Timeline

What does 1st, 2nd and past refers to in the timeline? We are talking about X-Men Origins Wolverine so what is the "2nd" of X-Men Origins Wolverine? Redjedi23 (talk) 09:08, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody knows? Redjedi23 (talk) 17:40, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Most likely, 1st refers to the first scenes that are set around the 1800s, while 2nd refers to the main setting of the film in the 1970s. —El Millo (talk) 19:51, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

This was a discussion at various times years ago when this franchise was still actively producing films, but now that it has ended and hindsight gives more clarification -- is this really the best title for the article currently? Wouldn't something along the lines of X-Men (20th Century Fox franchise) be a better title, given the fact that there is more within the franchise than just films? Secondly, the MCU is producing its own version of the X-Men. Thoughts?--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 14:19, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Better name is “X-Men (Fox Series)”; it changes one word “Film” to “Fox” and changes the meaning. Legion aired on Fx, the movies 20th Century Fox, and the Gifted on Fox produced by 20th Television. Doremon764 (talk) 06:01, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutemont! Could you open an official move discussion? 77.92.145.214 (talk) 15:14, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have always thought (film series) was an odd choice for disambiguation, considering Legion and The Gifted are part of the franchise, but X-Men (franchise) is far too ambiguous. I think X-Men (Fox franchise) is a fine name, but I am ambivalent — Fox officially calls the brand "X-Men Movies" (back then, they had a website and app), and the TV series are often overshadowed by the films in sources.

Per @Trailblazer101: Beginning WP:CONTENTFORK discussion in approval of Draft:Deadpool (film series) to main-space. Ma8am (talk) 18:46, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose No rationale provided. The Deadpool film series is part of the X-Men franchise, and its two films do not satisfy the criteria prescribed at WP:FILMSERIES. We do not have individual "series" pages for The Dark Knight trilogy, Spider-Man (2002 film series), or Avengers (film series) either. See WP:NOPAGE.

    This includes Deadpool 3 as well, which is not strictly part of Fox's X-Men film series, but I still think it doesn't qualify. —El Millo (talk) 19:17, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Since Deadpool 3 will mean the Deadpool film series will be a part of two franchises—the 20th Century Fox X-Men franchise and the MCU from Marvel Studios—maybe Deadpool in film? HotTwoDagon (talk) 19:21, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Unnecessary. Three films and a single incarnation of the character is not enough to warrant an "in film" article. InfiniteNexus (talk) 19:37, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose: This draft has been rejected multiple times and there is not much of a distinction that this is notable for a split, and I don't anticipate that changing anytime soon, even with a forthcoming third film. Its contents are already covered in other relevant articles. Trailblazer101 (talk) 17:15, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
