Talk:Conan (Dark Horse Comics)

Second Series...

I know it is an arbitary renumbering, but does this page need to be restructed a little to reflect the two different series. There's a lot of general and backgorund stuff that might be specific only to the first series... Duggy 1138 22:19, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Merge

Merge the two Dark Horse articles, no reason for these to be seperate. Conan (comics) should also be moved to Conan (Marvel Comics) and create a disambiguation page at Conan (comics) -- 69.182.199.231 (talk) 19:36, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

There is very much a need for two articles. Three actually, once "Conan The Cimmerian" starts up. The (admittedly badly named) Conan (Dark Horse comics) covers the two ongoing series, the one shots, the mini-series, and collections. The Conan (Dark Horse comic) is about one of those ongoing series.

As to the other points about Conan (comics) and Conan (Marvel comics) it sounds like it is worth considering, but not here, on one of those pages.

It is far more confusing than that as we currently have:

• Conan (Dark Horse Comics)
• Conan (Dark Horse comic)
• Conan (Dark Horse comics)
• Conan The Cimmerian (Dark Horse comic)

We surely don't need then all and I'd have thought we could get this down to 1 or at a push 2 (I'd say 1 and we can then look into splitting others off). (Emperor (talk) 15:13, 16 March 2008 (UTC))

• Observations
  • Conan the Barbarian (disambiguation) serves as a current dab hub for the character. That lists (comics) as both Marvel and Dark Horse. Based on that, moving Conan (comics) to Conan (Marvel Comics) and recasting (comics) as a sub-dab makes a lot of sense.
  • For all intents Conan (Dark Horse Comics), Conan (Dark Horse comic), and Conan (Dark Horse comics) appear to be the same article. They should collapse to Conan (Dark Horse Comics), properly dabing to the company. in the merge, the (Dark Horse comic) should lose the issues table. Wikipedia is not a comic book index.
  • Conan The Cimmerian (Dark Horse comic) Looks like some one is setting up a second index. At best it should fold into the DH Conan article. At worst it doesn't need the parenthetical — Conan The Cimmerian doesn't exist.

  • Ah a but just to catch you out there is already Conan (Marvel comics)!! What I'd suggest is we cut Conan (comics) down to more of an index, with the Dark Horse and Marvel sections providing an overview (this leaves it open for other versions - I can't guarantee there aren't some in other languages and it allows for spoofs, etc.). Then merge all Dark Horse articles to Conan (Dark Horse Comics). Also move Conan (Marvel comics) to Conan (Marvel Comics). (Emperor (talk) 17:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC))
    • I agree, only 3 pages are needed at most. Conan (Dark Horse comic) should remain the lone Dark Horse page as it has the longer edit history and its the page the others were split from.
