Gaia (Final Fantasy VII)[edit]

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

Pretty article, but fails WP:GNG (primary guideline, as noted by Wikipedia:Notability (fiction). 99% of the refs are either primary source (games), or primary sources (artbooks). There is no indication that this setting has received any significant coverage in mainstream press, or otherwise had any cultural impact that would make it notable enough to have its encyclopedic entry (for comparison, look at Spira_(Final_Fantasy)#Analysis and Ivalice#Reception). I am AfDing instead of a prod, given the cultural impact of the FF7 in general, but I hope we will not have to many fans trying to defend it "because it's FF7, dude!". If you think this topic should stay, prove it by providing reliable sources. If this is deleted, I suggest contacting final fantasy wikia, as it may be interested in importing our fancrufted content. PS. File:Midgar.jpg should be deleted, too. PPS.

Comment AfD is the wrong venue for deleting files such as Midgar.jpg. If you think this should be deleted, please take it to Wikipedia:Files for deletion instead. Even then, given the interest in this game, I would recommend a transwiki to WM commons. --Mark viking (talk) 16:52, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- @User:Mark viking: If this article is kept, I have no problem with the image being kept. But if the article is deleted, the image will be orphaned fair use, and should be deleted per standing policy, without a need for a separate discussion. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:12, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Redirect to Compilation of Final Fantasy VII for someone to merge a few paragraphs later at their leisure. There doesn't seem to be much reason for the article to exist without more non-primary sources. TTN (talk) 17:00, 30 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
