On the same note... Conan, Red Sonja and Kull the Conqueror, while licensed properties were all incorporated into the Earth-616 universe. Conan and Kull have ties to Atlantis and a lot of earl Marvel history (The Serpent Men made an appearance in an issue of Marvel Team-Up), Red Sonja has had a cross-over with Spider-Man (in Marvel Team-Up again, also the most recent cross-over by Marvel and Dynamite Entertainment is considered in continuity as it's a sequel to that old Marvel Team-Up story). That said, we should only cover the material that was published by Marvel.

Other licensed properties we should cover would be Doc Savage (he had a team-up of sorts with the Thing in Marvel Two-in-One), Fu Manchu (and the other related characters not owned by Marvel by virtue of their involvement in Master of Kung-Fu), Rom the Spaceknight, Godzilla and the Shogun Warriors. As all the characters were incorporated into the Earth-616 universe. But again, we should only cover the material published by Marvel.

I'd argue not covering stuff like Transformers, G.I. Joe, Alien Legion, Dr. Who or Planet of the Apes among others, even though they have earth-designations applied to them, they are mostly self contained universes that have had little to no interaction with the Marvel Universe proper. I'd say at the very most we create profiles for the universe itself, and then any Marvel owned characters that are exclusive to that universe (for example, Circuit Breaker in the Transformers universe is owned by Marvel and Ape-Slayer in the Planet of the Apes universe is also owned by Marvel) Anything above that I think is just duplication of work since there are already wikis out there that cover that specific franchise and covers the Marvel published stuff.
