Consanguinity (Buffyverse)

Consanguinity (Buffyverse) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

A fan-made Internet production with no connection to the Buffyverse other than vampires are in it. Danny Lilithborne 22:29, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I like this series, but it needs to do better than getting praise on Machinima.com, and needs a more reliable source than a comment page.--Drat (Talk) 09:33, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been added to the list of machinima deletions. Drat (Talk) 09:33, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. This series is more notable than some that have been deleted in the past, but, basically, a web search hasn't turned up as much as I would have liked. There's another article on machinima.com where Consanguinity is presented as a case study in the success of serial releases of machinima, and Hugh Hancock further discusses the series in passing in an interview on BioWare's site. Another source would be a brief mention (warning: large PDF) in Machinima by Kelland, Morris, and Lloyd. By raw material size alone, you could make a somewhat decently large reception section out of that. But it'd be 80% from one author, which would be disconcerting. That said, I'm not entirely happy about the lack of a decent place for upmerging cases like this (for example, an article like Neverwinter Nights machinima), where there are a few mentions in third-party sources, but not enough for a separate article. Perhaps if I have time later, I'll see whether I can make that redlink blue, include a couple of paragraphs about Consanguinity, and then recommend a redirect. Until and unless that happens, consider this a recommendation to delete. — TKD::Talk 14:04, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Actually, come to think of it, given the current structure of the machinima article, it might be feasible to write a couple of paragraphs there. However, that article is in need of a rewrite in the long term. — TKD::Talk 13:16, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Merge with Buffyverse (Fan made productions) (which is also currently up for AfD). It may not be quite notable enough for people to be happy about it having its own article, but it is veriable, does not contain original research, is non-POV. I am willing to put some effort into improving Buffyverse (Fan made productions) and incorporating content from the individual films. Would love to be given a chance to improve Wikipedia rather than see the hard work go to waste. -- Paxomen 10:24, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

• Merge with Buffyverse (Fan made productions) (or keep) ~ I think it would be nice to keep some of this content at Buffyverse (Fan made productions) - it is verifiable (official site + machinima.com showcase), has no OR, and is non-POV. - Buffyverse 11:16, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
