With respect to BD2412's revert, I rewrite my message here.

This is a WP:CFORK of Spider-Man. A merge is not really required for this one. This does not meet WP:SPINOFF. The franchise the character is associated to is a comic book adaption rather than original creation. Though a popular character, there are many adaptions of Spider-Man/Peter Parker, and they don't really have any notable depth. WP:UNDUEWEIGHT should be considered in this case. Even the franchise (trilogy) itself is merged into Spider-Man in film. Therefore, this might also be considered a FORK of Spider-Man in film, since Spider-Man and Peter Parker are alter egos and the protagonists of the plot. Furthermore, there are no stand alone pages of the character Peter Parker himself (redirects to Spider-Man). THE NEW ImmortalWizard(chat) 17:43, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• ImmortalWizard, my recommendation is that if you feel like this should be deleted then you should seek out deletion via AfD, as this is something that would likely need to be discussed. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 17:45, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• AFD = Wikipedia:Articles for deletion; the procedure for nominating an article for deletion is spelled out there. bd2412 T 17:46, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• I support a standalone article for Peter Parker as portrayed in Raimi's films, though I think there could be a better article title since this can seem like it includes post-Raimi incarnations. When it comes to writing this kind of content in various scopes, there will always be some kind of redundancy. This kind of scope allows for a focus on character-centric content, putting aside production and reception details that are not directly pertinent to the character. Doing a search engine test, it appears that the book Make Ours Marvel: Media Convergence and a Comics Universe has a chapter called "Playing Peter Parker" that is devoted to Peter Parker in films (though not just Maguire).

It should be following how most other media versions of character use, such as Tony Stark (Marvel Cinematic Universe). When I first clicked the link I assumed it was about the film series named Spider-Man, not the character.★Trekker (talk) 06:53, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So is anyone going to comment? Because this current name is confusing as I said.★Trekker (talk) 21:15, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What name do you purpose? Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 02:02, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Peter Parker (Sam Raimi film series), Peter Parker (Sam Raimi trilogy), Peter Parker (2002 Spider-Man film series) or Peter Parker (Spider-Man trilogy).★Trekker (talk) 22:06, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It was originally the first one you posted but consensus was to change it. Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 22:10, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire portrayal)?. Enjoyer of World (talk) 23:42, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would be ok with that, but I have a feeling others might disagree.★Trekker (talk) 11:54, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That was clearly an odd rather poor choice. This new title is just confusing and not in line with how all the other superhero characters are done on Wikipedia.★Trekker (talk) 11:54, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Favorieguy2000: The argument you provided had already been refuted by me, but I'm not going to revert you further and start an edit war until we've discussed it properly here. If we look at other articles on film versions of comic book characters that existed before this article, we see that they list only the writers of the first film they appeared in on the |Adapted by= parameter. See as examples: Tony Stark, first film Iron Man written by Mark Fergus, Hawk Ostby, Art Marcum, and Matt Holloway; Steve Rogers, first film Captain America: The First Avenger written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely; Thor, first film Thor written by Ashley Miller, Zack Stentz, Don Payne, J. Michael Straczynski, and Mark Protosevich; and lastly Peter Parker, first film Captain America: Civil War written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. See that none of these include the director or the first film, or any of the writers of subsequent films in which the characters have appeared. Now, you have to provide an argument for why all of these examples are in fact wrong and should be changed, in which case we would need to expand this discussion, or an argument for why we should treat this article differently from all of these examples I just gave.

@Facu-el Millo: Weeks ago, you said you were happy to discuss whether Friend or Foe should be considered the last appearance for this adaptation of Spider-Man. Now yes - the tie-in movie games part of the marketing for all three movies; and shouldn’t count. Friend or Foe however was a separate entry in the video game franchise. It came out months after SM3 and wasn’t tied to any of the movies. Now I know it’s only a video game and that most people who watched the movies would have never heard of it. But technically its the last we seen of this rendition of Spider-Man. Looking forward to hearing your opinion. The Optimistic One (talk) 22:32, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think the appearances should be the actual relevant ones, not the ones that were technically their last appearances. I think it is an issue of due and undue weight, and this is a film character, whose notable appearances are in the films. According to the lead of the article on the video game, The game borrows characters and designs from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, with a plot that is non-canon to the films. That doesn't seem like an appearance that's notable for inclusion as the last appearance of the character in the infobox. —El Millo (talk) 22:39, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is bad to have a mention of no way home such easily visible on this page. i tried to look up this film series the day before i saw no way home and the fact that it said he reprised his role made me upset because i was hoping to avoid confirmation of this. i think any mention of no way home should be in a drop down menu, at least for a while. HuffGLaDTem (talk) 21:46, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:SPOILER, and looking up anything related to this just before going to see the film is obviously risky. —El Millo (talk) 21:56, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn’t Tobey Maguire’s take on the character have his internet memes be referenced in the article, especially with stuff like Pizza Time (from the Spider-Man 2 video game), ‘my back’ being referenced in No Way Home, and his changed persona in Spider-Man 3?
