Epitaph of Twilight
nn fan games--Asof 07:25, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. This reminds me of an AfD yesterday. The nominator said "nn anime," when the subject of the article wasn't even an anime to begin with.  The nominator here said "nn fan game," and its the nominator's only contribution.  Worst of all, the Epitaph of Twilight isn't a game, let alone a fan game: it is one of the backstory components of the official and popular .hack universe.  Going by how this is similar to the last AfD and has no actual reason for deletion, I'm tempted to call bad faith nom. &mdash;   Da rk Sh ik ar i   talk /contribs  10:28, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep Again, we have a SPA setting up an AfD using a rational that completely misrepresents the article, just like what happened with Tomo-Dachi. However, the poem could be merged into .hack or another article that describes the story details within the .hack series. --TheFarix (Talk) 11:07, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to an appropriate dot hack article's plot section if anything is salvageable, else delete because it seems to be entirely in-universe description of a plot element. Do not keep as separate. Questionable-faith nomination or not, there are major problems with this article and deletion is a viable outcome.--Kunzite 13:17, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Seems like a silly nomination, and the article is on a very important topic within a rather popular anime/video game series. --maru  (talk)  contribs 16:53, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge & cleanup, per WP:NOT. WP is not an indiscriminate collection of information. This article as it stands now seems to be the product of fandom. It's interesting, sure, but I think it serves better as a mention in a .hack article, at least until someone can improve the content to the point it can stand on its own. It needs a thorough rewrite in an out-of-universe style, with real-world context and citations. Taikara | Talk 21:59, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Clean up and probably Merge, this definitely has its place in an article about the .hack universe, assuming there is one and there is room. The current wording is pretty confusing, especially when it stands on its own as an article like this. --Rankler 14:08, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and Clean up We have enough .hack articles as it is, and this particular plot point would probably better reside within one of those articles.Sephylight 23:52, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: - It's not a game, it's a poem! Bad faith nomination. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 03:30, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep Seems to be an important part of the .hack universe, but I'm not too sure it deserves its own page. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ 11:39, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong merge I'm a big .hack fan, but I don't think this really should be a separate article. -- Ned Scott 04:03, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
