I mean there is another option. Merge the Thunderbolts that aren't John or have their own page into MCU: Avengers, which is pretty small. Them plus Joaquin for Sam's team would put it over 100,000 bytes which I would be more fine leaving a page at.

Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadMost of the CSPs that have been cut/split because they didn't meet "last resort" standards ended up being restored anyway (including Ross in particular!) because as it turns out that their existence actually benefited to keep us away from "last resort" scenarios. So I'm not convinced by the "avoid making CSPs" argument.
If the mods have a problem with a CSP existing, they can come down and say it themselves. Otherwise, I say we do what's good for us in the long term. And making a CSP for John would solve a lot of problems.
With that said though...this idea isn't a bad one. If we don't mind spoiling the asterisk at this point that is.

Considering Thunderbolts* just came out, I’d hold off on that idea considering them being branded the New Avengers is a spoiler for the end of the film
Yeah, I asked about it earlier and it wasn't answered. I think it works well.

Aren't the New Avengers different enough a team that Sam is suing them over it? I'm not sure how much sense it would make to put them together. Also that would be jumping over the spoiler issue, which I'm not sure we should do just yet, even though Marvel themselves are filling spoiling it already.
My main concern is the spoiler aspect of it all.
But at the same time, only having one character (Joaquin) have a folder would look really weird.

Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadNot if we folded Pietro back he only has like 50k bytes and won’t be coming back anytime soon. Maybe Rhodey too? There’s no current plans for him and his variant only has a few bytes. This folding back the Thunderbolts/New Avengers to that page also brings to mind another dilemma: it's titled the same as the Avengers team on Age of Ultron and Civil War.
Also, I’m in the process of removing the Avengers variants below so expect that page to lose a sizable amount of bytes.
Feels more appropriate to put them there as some organizations were on those multiversal pages like HYDRA on Multiversal Foes. I discussed it here
. It looks way too much like how when we didn’t have the Multiverse pages and we randomly just inserted variants below certain pages or below a character’s folder.
Also if we can’t fold CSPs yet, this feels like a bridge to cross much later.
To be clear, Marvel itself has been spoiling the Thunderbolts twist left and right recently. If that should mean anything to how we treat the character page, I am unsure.
Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadIf Marvel is spoiling it left and right, then sorry to the poor bastards who haven't already seen it then. I guess we can just treat them as the New Avengers then.

It's gonna be fun on the bun!Even if they are the New Avengers, that doesn't mean their time as the Thunderbolts stopped existing.
Also we don't know if 1) all of them will stay on until the next time they appear, 2) if they'll be any new members between now and next time
Ergo I still think it's better to treat Thunderbolts as the main point of focus until proven otherwise
Considering they are all confirmed to be in Doomsday, I think it is safe to say they will stay on.
There, more spoilers by Marvel
.
I think we should:
- Rename the page to The New Avengers. Do not move them to the Avengers page.
- Move Taskmaster to the Red Room
- Wait with John Walker a bit (I wouldn't be against splitting him off immediately though)
- Split off Bullseye
PS This was the moderator's post
I wrote them a PM before that:
PS2 I'd like to remind that:
- We got the warning for MCU: Multiverse with a lot of folders at 220k bytes;
- We did not get the warning for MCU: Loki Variants with 12 folders at 260k bytes. We agreed to split Loki off anyway.

Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous.
Again the former was because it had so many folders.
I still stand by 220,000 being a good point for most cases.
Am I good to move Joaquin to MCU: Avengers?

Sure go for it.
Regarding the Thunderbolts members, I did some checking and Walker's folder is actually longer than Yelena's entire page. So make of that what you will.

It's gonna be fun on the bun!Before we split, it might be worth going over the folder and seeing if it needs any cleanup for shoehorning or word cruft. I've noticed some behemoth entries in his section that are probably way too long.
regulation pigeonI believe the mods (or Septimus at least) have said that some notable change to character pages is coming, but we haven't actually got the details yet. So we're in an awkward limbo for now and whatever we do here, we may have to change later. The one thing we've been told is not to merge pages.
I don't think the Marvel spoilers should matter. We should still treat is as a spoiler, and given the name of the movie, I think it makes sense to leave it as "Thunderbolts".
It involves every character getting their own CSP
but otherwise no clue on what else that entails.
We can probably merge, but "it’d be pointless"
You and me both

I’ll lift my face, and run to the sunlight.

This is starting to become a case of Lumper vs. Splitter in an ideological sense and I think the argument is getting us nowhere.
It's gonna be fun on the bun!
