Ganon's Castle (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

As much as I am not a deletionist, "Ganon's Area" is not an established in-universe term referenced at all. As best as I can tell, this term is a creation of Wikipedia itself. StayinAnon 20:12, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Simple case of WP:OR here. Arkyan • (talk) 23:08, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - the article was recently moved from Ganon's Castle. I recommend moving back to that title and redirect to Hyrule (with or without a merge). --- RockMFR 06:21, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
    • I would be ok with that. While the notability may be questionable, at least it wouldn't be original research.StayinAnon 20:23, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
      • I've gone ahead and moved it back. --- RockMFR 21:46, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Move back to Ganon's Castle, which is a legitimate and prominent in-story reference. Crotalus horridus (TALK • CONTRIBS) 19:03, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge to Hyrule. - A Link to the Past (talk) 05:26, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Hyrule is already way too large, and splitting out common "themes" or places could make sense. I'm not sure this is really OR, as I'm not sure what else the author could've done for this material. - grubber 17:48, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Merge to Ganon's Castle. The area itself is probably not really something to carry its own weight. --Dennisthe2 23:42, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
This is actually the same artilce that was renamed to Ganon's Area and moved back to the correct name Ganon's Castle. So there is no need to merge since they were never seperate articles. --67.71.77.40 04:06, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

The title is currently Ganon's Castle, so this should be taken into consideration when determining the fate of this article. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 05:02, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The article has been moved back to Ganon's Castle, which is a real location in almost every Zelda game. TJ Spyke 08:51, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete It's just a collection of original research and fancruft, neither of which have a place on Wikipedia. -Panser Born- (talk) 11:25, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
    • It's a major location in almost every Zelda game, how is that cruft? It could be better sourced, but it is notable and is NOT fancruft. This AFD should be closed since the article isn't the same as when it started. TJ Spyke 23:26, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Why has this been re-listed twice? The stated nomination for deletion was that "Ganon's Area" is not an established in-universe term referenced at all. Since then, the article has been moved back to its correct title, Ganon's Castle, which is indeed an established in-universe term. The nomination should be closed because the original grounds are no longer valid. If someone wants to open a new AFD on a different ground, they should do so separately. Re-listing the nomination twice seems wholly unjustified and skewed towards deletion. Crotalus horridus (TALK • CONTRIBS) 15:21, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Agreed. Jeff Silvers 04:56, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Agreed as well, and I nominated it. StayinAnon 07:46, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
