The result was merge to List of Final Fantasy titles. The merge has already been done, if anyone feels there is more info that should be merged, it's still available in the history. Arkyan • ^(talk) 20:18, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adventure Log

Adventure Log (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

NN Webcomic. This is apparently an officially endorsed comic from Square Enix relating to Final Fantasy XI but, I don't think that can establish notability just yet, considering that the strip was only launched this week, and there's only one strip out. There is no way that we can support an article beyond a microstub from the available sources at this time. Delete. Mangojuice^talk 19:31, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

• Merge with Final Fantasy XI. Not enough information for an individual article, but should definitely be mentioned in the FFXI article. Kariteh 19:54, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
  • I thought about that, and should have said: I don't think a merge is appropriate: it's tangential to Final Fantasy XI, there's no good place for it. I couldn't find a good merge target, or I would have done it myself. The best merge target was List of Final Fantasy titles, which includes spin-offs and such, but nothing of this type is there.

    • All the official comic strips are listed at List of Final Fantasy titles#Novels and manga. This one just happens to be webpublished, but it should still be mentioned. Kariteh 20:02, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Except, all of those are novel/manga adaptations of previously existing stories. This would be a fan comic, except for its official status. But it would probably need its own section at least. Mangojuice^talk 20:08, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
      • It demonstrates FFXI's cultural influence and should most certainly be included. EDIT: I mean of course, included in FFXI's article, not List of Final Fantasy titles#Novels and manga. --—ΔαίδαλοςΣΣ 20:16, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - although an "official" webcomic, it only has one comic release thus far, it will only be published once a month, and extremely minimal mention outside of SE's own website. I was only able to find one site that was not a web forum mention it, and it was a FF website itself. At best it should be merged per Kariteh's comments above, but it most definitely is not notable enough for its own page. I would still vote delete. --Rolks 20:02, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
• Merge - Most certainly should be included in Final Fantasy XI, but until it has third party hosting, or notable published attention beyond SE's pandering, etc. then it cannot assert Notability as a seperate article. --—ΔαίδαλοςΣΣ 20:16, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - It only has one comic release and thus little to no article content, but this should not count against it. Being an official SE webcomic, it is reasonable to assume that one day it will have plenty of content. Better to keep it as a stub now, and await the day that more content becomes available (which is predictable as it's updates are scheduled), than to delete it now and hinder/delay future creation of such an article. This is, of course, assuming that the article first can satisfy WP:N and WP:V --—ΔαίδαλοςΣΣ 20:16, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: Any official Final Fantasy work, even with one episode so far, would pretty much get an article for any other medium. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 00:18, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
• Merge it somewhere, I don't really care where. If it turns out it doesn't actually deserve to be anywhere, it can be deleted from the merge target without AfD. Axem Titanium 21:29, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
• Merge: This WILL get larger; and if deleted, it will suffer from repeated speedy deletes and/or AFDs because it has been deleted before. (Justyn 23:32, 19 April 2007 (UTC))
• Merge per all of the above. Sjones23 00:34, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
• This has been listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Webcomics/Deletion. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 11:36, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been added to the list of Final Fantasy related deletions. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 10:20, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
• Note to closer: Adventure log is now mentioned at List of Final Fantasy titles, and the level of coverage there is currently about the max that can be sourced. Mangojuice^talk 15:36, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Why delete anything that is informative and non-offensive? I personally went, looked at the comic, was curious, and so came here, and was able to find out it is it the official comic for FFXI, which is what I was wondering about. All of you that sit on here and cry about things needing to be deleted are (Personal attack removed). Wikipedia's purpose is to be the most complete font of knowledge on the internet is it not? IT IS NOTABLE. 66.189.217.87 16:52, 24 April 2007 (UTC)Ksirafai
