[edit] 100 Greatest Villains (Wizard magazine)

This article is basically nothing, it lacks notability, content, importance, and ontop of all that the content it has is very unencyclopedic, I certainly don't think this warrants a wikipedia article. Blueanode (talk) 22:18, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

• comment might this not infringe the copyright of Wizard magazine? If so, it should be speedy deleted. --Paularblaster (talk) 00:02, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
  • The last 90 villians were snipped off to minimize copyvio concerns. I think this is covered, but I am not an expert on this issue. / edg ☺ ☭ 00:50, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete I doubt it's a copyvio, since the list was in the July '06 issue, and this is the type of thing that magazines want to be noticed for and quoted from, hence, not copyrighted. I agree with nom, however, that it's unencylopedic. Essentially, it's a description of an article in a magazine that most people have never heard of, let alone read.

  • While I cannot make a case for keeping this, I'm leaving a merge proposal on Talk:Wizard (magazine) to see if editors there think it is worth incorporating into that article. If the list is determined to be a serious copyright infringement, the merge can be called off. / edg ☺ ☭ 00:49, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete I am the creator of the article. It was my first wikipedia article and was more of an experiment than anything else. ArdClose (talk) 00:46, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per ArdClose, and notability concerns. -FrankTobia (talk) 03:14, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. A list in a magazine is unlikely to be notable unless it's of some major significance. Having said that, I have no objection to a merge on this one. It's just that third-party sources about this particular list are very unlikely to exist.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 05:02, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
