Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of areas, landmarks, institutions and businesses of Metropolis (comics)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was merge to Metropolis (comics)#Features for what one participant called "the useful and validated bits". Whether there are any such bits is highly questionable, which was why some editors supported straight deletion instead. I leave the question of what from the list material might be mergeable for the interested editors to resolve through normal editing and Talk page discussion.

Pure fancruft; an article already exists on Metropolis, and this tangential list violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE as well as being entirely in-universe in nature. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 06:22, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per WP:FANCRUFT. Article is propped up mostly of content from self-published fansites. Ajf773 (talk) 08:00, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge the useful and validated bits into Metropolis_(comics), and get rid of the rest.

I have to say that I actually love this article, because it provides a really convenient overview of the main locations and institutions of this important fictional city, but its content really belongs in the main city article. RomanSpa (talk) 08:20, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Metropolis_(comics), of course. See WP:ATD; WP:BEFORE; WP:NOTCLEANUP; WP:PRESERVE; &c. Andrew🐉(talk) 11:55, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I was initially going to agree with a Merge, but looking at both pages, it seems like all of the major landmarks and features listed here are already covered at Metropolis (comics)#Features, in often better detail. In addition, there aren't any actual valid sources to move over, since all of the sources being used for this article are from fan wikis. Rorshacma (talk) 18:22, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge usable and referenced elements to Metropolis_(comics) (assuming there is anything to merge, per Rorshacma above...) then delete this (not a topic we can expect anyone to search for), extreme WP:FANCRUFT. Heck, when even Andrew above is not saying keep, you know we found the bottom of the barrer... --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:55, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep - Wow that's a heap of references and sources. Better than most list articles I've seen. This one appears to go back to 2007. I looked and the page creator did edit Metropolis on that day - [1], but it wasn't to split out this info. If not kept, of course merge. - jc37 09:18, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Every single one of those references and sources are from fan-wikis, and thus completely ineligible as being a valid WP:RS. Rorshacma (talk) 17:01, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
