[edit] Wandlore (Harry Potter)

Wandlore (Harry Potter) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Transfer from prod. I can see this as a major (sub)plot-notion of the book, so can be controversial to its notability. Prod reason was "Unencyclopedic, Wikipedia:Notability, Wikipedia:Fiction, real world usage etc. etc." KTC 04:39, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Trim & Merge into main Harry Potter article. Baring that, Transwiki to Harry Potter Wiki. -- Jelly Soup 05:00, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Completely in universe content with no coverage from real world sources. Transwiki would also be appropriate Corpx 05:43, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - WP:FICTION is right on. A truly encyclopedic article that adheres to WP:V and WP:RS isn't possible here, as the only "real world" content that references the topic is Rowling's fiction. Best to Transwiki to the HP folks. Consequentially 06:29, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Stubify would be my opinion. OhanaUnitedTalk page 07:29, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - NN. --PEAR (talk) 08:49, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Wingardium Leviosa to the HP wiki. It's not badly written but not appropriate. AndrewJDTALK -- 22:11, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • just Merge with Magic_(Harry_Potter)
  • Merge with Magic_(Harry_Potter) CharlesMartel 02:53, 8 August 2007 (UTC)CharlesMartel
  • Transwiki full article to the Harry Potter wiki, and merge summarized content into Magic (Harry Potter). Incidentally, it's not impossible that an encyclopedic article could be written someday on this subject, once the corpus of secondary sources discussing the world of Harry Potter (books like this, for example) reaches critical mass. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 19:06, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to Harry Potter Wikia and merge—the updated WP:FICT makes it clear that deletion is a last resort if merging and transwiki are unavailable. Let's get the ball rolling ASAP and start with this as an example. — Deckiller 23:48, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as per nom Harlowraman 00:27, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge and Transwiki per Josiah Rowe. Smokizzy (talk) 04:19, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
