[edit] Bulungi

Bulungi (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

As cited in the article, this is not a real place, but one invented by "The Onion." Creator removed prod. FisherQueen 19:23, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, a fictional country which was the subject of a single Onion article is not notable. Demiurge 19:29, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

~~It may not be a real article, but Wiki does have a List of Fictional Countries, which includes Bulungi, and generally attempts to provide separate articles for all of them. If it was not notable, it would not be listed there. Merely being fictional does not merit deletion, as the many other fictional countries on this site prove. If it is deleted, you might as well delete the fictional countries list as well. Keep it. ~ JP

Doing this does not make Bulungi notable. That's just dishonest. Melchoir 20:12, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Being fictional is not automatic grounds for deletion. Being a non-notable fictional country, appearing once in a joke article, is grounds for deletion. Additionally, most of the content here seems to be made up and does not appear in the original fiction, so it's OR. Fan-1967 19:43, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete non-notable, OR. Melchoir 19:54, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
• Note: I read the article too quickly and mistook it for a hoax, not seeing that the article acknowledges the country's fictional status. Nevertheless, I support deletion for non-notability, now that I've looked more closely. -FisherQueen 20:08, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
