Franchise.The X Files is over a year and a half older and has more than 13 inbounds. Plus I have no idea where the name "PhileVerse" comes from.

"Phile Verse" Seems to have originated here. The only references that duckduckgo found are here, and on a couple of sites that have forked the trope database.

Perhaps wait to see if there is any other feedback, but I'm thinking that there's no need to redirect it a all... just cut the page when done.

I'm going to ask TrustBen, the user who created Franchise.Phile Verse, where that name comes from.

I probably did find the term on this wiki. I was under the impression it was in wider use, but searching on both Google and Duck Duck Go only turns up results from this site and that weird "All the Tropes" mirror. Anyway, it's totally okay by me if the pages are merged. Should the Phile Verse Actors page be moved as well?

^ Absolutely. Probably to X Files Franchise Actors because "X-Files" typically refers only to the original show.

Ok, I moved the franchise actors page and cutlisted Franchise.Phile Verse and UsefulNotes.Phile Verse Actors.

Merged the page content as best I could, though I invite anyone who knows about the franchise to add what I've missed or better yet, give some of the works their own page
