The result was redirect to Discworld (world). The weight of consensus here is roughly for a merge, but just about the entire content of this article is already in the specified section. In fact, this article may technically be a GFDL problem, as I assume the content was mostly copied and pasted out of the Discworld article.-- Kubigula (talk) 21:23, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Hogswatch

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article seems to be nonnontable fictional element, that is unreferenced, and of interest to a very few people VivioFa teFan   (Talk, Sandbox) 13:16, 11 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment: The referencing is an issue, but given I've had someone send me a Hogswatch card and I've seen mention of people celebrating it, it looks like this either has or is in the process of acheiving independent notability. I suspect evidence for this will be easier to gather for someone in the UK, though I will try. If the article is to survive, documentation will need to be added, so that it is not just in-universe information. —Quasirandom (talk) 17:19, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep or merge Keep and fix, or merge into some better place in the Discworld articles. It's strange that wikisearch doesn't find this being used, because it is. The Hogfather works in mysterious ways. htom (talk) 00:57, 12 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep and complete. Just after airing SkyOne TV film (Terry Pratchett's Hogfather) Hogswatch has gained enough fame to have a separate article. Even in Iran Hogswatch was celeberated by a group of fantasy fans(News item titled "Happy Hogswatch!"). ‍- Qoqnous (talk) 08:58, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable, and no real world context. If people want it to stay show us some sources to establish real world context. Ridernyc (talk) 17:59, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. No secondary sources to establish notability and violates WP:NOT. The article borders on non-sensical to me since it provides very little real-world context for someone unfamiliar with the series, but it appears to contain original research as well.

 * !vote but comment Added a BBC article. There appear to be more such articles from different sources, but they cost money to get... Not sure one source is enough.  Hobit (talk) 22:32, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep AfD isn't cleanup. The subject is notable. Editors can add references to demonstrate notability, as Hobit has demonstrated. Rray (talk) 22:40, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Discworld or Hogfather. Valid content, but such a minor fictional element does not need its own article. --MCB (talk) 07:14, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
 * While Merge may be appropriate, I think the point is that people are actually celebrating it in the real world.  Silly perhaps, and merge may still be the right thing (notice my !vote). Hobit (talk) 18:39, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
