Genovia

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article is entirely in-universe and poorly written. While that is not, in itself, a reason to delete, it is completely unsourced, a mess of OR, and I can't find out-of-universe sources that give it more than a passing mention. Its been tagged with Uncited and Notability since July. The Wordsmith^Communicate 19:17, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unnotable fictional location, with no real-world notability and little real impact on the stories themselves as it is simply a made up place to set the story, and not of significant difference to anything in the real world that requires such significant explanation nor OR (as a side note, it seems the same OR regarding the "differences") is repeated throughout the various film/book articles) -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 22:40, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and set Redirect to The Princess Diaries where this location would have its notability and souring within the notable works themselves. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 02:44, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
merge as this is the location for the books, material about it is important, but the information here is both excessively detailed, and could be presented better with less duplication in the main article. But I note this is really a discussion about how to arrange the material, not about deletion. DGG ( talk ) 18:41, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It is a setting used in an entire series of popular books and movies. I believe it is notable do to the popularly of the books and the movies that make it familiar to many. I do agree it needs to be rewritten to achieve encyclopedic status.Sabiona (talk) 22:15, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect or Merge to The Princess Diaries. There are enough Google News hits to suggest that this is a valid search term, and since is not titled Genovia (The Princess Diaries) it is a good redirect. Abductive (reasoning) 00:47, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to main TPD page. The location is important to the series but this article consists almost entirely of in-universe fluff that belongs on a fansite. sixtynine ^{• spill it •} 07:06, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
