Request to delete

I'd like to request this page, and the Scott Pilgrim disambig page, to be deleted and their information merged onto the main Scott Pilgrim page. Most of this article is canon information, not fandom, and given how much overlap there is between the comic, film and game, not to mention they're small fandoms to begin with, I think it would make more sense for Scott Pilgrim to have a singular page.

Right now the page is canon-heavy, yes, but it could be fleshed out with further fandom detail - however I don't know enough about the fandom to say whether there is enough to document on a separate video game page (and movie page). Maybe Flyingthesky could weigh in on whether they have other fandom content planned for this page? --enchantedsleeper (talk) 23:48, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
this one at least has a different page bc there was an extremely long and involved fan campaign to get this game back spanning ten years which is, as far as i know, almost entirely unrelated to the actual rest of the scott pilgrim fandom. the game very much has its own fandom with its own concerns, because the push to bring it back mostly came from video game/archival preservation fandom since the game was the most egregious example of something simply disappearing unless you happened to own a ps3 with the game downloaded. these ps3s were going for insane amounts on ebay at one point and i've been trying to hunt down evidence of these things but it's taking a while since the game DID get re-released and now that information is getting mixed into what i'm trying to look up. i also don't think the fandoms are that small? they're just more curative than transformative so by necessity the pages end up slightly more canon-based since the fandom itself is more concerned with the preservation and categorization of the different versions. that's not really "fandom" in the sense of shipping and writing fic or making fanart, but it is still fannish behavior. - flyingthesky (talk) 04:15, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
In that case, I'm very happy for us to keep this as a separate page. (We could potentially still have the comics and movie fandoms on the same page, but that one's probably a conversation for the main Scott Pilgrim Talk page). As far as I'm concerned, "Fandom" is anything that fans do - so it doesn't have to be about fanworks to count as fandom, as long as it's framed from the perspective of talking about what fans did. --enchantedsleeper (talk) 20:56, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
