The result was Keep The "objects" are integral to the plots and storylines in the series. The article appears to be simply a split-off per WP:SUMMARY so as not to make the main article too long. --Polaron | Talk 04:46, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Objects from The Lost Room[edit]

Article contains solely an in universe context. No secondary reliable sources could be located to meet WP:FICT. Not notable in the real world. Pilotbob 05:23, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Wikipedia permits lists that are content forks from notable fiction, where they would otherwise overwhelm the main article. See, e.g., Characters of Lost, List of characters in Heroes, or List of Star Wars weapons. This article is not well sourced (the "References" are just a hand-wave to the official site), but that just means it needs to be fixed, not deleted. Wikipedia is not paper. --Hyperbole 07:10, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually the main reference is the actual TV Show. ~ PH DrillSergeant...§ 17:20, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Hyperbole. PilotBob, nominating everythin out of hand is not the solution. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 07:20, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep/merge AFD is not cleanup Colonel Warden 08:03, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is notable in an in-universe context, which is allowed to stay if as Hyperbole said, it would otherwise overwhelm the original article. Since, in The Lost Room, the entire show is based around these objects, I think it serves a purpose for in-universe reference. ~ PH DrillSergeant...§ 17:20, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment' I'm surprised at the keep votes here. This article is just a giant plot summary (failing WP:NOT#PLOT) with no real world context. Pilotbob 05:39, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
