[edit] Elemenstors

Delete. Looks like someone trying to create a fan site inside a WP article. Quote: "We're all fans here". --Trovatore 03:00, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per nomination. 70.27.59.200 03:04, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

I’m not trying to make a fan site. All I’m trying to do is organize all the information available regarding the Elemenstors. I am certainly a fan of the fiction, otherwise why would I do this. I don’t think that should be a reason for deleting my entry though. I’ve catalogued a lot of good information here, some of it pretty obscure and hard to find. (Unsigned comment by 67.183.7.101)

• Delete: Regardless of intent, the article is set up to be a "wiki" in Wikipedia for fans. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia (not a web host), and it is supposed to contain articles, just as you would find in an encyclopedia, that contextualize and explain the significance, importance, function, and history of a given topic. It is not a fan site nor a place to collect raw information. It is second-order information, digested and shaped into articles with theses and development (hence WP not a Yellow Pages, WP not a web guide, WP not a school directory, WP not a fansite, WP not GameFAQs, etc.).

• Comment: Please make sure you don't make self-references and say things like "this article" and "this wiki". Also, include a lead which gives context. Right now I have no clue what it is you're talking about. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:40, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or So Weak as to be almost infinitessimal Merge. Fancruft regarding current (11/07/2005) Penny-Arcade storyline. --Syrthiss 13:31, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete fancruft. Burn it, burn it all. Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] :: AfD? 14:13, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete To the article creator: please create a Geocities site with the material. It seems like you put work into creating it and the right audience would enjoy it. It just isn't encyclopedic. Durova 14:51, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete original(?) fiction. There is no "Elemenstors" series, so there can hardly be "fans" of it or "information available" for it. See Penny Arcade as identified by Syrthiss. — Haeleth Talk 22:24, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: Of course it is real. Did you not see all the information I just posted about the Elemenstors!? I didn't just make all that up. I will try to make it more encyclopedic.

• Speedy delete as nonsense -- the content alone makes it obvious that this is poor-quality parody, and (before it gets suggested) unworthy of BJAOD --SockpuppetSamuelson 08:43, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Fancruft. *drew 23:29, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Someone misunderstood Tycho of PA. There is going to be a wiki project for this story. The creator of this article apparently didn't realize a "wiki" could be anything but Wikipedia. Kertrats | Talk 04:51, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete This is an attempt to use Wikipedia as a webhost for an external project; see the original announcement and the forum thread.--Dglynch 01:27, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Comment Fancruft. I would feel a bit guilty voting delete when all this can still stick around. I agree the pokemon articles are better written then this but that isn't really justification. As far as I'm concerned, this is as notable/encyclopedic as any of that, just not as visually attractive. -Haon 02:50, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete this is not encyclopedic material. Yamaguchi先生 09:13, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
