ArtfulZen: As far as I know, the rule isn't actually stated anywhere, but I've asked warrior myself, and he's confirmed that the Marvel, DC, Disney, Nintendo, SEGA, etc tags are to be phased out.
craggle: disney, nintendo, sega, are different from marvel and dc. marvel and dc are universe tags, not producer tags. characters from marvel and dc appear in dozens and dozens of comics over their lifetime. do we tag this with every comic title jubilee's appeared in? no. we tag it with the most recognizable/appropriate to the picture, and marvel.
until it is a rule, keep the tags... even if the mods are stupid enough to break searching for and tagging marvel characters, there's no reason to help them until it actually is a rule. and once it is a rule, i'll have a lot more series tags to add to former marvel characters, to ensure these characters are tagged with series, character, and artist, as the tag rules currently demand.
the marvel tag is not against the rules. if you disagree, please find and point out the rule where it is stated.
