Flora of A Series of Unfortunate Events

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article is not notable, and contains only information from other articles - for instance, information regarding Nevermore Tree is already sufficiently covered in The Vile Village. If any content is not already duplicated in relevant articles, it should be moved there, but I cannot see anything notable that is not already covered in other articles.

Although A Series of Unfortunate Events is notable and so are the 13 books in the series (as well as TUA and TBL), notability is not inherited. I believe the article is "listcruft", as it is of interest to very few people. Similarly, an article on locations in the series has previously been deleted. Per WP:OSE, the fact that Fauna of A Series of Unfortunate Events exists at this time is not a reason to keep this article, although a separate discussion may be warranted for whether that article is worth keeping.

There are no sources outside of those to the series, and therefore no established notability of flora as a relevant topic within ASOUE. The sources to other books seem to be there solely because of allusions made within the books to those works (e.g. green lumber - Green Mansions). There are a theoretically infinite number of potential ways of grouping things within ASOUE (e.g. characters with at least six letters in their middle name), but lists should not be created for all of them.

 * Delete per the excellent nomination. 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.

 * Delete&mdash;Flora of Shakespeare, sure, because reliable sources exist. Absent sources, I don't see any hope of establishing notability.  Lesser Cartographies (talk) 02:00, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
