Talk:All the Young Dudes (fan fiction)

Importance?
Sorry if this has already been settled, but why is a fanfiction story considered noteworthy enough for a wikipedia page? It's been marked for deletion a few times but kept each time, and I really can't fathom why anyone outside the Harry Potter fandom would consider this even remotely significant. 139.80.239.134 (talk) 01:26, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

 * I have to agree. That this fanfic gets its own wikipedia article is apalling. Just because a big magazine is writing about it, doesn't mean it has a big impact. By that logic every tiktok trend and tiktoker who ends up on the news should get its own article. EinPadawan (talk) 19:10, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

In referring to names
Just wondering, why are they all being referred to by their last names? Not only are they fictional characters, but a majority of other book plot summaries on Wikipedia use their first names -- for example, every Harry Potter book on the website. For Lupin, I can understand, but otherwise it doesn't make sense. ZinniaShroud (talk) 19:33, 6 July 2024 (UTC)


 * There is no general consensus for a broadly applicable rule/guideline about this on WP:WAF. However, it has been common practice to refer to what they are commonly called on whatever medium is being used. As there is only one Lupin and one Black (No Regulus mention on the page), last name seems more applicable in this instance. Maxwell King 123321 06:10, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
