[edit] Fictography
Appears to be a neologism. Most Ghits are blogs not reliable sources. WP is not a dictionary. ukexpat (talk) 17:26, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete - not a widely used term yet -- Whpq (talk) 17:56, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. There's actually some very limited usage, but most references seem to be connected to either Robert R. McCammon[1] or Billy Marshall Stoneking. And this is AFTER A Million Little Pieces and several others that would ostensibly require the term. --Dhartung | Talk 18:10, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete per above - moreover, the author has got it wrong: the article says it is "a biography written about a fictional character" such as Gulliver, which would cover so wide a range of fiction as to be almost meaningless. What the reference describes, though without using the word, is the writing of a "fictionalised" biography of a real person, such as Tracy Chevalier's Girl with a Pearl Earring about Vermeer, or Mary Renault's Fire from Heaven about Alexander the Great. That is a useful category about which something could be said, but there's not enough evidence for the use of this neologism. JohnCD (talk) 18:42, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
