Spirit World (Avatar: The Last Airbender)[edit]

This article has been tagged for notability issues for quite some time now, and no effort has been made to improve it. It seems most of the article is plot summary. Obviously, this fails WP:PLOT as well as WP:N (if only the WP:FICT proposal became policy, then there would be a more specific notability citation). In fact, there are only four references in the article, and they are all to the show. — Parent5446 ^{(t n e l)} 02:23, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any 3rd party reliable sources which discuss this element of fiction as important or notable; even in the context of the television program. Perhaps this would be better served as part of a "World of Avatar: The Last Airbender" or something? --Haemo (talk) 03:39, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep While it needs improvement, there are other articles in the same vein--seeCategory:Avatar: The Last Airbender nations -- and AfD is not a substitute for improvement. I know my argument is somewhat against WP:OTHERSTUFF, however, if this article fails WP:PLOT then the others in the above category would too, and I don't see that would be quite appropriate, as the other articles are well-written--and that is really all this article needs. At the very least, I would say, give this article another stay of execution so long as there's someone willing and knowledgable enough (where to find sources-wise) to do the work.

- All the articles in that category do deserve to be either deleted or merged. In fact, the best solution would probably be to do what Haemo said, and merge them all into a World of Avatar: The Last Airbender. — Parent5446 ^{(t n e l)} 11:58, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and consider merging. Parent seems to agree that merging would be a suitable as deletion, so, given that deletion policy is that deletion is the last resort, I suppose he actually supports a keep , and that he will then propose a merge. DGG (talk) 20:10, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, at first I believed the article should just be deleted. But then I realized that this article is just one of about ten articles that need to be merged into one. — Parent5446 ^{(t n e l)} 20:29, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge I'm good with the idea of merging this article with the other non notable Avatar articles related to the Avatar world. SkepticBanner (talk) 00:17, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
