[edit] Dune (fan fiction)

Fails by being both non-notable and vanity. Also it has needed cleanup for the past two months and none of the editors have bothered. It seems like the article was first made to criticise the legitimate novels (see my previous edits[1]) and advertise the works mentioned, none of which seem worthy of a Wikipedia entry.

• Delete fan fiction tends not to be notable, even when several are grouped together like this. Nice to know that Herbert doesn't mind fanfic of his characters though. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:32, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep though maybe merge into an existing article on fandom or the Dune article. Dev920 23:48, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - I think that fan fiction of such well-known scifi franchises as Dune (not to mention Star Wars, Star Trek, etc) are indeed notable. - Richardcavell 00:09, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Very rarely is fan fiction notable, even if it comes from a notable series such as Dune. BryanG^(talk) 04:06, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per other Andrew L. Andrew Levine 09:47, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete without prejudice to recreation, possibly notable topic but zero notable content at the moment. Sandstein 16:07, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete (or Merge) can't stand by itself LactoseTI 13:58, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
