[edit] D'ni Patriots

About a non-notable Yahoo group, written pretending that the world of the Myst computer games is real. Prod'ed before with the reason "Based on the submitter Cha'Rehls's contributions, I expect he is watching how long we let this article exist." but tag was removed.

Comment, It is a little fuzzy as to what is creative thought and non-notable on the part of a ametuer and what is accepted fiction on the part of a professional. I have seen countless articles on fictional characters that are not deleted, while this character, being invented (presumably) by the author or a close friend, is not accepted due to its lack of fame. Of course, I am not sure of all of Wikipedia's guidlines on the subject, although it appears as though they are just made up by the users anyway. It looks to me as though this guy is trying to create a famous character from scratch, which is kind of interesting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.218.108.5 (talk • contribs)

That last comment was correct. It would be kind of hypocritical for this article to be deleted merely on the basis that the subject matter is not well known. It's not as though Wikipedia has a lack of memory to keep this article as one of it's over 1,000,000. I think it is pretty interesting myself.
