[edit] Discussion for the Fantasy task force
[edit] Tagging articles
currently working on tagging all fantasy novels listed in the fantasy novels catagory, i'm going from U onwards, U and V have allready been done. i suggest that anyone else working on this write here which letters he has done so as to save time. Snafu25 13:39, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
- Done quite a few already , starting A-Z already at T. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 14:48, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
then stop once you finish T, i'll be finished with the rest by the end of the day. maybe we should split the rest of what needs to be tagged? Snafu25 17:55, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] New Articles
Is there a list of articles that need to be made? Or will there be one? A Gift of Dragons by Anne McCaffery is listed Pern's template but there's no article for it. Applejaxs 15:45, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
- You can add this to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/ArticlesNeeded - which I have done for you. Add others here. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 08:27, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

- foreshadowing of mass deletions has started again by User:Gavin.collins see: Azure Bonds and Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Gavin.collins. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:45, 30 January 2008 (UTC).
[edit] Michael Moorcock
I'm not quite sure if he's considered a fantasy writer but I've done a few novel stubs recently to fill in some red links. These have survived quite a few AfD or Prods so far. If anyone would like to look them over and add a cat or whatever, then feel free. Nick mallory (talk) 12:51, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- I would have thought him more Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Novels/Science fiction task force material. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 16:07, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Plot request
I was wondering if any one would like to write a plot summary for the book Honoured Enemy by Raymond E. Feist & William R. Forstchen to bring the pages notability up. I would do it myself, but im not very good at writing plot summaries. Thanks, Salavat (talk) 01:29, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- The lack of a Plot summary is not the key issue. It is "how is the novel notable"? If you can add references and source that talk about the success and influence of the novel i.e. true notability issues the page will gain value. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 09:37, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Prodding Discworld reading order
Discworld reading order was prodded but the code was removed. However it may come back.--Tbmorgan74 (talk) 22:40, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- Deleted now via AFD; links should probably be removed from book articles, etc. 205.167.180.130 (talk) 18:34, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] The Black Company
We should support that article, and I always wanted to expand the character lists into full fledged articles. But I hesitate because prodders will always be vicious in their overzealous deleting.--Tbmorgan74 (talk) 22:43, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Prod wild fresney
I have prodded Wild fresney because of the following concern: article will never be reasonably expanded or properly sourced. Matchups (talk) 04:28, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Character Page Expansion (David Eddings / Belgariad)
I am considering adding individual character pages for some of the red-linked main characters on the Belgariad character list. A few of these characters already have individual stubs (Belgarion, Beldin) and others are red links (Zedar, Riva Iron-Grip). My main question is this: is it appropriate (from a notability standpoint) to add these pages, or is the character list better left as a simple list? (If you can't tell, I'm new... so I'm a bit unsure of the community's standards) Archonaran (talk) 20:07, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- Beyond Belgarion, Belgarath, and Polgara, I don't think individual articles are merited. I suggest merging the Beldin and Durnik articles back into the list. --Thetrick (talk) 15:46, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] List of characters in the Warriors novel series
Hey guys, this article has been sitting around unsourced for a while on my watchlist and I have no idea where to go to start sourcing it. I'd guess that cites from the books would do, personally, but I haven't read them. Just lettin' you guys know, so hopefully someone can work on it. Cheers! --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 17:18, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Request for comment on fictional characters guideline proposal
Figured I'd bring this to the attention of this project, since I think it's something that affects most folks here, the setting of a baseline of notability for fictional characters: Wikipedia talk:Notability (fiction)#RfC: Proposing WP:FICT for global acceptance. Feel free to comment. Cheers. Ford MF (talk) 14:28, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
