[edit] Sonic the Hedgehog (fandom)

For the exact same reasons as the Zelda fandom AfD; Cannot be independently verified, and therefore is WP:OR, unable to be neutrally written. Nifboy 07:08, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as WP:OR violation. hateless 07:20, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. A lot of the current article may be unverifiable as above, but there are verifiable facts there (such as alt.fan.sonic-hedgehog timeline). —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-06-29 08:20Z
• Strong Delete Totally unencyclopedic, only references are usenet postings! If there are any hidden gems of good verifiable information in there, they can be merged into the main Sonic article, but I didn't see any. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 09:29, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete nn, fancruft, completely unencyclopedic.--Jersey Devil 09:33, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete as non-notable fancruft that fails WP:NOR. Sure, the fandom exists, but the info in this article is unverifiable with reliable sources. --Coredesat talk 10:31, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. PJM 11:21, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete WP:NOR Nearly Headless Nick 11:52, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, not as OR, but because there's very little here that sets Sonic fandom apart from any other fandom. Every fandom has Mary Sues, every fandom has debates over shipping and yaoi/yuri, etc. - we could just cover that stuff in the main fandom article and have done with it, and anything distinctive about Sonic fandom can be mentioned in the Sonic the Hedgehog article.

• Delete. It simply isn't specific enough to be notable. You could talk about individual forums, but they wouldn't be notable enough to warrant their own articles, nor a compiled one either. Black-Velvet 10:13, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
