Misused: Dork Age

I think Dork Age really needs a clean-up. This is a complaint I've had for some time now. Many entries in the Dork Age article seem to be written just to express annoyance for annoyance's sake. Seriously, someone once wrote Brian Michael Bendis' Superman to The DCU sub-page before that story had just started publication and the Pokémon entry at the Nintendo section over at the Video Games sub-page is filled with very specific complaints about the saga and doesn't really elaborate as to why do they qualify for Dork Age. I think I know how to specify when does an entry in a long-running franchise qualifies as a Dork Age:

1. It has to be a critical and financial disappointment

2. Any changes it brought to the series must be undone by later installments

3. Whenever it's referenced by other entries, it has to be done in a negative manner.

What do you think?

Sorry, but I think we need a bit more concrete evidence of a problem than just assertions. So declining.
