Spider-Man (2018 video game)Marvel's Spider-Man (video game) – The game is referred to by its full name in most promotional media, as well as the developer's official website, which is distinctive from various other Spider-Man video games or media in general. Per WP:COMMONNAME this should suffice as the appropriate title for the page. The boss 1904 (talk) 16:47, 29 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

I don't care what name is used but stop moving it without discussion. Also any resulting name should contain "(2018 video game)". Given that this is alternately referred to as Spider-Man 2018, Spider-Man PS4, and Marvel's Spider-Man, Marvel's Spider-Man (video game) could literally apply to any video game called Spider-Man, of which there are a few.

  • Oppose. The nomination misstates how WP:COMMONNAME works. It is not a question of what the "official website" and the "other video games" say, but how the game is referred to in independent reliable sources. Granted, there are some that use "Marvel's Spider-Man", but they don't appear to be in the majority. From the actual sources used in this article, we see numerous that simply call it "Spider-Man": [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] to name just a few. The fair-use image of the game cover used in the article also does'nt use the proposed name... It has the Marvel logo at the top, and then simply "SPIDER-MAN" as the title underneath. No 's in sight. Finally, "Spider-Man" is clearly more WP:CONCISE than "Marvel's Spider-Man" as well, and as noted above, the latter isn't a unique title either, meaning the proposal to remove 2018 from the disambiguator also isn't valid.

  • Oppose per Amarkuru. "Marvel's" is also likely just branding. — SirDot (talk) 01:55, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • Neutral: I do not think "Spider-Man" is the definitive common name. While it was mostly referred to as only "Spider-Man" or "Spider-Man PS4" at release, more and more sources started to call it "Marvel's Spider-Man" after its initial release. I think we can restart this discussion once its sequel releases, then we'd know if the branding becomes an important part of the game's title. OceanHok (talk) 11:37, 5 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Referencing style

edit

Why does this article use the referencing style it does? Can't seem to find a discussion anywhere. Seems converted contrary to WP:CITEVAR in Special:Diff/862186435 and Special:Diff/862259394. Non-standard style which makes editing harder, find content from ref harder, unnecessary duplication, caused Harv errors in history and other articles like Special:Diff/1134963753.

Spider-Man (2018 video game)Marvel's Spider-Man – the name by which it is now known, although in the previous RM discussion of 2022, prefixing of "Marvel" was seen as a branding tactic. The previous discussion concluded with waiting to see if the sequel retains the titling. The sequel released in October is called Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and similar game names follow the pattern.

The previous discussion also had an opinion about having "2018" as part of the title. "Spider-Man 2018" as a search term does bring up this video game as the primary topic, as a result of which the RfD discussion for the redirect Spider-Man (2018) recently concluded in retaining the redirect to this article. The RfD also concluded with a suggestion to rename the article to Marvel's. Jay 💬 16:30, 17 December 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Queen of Hearts ❤️ (she/they 🎄 🏳️‍⚧️) 16:14, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
