[edit] Yamachi

Delete, the fandom around this is hardly significant for it's own article, let alone to define a term found in it. The information pretty much seems useless, so I don't think a merge with other fanfiction type articles would be appropriate either. Ned Scott 05:11, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. fancruft, pure and simple.--み使い Mitsukai 06:16, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as fancruft. JIP | Talk 11:02, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge Fancruft should be (at best) a secondary factor for deletion. The appear to be minor characters, so they should probably be merged into the main Digimon article per Wikipedia:Deletion policy/Minor characters. --Cymsdale 12:30, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

That may be so, but this is likely non-canonical, which tends to be a consideration. Note one of the terms used: seme, a term from yaoi fanfiction, which is almost always non-canon. This is likely nothing more than some rabid fangirl trying to get attention for her favorite "pairing". I have no problem with the individual characters having their own slots here, but that's a far cry from this.--み使い Mitsukai 15:02, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

If it was non-canonical, that would convince me. I don't know enough about the source material to know. --Cymsdale 15:10, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

they are "not minor character", though. They're two of the main characters in Digimon Adventure, and play a sizeable role in Digimon Adventure 02. Circeus 23:34, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm removing my vote for merge. I don't know enough about the topic to judge. --Cymsdale 23:37, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, definite fancruft. Circeus 19:55, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as indiscriminate, unimportant fancruft. -- Krash (Talk) 22:51, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. There are so very many Foo-Bar pairing neologisms and they are so transient that it is far beyond WP's scope to cover them all. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 23:38, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
  • If it goes anywhere, it'd be under "fan interpretation" in the appropriate series article. Circeus 00:06, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
    • And promptly be deleted from that series article as speculation/fanfic. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 00:07, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
      • I don't think NPOV discussion of the fandom (i.e. the whole pairing debates in this case)would be inappropriate. Circeus 00:44, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
        • I don't see a problem with that either, if covered in a general sense. But under a seperate article for one pairing alone? That's opening the door to all kinds of chaos.--み使い Mitsukai 01:30, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
          • Definitely. That's the whole reason I voted delete too ;-) Circeus 01:36, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
        • I don't think NPOV discussion of the fandom (i.e. the whole pairing debates in this case)would be inappropriate.
          Agreed, but some case would have to be made that this is a common or significant pairing in the fandom; after all, every character ever has been paired up with another character in the same (or another) fandom at least a dozen times. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 23:53, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. BS and Rubbish. - plau
