Dante Falconeri and Lulu Spencer[edit]

Dante and LuLu both have stand alone articles at Dante Falconeri and Lulu Spencer - this is an extention of that under the claim they are a fictional "supercouple" - however the FOUR sources provided are all fansites dedicated to US daytime soap operas.

I just did a news search, a book search and a general web search using different terms - but the most worrying issue was there were no online sources citing them as a supercouple, the very scope of this article, apart from a few stray soap opera fansites.

Because they have not been mentioned by any sources inline with WP:RS and no publications seem to tag them as a supercouple - what is the point in housing an article on them if primary unreliable inuniverse sources discuss them.

What is worse is that only ONE source provided mentions them being a supercouple.

Other issues are that the article is another recount of in universe plot information - the very similiar recount of plot featured in there stand alone articles. This page cannot be merged if it already exists in other articles and is a branch of from two other poorly sourced fictional character bios.. which is what they are. Hense why this needs to go in my opinion. RaintheOne ^BAM 23:10, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I stumbled across that page a week or so ago, and couldn't even bear to look at it. It's a mess, ineptly sourced, nearly all WP:OR and poorly written (though that, obviously, is cosmetic and could be fixed if the article was otherwise solidly sourced, which it's not). I'm very glad you brought this here. There's a couple other GH-related pages I think should go on the block for similar reasons, but I'm still pretty new around here and I don't feel comfortable listing articles on afd without more edits and time under my belt. --Ella Plantagenet (talk) 21:33, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete per A10. When you strip away the fancruft and excessive WP:PLOT recapitulation, what you are left with is unnecessary duplication of material covered by existing articles for the individual characters. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 13:26, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
