[edit] Durlan

This seems pure vanity and no sources are given. D1Puck1T 01:16, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Considering who wrote the article I agree. Tarret 01:39, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• keep eh obscure but seems to be from a fictional race from DC Comics books. The source provided in the article confirms this with issues listed, and a Google search shows coverage from a bunch of sites such to make this unlikely to be simply made up by the people who wrote the article. See no reason to delete here. --W.marsh 02:02, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep It is a fictional race, but it's not that obscure. HalJor 18:27, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• Durlan, the fictional race is one thing, but a user has been changing the article to be about the real world municipality of Durlan, part of Nish (a town in Serbia). Since it's real world it makes sense to give it priority over the fictional race, but at the same time the Durlan municipality article was pure vanity.D1Puck1T 03:07, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Well the current version is about the fictional race. That an article has been vandalized or what have you isn't a reason to just delete the article. --W.marsh 03:10, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Suggest separate articles/disambiguation to separate Durlan, the fictional race as depicted in D.C. comments, from Durlan, the town in Serbia. Otherwise there'll be an endless edit war. This doesn't seem to be vandalism, just different users who have potentially legitimate claims to the same article title and perhaps don't know their options or how to resolve their dispute. --Shirahadasha 08:16, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy disambiguation, you don't get to say that very often, do you? - Mgm|^(talk) 12:55, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • On second thought, keep the article about the race. The article about the town states the obvious and the rest of it is filled with irrelevant stuff. Explain the use of disambiguation to User:Durlan, though. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:58, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• It's not a town. It's a suburb that is part of Pantelej, which doesn't even have more than a stub itself, yet. Uncle G 16:18, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Ach, I thought it was a town. My whole reasoning was that as a town it probably had better claim to the "Durlan" page than some obscure fictional aliens, and the aliens should be disambiguated to "Durlan (comics)" or something, but at the same time the town article should be deleted until better info came around. It made perfect sense to me at the time. But if it's just a suburb, well, never mind then.D1Puck1T 19:53, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep the one about the comic book race. User:Durlan hijacked the thing. The stuff about the part of a Serbian towm looks like very POV vanity, not notable, and unverifiable.18:54, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per above. Heimstern Läufer 19:59, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
