Cast-off being

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The title of this article is a neologism. Google finds no uses of this term except here in the article. The content of the article resembles a personal essay. (Article was already tagged by others for Referencing, Original research, Personal essay and Cleanup). The only source listed is a book by David Fontana. We have no WP article on either David Fontana or his book. EdJohnston (talk) 18:19, 17 September 2008 (UTC) EdJohnston (talk) 18:19, 17 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete, pure, unadulterated WP:OR. The one "reference" doesn't seem to actually reference anything at all except perhaps the little bit of Carl Jung info. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 18:46, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - this article is somewhere between original research and an original synthesis of others' views, which may or may not themselves be notable. AlexTiefling (talk) 19:46, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Tentative keep I've never heard the term "cast-off being" in my life, but the subject of the article is a pretty common element used in works of fiction so there's a chance there're some scholarly sources that discuss it. Also, this discussion should probably be in a more suitable place since it really has nothing specific to do with anime and manga. - Norse Am Legend (talk) 19:51, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * there's a chance there're some scholarly sources that discuss it is not a valid keep criterion. And this is the proper place to discuss this.   Corvus cornix  talk  23:10, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Well! Excuuuse me for having the notion that this could have potential validity based on the common literary usage of the article's subject. And by "could be in a more suitable place", I meant that this AfD shouldn't really be included on the Anime Wikiproject AfD list, but rather somewhere more relevant where there's potential for a better opinion. I'll make sure to sit on my hands the next time I consider typing something that could get me italibolded at. - Norse Am Legend (talk) 01:48, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete the provided reference has absolutely nothing to do with the article's topic in general. This is just an editor's personal synthesis and needs to be destroyed with fire. JuJube (talk) 07:58, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
