[edit] "Disputes" as to which sites should be kept

I noticed you wrote this in your edit summary. There is no dispute as far as the WP:CPOP front goes, and as far as WP:EL goes. Fan sites are only kept if they provide information that cannot already be found on verifiable third-party news sources. Most, if not all, C-pop fan sites will derive their news from newspapers or online news sources. Lollipop was formed after 2002, so news sources can be easily found online. On several online news sources, there are also a number of articles on Mayday's beginnings on various news sites. What this means that practially all news found on fan forums is rehashed. Without news, what do you get in fan forums? Image galleries, fan-made images, and useless banter. For this very reason, fan forums do not fit under the WP:EL guideline. So in the future, please don't confuse people that there is some kind of dispute about external links. Because there isn't. Pandacomics (talk) 12:33, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh trust me, there's no such thing as "the possibility of people adding fansites." People end up fansites...ALL THE TIME. Sigh. It's probably never going to stop, and it's horrendously annoying. And I guess I misinterpreted your edit summary. Keep up the stuff with the Mayday/Lollipop articles.Pandacomics (talk) 13:06, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
