Harry potter fun facts

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Unsourced trivia (possibly in violation of the original research policy); Wikipedia is not a collection of indiscriminate facts. Page creator contested the PROD. -- SoCalSuperEagle ( talk ) 21:16, 14 June 2010 (UTC)


 * delete. trivia articles or section are usually discouraged in WP due to being not really encyclopedic in nature, nevertheless a well written and well sourced article might be beneficial to readers and hence at least occasionally acceptable. But currently this article is neither, hence it should be deleted.--Kmhkmh (talk) 21:59, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

I do recommend that the author check out, as well as contributing to other Harry Potter articles on Wikipedia. Mandsford 23:56, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment It's a first time contribution from a new editor, and I suspect a young fan of the books (I'm guessing early teens), so I won't be too harsh. We do have a policy against trivia sections.  The preference is for weaving interesting facts into the narrative, along with a sources for statements that raise a new talking point (hence the "Did you know?" section on the main page).

 * Delete, or we'll have Harry Potter not-so-fun facts. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 01:34, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE and WP:NOR. If this article were allowed to stand, which "facts" would be appropriate and which "facts" would not.  The entire narrative of all seven books could be paraphrased as "fun facts".  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:20, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
