to discuss this topic, to be allowed to make my case and for an answer.

As I said, I'm in support.

First, I want to say thank you for your support, Clancy Gardener; I really appreciate it.

And as I said before, I wanted an answer to my idea. I just went to all the pages and put links on not only the comic book pages but also films, live-action pages, literature pages, Video game pages, and Western animated pages. I noticed that people have been putting examples from other mediums before, and someone else has also started putting these subpages on the different medium pages.

I would like to have a civil discussion and get an answer.

Multimedia folders and subpages are not encouraged, as they can make crosswicking difficult. See here and this recent discussion on "Disney".

I see no reason why DCU and Marvel Universe should be an exception. Split off a comic book specific subpage if it's long enough, sure. Lump every TV and cartoon adaptation along with it, unnecessarily complicated.
