If Character A has made 15 appearances in Ultimate Spider-Man titles and 200 appearances in Ultimateverse titles overall, offering them in a merged/umbrella fandom requires a significantly larger canon knowledge than offering them in the originally nominated fandom would have.
That's an extremely good point. For instance, Johnny Storm has had a significant number of appearances in Ultimate Spider-Man, but prior to that he was one of the main cast in the Ultimate Fantastic Four comic. If the fandom is widened from Ultimate Spider-Man to including every single Ultimate Universe comic ever published, then somebody could quite reasonably request a story based on Johnny's role in Ultimate Fantastic Four - a comic that nobody actually nominated, and that people planning to offer to write Johnny in the Ultimate Spider-Man fandom are likely to be completely unfamiliar with.
It would be a real mistake to leave these fandoms merged - they definitely need to be separated, or a lot of people originally intending to offer the characters will be completely unable to do so.
