Talk:Iron Man

Inclusion of trivia

Mussharraf Hossen Shoikot, you need to provide reliable sources to demonstrate that information is significant enough for inclusion. If characters such as 1872 Iron Man and Iron Maniac are not mentioned in any sources outside of the comics, then they're irrelevant and should not be mentioned in the article at all. You're currently giving them disproportionate weight by adding them. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 18:45, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

while this might be valid for 1872 version, iron maniac becomes significant on the count of the iron man which was evil or villainous and the end counts as a what if story where iron man is at end of life or dying. if mentioning strictly in secondary sources such as comic book review sites and or documentary books regarding comics is required then the vast majority of alternative versions of comic characters would have to be removed from wikipedia and that would make articles on comic characters not acknowledging that any alternative versions exist. would not that be the case? what makes the 2 versions before my inclusion significant and why the source stating them makes them significant? Mussharraf Hossen Shoikot (talk) 18:58, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Significance on Wikipedia is based on the sources. We don't decide what to add and then find sources for it; that's writing the article backward. We look at the sources and we add what they say. We don't get to just decide that "he's evil" or "he's dying" automatically makes something significant. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 19:08, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

what is your source of significance for alternate versions of any comic character? Mussharraf Hossen Shoikot (talk) 19:17, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

That they're covered in reliable sources beyond their appearances in the comic book stories. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 19:19, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

what are the reliable sources for alternate versions of any comic character? comic book review sites and or documentary books? if so, why not remove alternate versions entirely? how many alternate versions of most characters have secondary mentions? Mussharraf Hossen Shoikot (talk) 19:33, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

There's no obligation or requirement that alternate versions be included. Wikipedia is a summary of reliable sources. Comic book characters don't get an exemption from this. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 19:38, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

If you would like to help find reliable sources like the the versions mentioned above, the Tony Stark who operated as Ant-Man, and the Earth-6160 version of Tony Stark who operates as Iron Lad since Howard Stark operated as Iron Man, feel free to help find those sources to improve the Alternate versions section. I did mention something like this on your talk page at some point @Thebiguglyalien:. --Rtkat3 (talk) 15:42, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

At a certain point, you have to accept that some things are just WP:FANCRUFT. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 15:44, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

 Not done As it said in the edit request notice, you cannot request changes without describing the exact words you want changed. You also need to provide reliable sources to verify your changes. As it stands, these are unlikely to be added because this is a fictional character and it should not be written like a real-life biography. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 01:05, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
