Fullmetal Fantasy

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

Appears to be a Fancruft/Vanity article, unsourced since July 2007, few pages link to the article, mostly Wikiproject links. I don't think this has gotten to the notability level of the Troops fanfilm as well. 293.xx.xxx.xx (talk) 10:34, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment: Confusing nomination, why not just use a prod? Also please note accusations of "vanity" are deprecated on Wikipedia because they're considered unnecessarily insulting (see WP:VANITY).  -- Nevertheless, since the AfD process has begun my recommendation would be delete on notability grounds.-- S Marshall   Talk / Cont  15:26, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Pardon me for being "Old School," but I saw nothing in the general deletion instructions that disallowed noting "vanity" in the nomination. Skipping that point, I did normal Google and Yahoo searches: this was one result. It would seem that unless the film as about Iron Kingdoms or Final Fantasy (oddly enough, it was via a mistype in a Final Fantasy search on Wikipedia that showed me this article), it has already failed the Notability guideline as I don't see any "verifiable" third party articles (or is buried so far into the search results or under an obscure search parameter/words). It also appears to be a pure fancruft article given the tone of the article and the Trivia section. Also, it was tagged in July 2007; there is a line when you can only give so much before deletion is the only option. Seeing it's September 2008, whomever had an interest in the article had a good year to clean it up with an extra 2 months thrown in for being unoticed. I tried to at least attempt to salvage the article, but as stated above, to meet current Wikipedia guidelines, it failed.--293.xx.xxx.xx (talk) 17:22, 10 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Interesting as the article is, and wonderful as the fan film might have been, the article fails WP:NF because it does not have WP:RS to support the WP:GNG. If that changes, so will my vote.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 21:04, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete no real world relevance per MichaelQSchmidt. Also, to S Marshall, I did see WP:VANITY.  Did you see the part where it says "Please do not use this shortcut, as the term can be considered insulting to the people it is applied to"? JuJube (talk) 09:10, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
