In the seven years I've been contributing to this site, we have never created pages for elements from unreleased material, at least of this scale. I think it's worth taking into account that the Marvel Database has evolved ever since. I mean, the very first articles didn't even use a template back in 2005. Nowadays, the current generation of admins and mods are trying to make the wiki properly abide to its own guidelines. For instance, naming conventions are being enforced now more than ever. Regular users are no longer allowed to create TRNs since many times they would just occupy a designation and leave it there without properly fleshing out its contents.

Back on topic, I don't see the benefit of creating these pages for Into the Spider-Verse. Even if we allow the creation of these pages, their content should still follow our rules. No speculatory content will mean that the History section will have to be empty if not mostly empty. The rule to write articles from an in-universe perspective also means the History section can't be just filled with "X is a character set to debut in the upcoming Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse film." In my vision, these pages will be stubs with little more than an infobox and an image.

The bottom line here is that none of the members I talked with are happy with the proposition. It's hard to just get along when we feel that our concerns are ignored, that we're being nagged at, and that our capacity for leadership is being questioned simply because we're not agreeing to make an exception. At least in my part, my reluctance to agree doesn't stem from an unwillingness to be flexible, but rather that I don't see a benefit from it.

I'm just going to cap off reiterating how I ultimately feel about this situation, that this proposition was more of a courtesy and a "just-so-you-know" rather than an actual request. I feel that we're not being allowed to decline and I know that the pages will get made despite three administrators and two mods being against the idea.
