Fauna of A Series of Unfortunate Events

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The similar article Flora of ASOUE was deleted following this discussion and an article on ASOUE locations was deleted two years ago.

Although ASOUE is notable, as are the books in the series, notability is not inherited. The only sources in the list are to the books in the series - while the facts in the article are true and sourced, they are not notable. No reliable sources discuss the importance of fauna to ASOUE and this is "listcruft" - a list of things mostly irrelevant to the plot of the series (and where relevant, they are already described under the relevant book article's plot section). The list is of little interest to anyone other than maybe a few big fans and has no place in Wikipedia. Bilorv (Talk)(Contribs) 17:50, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. I'm forced to agree with Bilorv. Derivative articles seems on point. By themselves, the fauna do not achieve notability, and might best be placed on a web site devoted to fans of Lemony Snicket. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 18:46, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete- I repeat my opinion from the Flora AfD, because this article has exactly the same problems: This article consists of nothing but plot summary sourced almost entirely to the work itself. There's no end to the number of plot summary articles that could be written with the focus on this or that fictional element. Most of these are not suitable for WP articles, and this one also is not.
