Fairy (Artemis Fowl)

Was prodded by, then deprodded without improvement or rationale. I couldn't say it any better than they did in their prod, "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Notability (fiction) supplementary essay. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar."  Onel 5969  TT me 10:27, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete or merge with another article. Per WP:FICTION, the subject matter is hardly notable enough to warrant an entire full-length article, and using this script, I was shocked to see that almost then entire article is unreferenced. The only "citations" present are improperly formatted references to Coler's novels. Unlimitedlead (talk) 13:28, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge to Artemis Fowl. PrelutskyChaos 49 (talk) 15:00, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment But what parts of it would be merged? And where might it go in the article? Nothing in this is referenced. It's organized by fairy type. Artemis Fowl is organized by title, which adds a layer of complication to a merge. The lack of citation is my main concern, though. Joyous! | Talk 18:04, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge or redirect to Artermis Fowl, after summarizing. Agree that much of this is unsourced, but can probably still be included as a summary of the primary sources, keeping in mind WP:UNDUE. Shooterwalker (talk) 23:58, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
 * There is nothing worth merging and the redirect is implausible. Dronebogus (talk) 01:31, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Pure Wikia/FANDOM level fancruft, unreferenced to WP:RS, there's nothing to actually merge here. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:28, 13 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete fancruft to the extreme— most fancrufting stops at “X apears in Y” on X’s article or even just “list of Xs in Y”, but this actually goes out of the way to make an entire article about a wholly obscure and non-notable appearance of a common trope in a moderately popular fiction series.
