Misused: Darkseid Duplicate

• Cleared out all the wicks except character pages.
  • Sent the laconic to the cut list.
  • Posted in the Pantheon thread about the change so they could figure out what to do with the two pages on their end.
  • requested the mention on the locked page X Meets Y to be removed

Took care of the rest of the wicks. All that's left is to make the edits to the page itself.

So, disambiguate?

Here's a draft:

You may be looking for:

• Demiurge Archetype: A character, often a villain, based on the Gnostic archetype of Demiurge.
• Evil Overlord: A highly powerful and influential despot who is often the villain of a story.
• Galactic Conqueror: An Evil Overlord who plans to conquer the universe.
• God-Emperor: A ruler who believes themselves, or is believed, to be a deity.

How'd I do? Any improvements that are needed?

I'd likely add

• A God Am I: A character who believes themselves to be on the level of a god.

But other than that, looks good.

Should Expy itself be on the page?

Oh right, that too. And along the same lines, Alternate Company Equivalent, since Thanos kept poopping up in the examples (and Darkseid/Thanos is the page image for that trope too)

Alright, draft 2:

You may be looking for:

• Alternate Company Equivalent: A character or product that bears a strong resemblance to that of a competing company.
• Demiurge Archetype: A character, often a villain, based on the Gnostic archetype of Demiurge.
• Evil Overlord: A highly powerful and influential despot who is often the villain of a story.
• Expy: A deliberate, unambiguous copy of another, older character.
• Galactic Conqueror: An Evil Overlord who plans to conquer the universe.
• A God Am I: A character who believes themselves to be on the level of a god.
• God-Emperor: A ruler who believes themselves, or is believed, to be a deity.

If a direct link has pointed you here, please correct it.

How'd I do now? (Admittedly I copied Expy a bit from the Laconic. That's OK, right?)

The draft and the suggested additions look good to me.

EDIT: I got so I didn't see. Anyways, I think it's good.

Copying from the laconic is fine as long as the laconic is accurate. That's how the TRS disambigs are often made.

Thanks for the advice.

Anyway I've disambiguated the page and sent the Playing With subpage to the Cut List, so we can close now.

Alright, closing.
