[edit] Hammerspace

Hammerspace (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article is about a fanmade term that has had no serious or critical coverage by any sort of media. No one has written about the cultural implications of "hammerspace" nor has anyone written about it in any sort of serious concept. The only two references that are in the article are to a Geocities page and to "animeinfo.org". As such, all of the information in the article is made up of unverified claims and trivial inferences.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 23:42, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. I tried to find reliable sources and all I came up with is user-submitted content. If someone finds good sources, I'll change my position, but right now it's largely a user-defined article.-Wafulz 23:55, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per above Rubber cat 04:33, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unless something comes up. A bummer, since it's something of an universal phenomenon in certain early cartoons, though a nameless one. --Agamemnon2 17:19, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
• Neutral There should be sources for an article like this, but I can't find any, and without them, it's on shaky ground. I will point out to others seeking sources that sometimes, the concept is called malletspace instead. Gnfnrf 17:40, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Just because the mainstream media hasn't covered this doesn't mean it's not noteworthy. It's a well-used term in the community of anime fans, and it has been for a long time. Removing this article will probably only cause some confusion when new fans come to look up the term. --Rockhound 18:17, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • If we can't find reliable sources on a topic, then that topic should not be included as part of an encylopedia. It exists only in the minds of the fans. Not in a proper cultural complex.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:45, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep This is a common term for a well-known phenomenon. I don't understand why it's not more common in writing, but it's not because there's no such thing as hammerspace or it isn't really called hammerspace. Notable.Juryen 22:34, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Mere existence does not beget encyclopedic coverage.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:49, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete no reliable sources or significant coverage. Oysterguitarist 04:16, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete (try to find an anime Wiki to transwiki to, maybe), fails WP:V, sorry. I do like the concept (Ranma No Baka!) SirFozzie 04:25, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, interesting concept, but basically completely original research, with no reliable sources available describing this as a cohesive concept. --krimpet⟲ 04:28, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
