[edit] First War (Harry Potter)

Delete WP:NOT a J.K. Rowling book. This is a recapitulation of a chunk of Harry Potter, I guess. Details of a fictional book do not belong here, nor should we merge it. I expect this AfD will be overrun by H.P. fans. Disclosure: This was CSD'ed and the CSD was declined a while back, not by me. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 18:11, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Delete per nom. There's not even concrete information about it: "The war is specticulated to have begun around 1970" Metros232 18:51, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Superstrong Keep Wikipedia is not paper, either. jgp 19:24, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: I'd just like to mention that the nominator has harrassed me on my talk page over my vote. jgp 19:42, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not Verifiable (by name). — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 19:50, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with Second War (Harry Potter) or create a new page about minor Harry Potter plot points or something Transwiki to Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter. The topic is still something of notability, even though it's minor. I admit to being an "HP fan" as guessed in the nom, but I agree this doesn't merit its own page. So long as the mention of the information is not lost, I'm happy. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 01:11, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep or Merge Wikipedia is not paper ...however, if we have a article such as Timeline of events in the Harry Potter series, this would fit better there. - CNichols 22:15, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
    • WP is not for restating huge chunks of fictional material, paper or not. The 2nd war (I was unaware... were there more?) is even worse. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 02:02, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
      • The Second War is considered to be the one that is happening within the timeline of the series (Harry vs. Voldemort, that is). --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 03:06, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
        • Having no clue, I must reiterate that I have no clue. It's all horcruxes to me :) :) - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 03:54, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. The number of events, people and places mentioned in the Harry Potter series is very large and not of general interest. There are plenty of fan sites such as the HP lexicon which provide this information in some detail and are linked from the main pages on the series. Espresso Addict 20:08, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
