Hello everyone. As you can see by the posts below, we've been having a problem in deciding which links should actually be on this page. Fagstein believes that Little Professor includes too many links, and LP may think both of us are vandals (I think not). So, to resolve the problem, I have added a separate list of fictitious domain names. If you would like to add more links, I suggest that you do so there instead. Thanks! --BlueGuy213 04:34, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do we really need all of these examples? If nobody objects, I'm going to start removing most of them, especially those which are unsourced. Fagstein 07:23, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do. For great justice. - ∅ (∅), 18:36, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I recall Austin Powers mumbling something of zip-it-dot-com-dot-org or something ...

It was Dr. Evil who mentioned that, when talking to his son, not Austin Powers himself. By the way, I think it's probably a good idea to remove the links to the pages that either do not exist or are not related to the show in question (I do not think that we should remove all references to pages that don't exist, just the links to them; after all, non-existance is part of the purpose of the article), but I think we should keep the ones that actually exist and are show-related. I would also like to add a reference to the fictitious .srv top-level domain, which was used for several URLs in Final Destination 2; are there any objections? --BlueGuy213 03:27, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's been five days now, and nobody has replied. I'm going to be bold and assume that it's okay to add the FD2 reference. --BlueGuy213 04:13, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What's the point?[edit]

This list seems to run contrary to what Wikipedia is not (an indiscriminate list of information), and by its very nature will only expand exponentially as fictitious addresses are mentioned in works of fiction. I don't believe there are similar lists of fictitious telephone numbers or street addresses from all over the fictional universe, so what makes websites so special?

This article was nominated for deletion because it was a list of indiscriminate information rather than an article on the subject like the title indicated. Being bold, I removed the examples... maybe we could include one for illustrative purposes, but more than one is unnecessary for the expansion of this stub into an encyclopedic article.

Fictional or fictitious?[edit]

posted also at Talk:Fictitious telephone number

Is this term used in one of the related industries?

The examples of Wikipedia article "Fictional book" (where 'fictitious' does not appear) and related articles "False document" and "Fictitious entry", suggest that the term here should be 'fictional' and the article should be renamed/moved. --P64 (talk) 19:55, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
