Fangtasia

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

Contested PROD. The author has made attempts to improve the article since the original PROD, and it's no doubt notable 'in universe', but there's nothing that establishes notability in terms of 'real world' coverage per condition 3 of WP:FICT (or WP:GNG). I'm unsure whether substantial 'in-universe' coverage infers the same level of notability, hence the AfD for guidance. CultureDrone (talk) 07:50, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Tricky one because there is clearly lots of fan material out there. However, I cannot find any secondary sources that discuss the article. I suggest merge and redirect to True Blood. (Suggesting redirect to the TV series as most ghits are in the context of the TV show, not the books). Quantpole (talk) 10:37, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete I don't see this as tricky because there are no reliable third party references that I see to support a verifiable article.  Drawn Some (talk) 04:01, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I should have explained slighlty better. I said it was tricky because there is so much fan material out there it's difficult to filter through it to see if there are any decent sources. I suggested a redirect to True Blood based on the amount of interest there seemed to be, so I would think it is a reasonable search term. Quantpole (talk) 16:03, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - no independent sources, single location for a series of books. Relevant info should be merged into appropriate articles.  WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 11:19, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
