Please add in that Tony Stark is canonically bisexual. It is an important part of his personality and it is important that his part in showing LGBTQIA+ representation is acknowledged. Calamityrogers (talk) 10:27, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide a cite for that, please? -- The Anome (talk) 10:41, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I just wanted to add that toward the end of Robert Downey Jr.'s career, he died in the movie "Avengers: Endgame" Thanks Antonyjoshua18 (talk) 03:18, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merger with Iron Man's armor

User:Dylanvt proposed this after User:Nightscream declined a PROD. A quick glance at the two articles indicates to me that 1) the material at the armor article is not adequately covered here and 2) the character article is already too laden with in-universe material to make a merge practical. I oppose the merger. In addition, I have been asked to help improve the armor article by User:Penguin7812, and my advice was for him to convert the prose at the armor article into a table that shows the armor name, it's first appearance, a brief not if there's something special about it, and a reference. Argento Surfer (talk) 18:11, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I proposed merging the armor article into this article, and I would add a further stipulation that the armor article be vastly reduced. Almost 100% of the content in that article is in-universe and lacks citations to third-party sources. Dylanvt (talk) 18:22, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Iron Man's armor in other media should probably be considered at this time as well, since it wouldn't make sense to have that stand alone if the main armor article gets merged. Argento Surfer (talk) 18:42, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm against the idea. The merger would just overflow with information and make it unreadable. The armors have enough potential to stand as its own article just as a list. Perhaps we can recreate the article to be more fitting.Penguin7812 (talk) 19:43, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The In other Media page should be merged but not the main page. But I am one who felt that the Spider-Man’s power and equipment (or at least an separate article on his web-shooters and Costumes) and Superman’s power should have stayed too. So maybe my opinion shouldn’t matter since they were deleted. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 20:07, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

But there is no denying that the article is excessive. It needs a trim badly. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 20:09, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - I also oppose the merge. @Argento Surfer: and @Jhenderson777: are right about their claims. If the info on the armors are to be trimmed, the important information about them must be spared. --Rtkat3 (talk) 20:10, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merging, but I note that Iron Man's armor in other media also has large amounts of unsourced material. Perhaps if both articles on Iron Man's armor are reduced to what is properly sourced, they could be merged together into a single article of reasonable length. bd2412 T 20:25, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'd support this. The "in other media" description doesn't work for me because it assumes the reader will know that means "non-comic media". Argento Surfer (talk) 20:37, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merger as per above, as it is one of the most notable non-character fictional elements in comic books and related media. BOZ (talk) 22:42, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Since the consensus is against the merger, I will proceed and remove the merger template now. Penguin7812 (talk) 05:11, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

musk is iron man?

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/feb/09/elon-musk-the-real-life-iron-man is this a one off article or has this comparison been made enough to have a mention in the cultural section?

Semi-protected edit request on 18 July 2019

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Iron Man. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

I really want to say something about Iron Man. Please let me edit. Thanks!
