• Delete as fan fiction. Fails WP:RS, WP:OR and WP:V as unverifiable original research, fails WP:FICT notability criterion for being fan fic. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 22:33, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment Fan fiction is not by definition non-notable, or The Seven Percent Solution would be non-notable. The guidelines says that fan fiction may be considered vanity and usually is non-notable, but it's not by definition or always without exception non-notable. (Although it's true that a lot of fanboys would like to think so.) --Charlene 22:39, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

• There is a world of difference between The Seven-Per-Cent Solution and Naruto fanfic. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 22:55, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

• Certainly there is, but my point was that notability should be based on policy and guidelines. Policy and guidelines don't say straight out that fan fiction is absolutely, no exception, non-notable, and that's likely because of exceptions like Nicholas Meyer's and a hundred others. --Charlene 23:02, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

• I think there is a difference in usage here. Fan fiction, as an indulgent exercise in speculation by some kid, is almost always worthy of deletion. Published fiction that uses characters and plot elements from another work is a wholly different matter. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 23:12, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

I'll take this off the AfD. --Charlene 23:33, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Does not pass WP:FICT, as reliable independent third-party sources are not discussing this character. --Charlene 22:39, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - non-notable fan-fiction. --Haemo 00:28, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
