Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hollow volcano base


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result was delete as unsourced original research with no evidence of notability. To answer Autopilot's question, we would need a secondary source that expressly identifies this particular setting as a cliché or recurring plot device to avoid original research, and we'd need non-trivial coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to establish notability. This discussion didn't produce any evidence that such sources exist. — TKD::Talk 05:37, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Hollow volcano base

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Completely unsourced and contains original research. I doubt this is actually a notable cliche, especially since I've never heard of it. -- AAA!  ( AAAA ) 01:06, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The setting of an evil villian's hollowed out volcano base occurs in many, many action movies, which is what makes it a cliche. The Evil Overlord List even references volcano bases several times.  The current list of movies was generated by searching for 'hollow volcano' on wikipedia; there are likely many others.  Autopilot 14:56, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Cliche or not, does it have any sources that verifies it? -- AAA!  ( AAAA ) 01:00, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * How does one verify a cliche? Or cite sources for something like List of islands, which is similar in spirit to a list of hollow volcano bases in movies. --Autopilot 02:13, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It is also similar to the entry for Sexual tension as a Plot device, which lists movies that employ it without citing any sources or references. -- Autopilot 02:17, 29 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete as unsourced OR. No evidence that this is a cliche, let alone a notable one. Dbromage  [Talk]  01:23, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, non-notable, neologism, unattributed and WP:MADEUP. Carlosguitar 01:27, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete OR, traceable back to You Only Live Twice. Once is enough here.    Acroterion  (talk)  03:11, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Wheres the notabilty and the verification?-- Pre ston  H  03:57, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Shoester 06:18, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. M.V.E.i. 15:06, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. But I created the page, so I would say that... Autopilot 02:13, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Making just a vote is discouraged and may be ignored, since AfD is not a vote. Please back up your vote with reasons why this article should not be deleted.  --Phirazo 15:22, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence of notability, no sources given to confirm that the subject is a cliche, seems to be orginal research. --Malcolmxl5 00:15, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
