• Maybe disambiguate. I've seen the word "nanofiction" before, but those uses seem to refer either to very short stories (It's been used in print), which would make it a kind of constrained writing; or to science fiction about nanotechnology. This seems to be about a kind of flavor text. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 16:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

• Note - "nanofiction" in the sense of "extremely short story" occurs in scholarly books like the Cambridge Introduction to Creative Writing and various anthologies. Our article about flash fiction is about what seems to be the same thing. Disambiguate, still. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 17:30, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

• Agreed -- convert to a disambiguation pointing to Flash fiction, Flavor text, and science fiction about nanotechnology. Along the way, selectively merge the current content to Flavor text. —Quasirandom (talk) 22:57, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

• Comment For what it's worth, there is a published game having the title of Nanofictionary (designed by Andrew Looney). --Craw-daddy | T | 14:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
• Convert to disambiguation page and selectively merge content into Nobilis and flavor text. There do certainly seem to be a sufficient number of encyclopedic topics that could be legitimately titled "nanofiction" to justify a dab page. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 15:58, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
