Hurricane Kira

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Originally nominated under A7 but not an eligible subject. The article does not appear to be discussed by reliable sources. The current article is entirely in-world fictional information. The hurricane is not mentioned in the article about the show, Captain Planet and the Planeteers. I see no likely redirect and no notability for an independent article.

 * Note to closing admin: I believe that many of the IPs who !voted may be the same individual resulting in duplicate !votes as they share a common ISP and geolocation. I have tagged those !votes below with " Verizon IP, geolocates to New York ". Similar Verizon/New York IPs have attempted to close the AfD as no consensus: .-- Gogo Dodo (talk) 09:09, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Note: due to the contrversy surrounding this article, i have decided to move the article my userspace — Preceding unsigned comment added by Siabaf (talk • contribs) 13:04, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
 * restore content to the article space, the history of the article needs to be retained with the article while it is listed at AFD. GB fan 16:16, 2 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete Fictional hurricanes not covered by any sources, much less reliable. As the nom said, there's no likely redirect either. Vaca  tion  9  13:16, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge at best. Personally, I have seen the episode and yes it does have a hurricane but I doubt it Blight mentions the name.  –BuickCenturyDriver 13:36, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete A fictional weather system featured in a single episode of a minor children's TV series with no coverage in any other sources is not encyclopedic material. Kill it with fire. And Earth, Wind, Water and Heart... Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  14:04, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * It looks like a SNOW candidate. I'll keep the article on my watchlist.–BuickCenturyDriver 14:34, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Not remotely notable. JamesBWatson (talk) 18:00, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak keep article sounds plausible but is for the most part fan cruft 174.252.19.225 (talk) 21:33, 25 February 2013 (UTC) — 174.252.19.225 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. Verizon IP, geolocates to New York
 * fictional events usually don't get there articles, sorry — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.236.205.136 (talk) 21:47, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * "Sounds plausible" is not an indication of notability. JamesBWatson (talk) 07:56, 26 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete: not notable.-- Dewritech (talk)  10:10, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep and move to Hog Tide. Believe it or not, Simpson episodes have there own articles 174.254.182.44 (talk) 17:39, 26 February 2013 (UTC) — 174.254.182.44 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.  Verizon IP, geolocates to New York
 * What does Simpson's episodes have to do with the notability of this fictional hurricane? Are there reliable sources that discuss this hurricane? GB fan 01:32, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The point is that every Simpson episode, item and character gets its own article so writing an article about something seen on the Captain Planet show is no different. Att3847 (talk) 18:45, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Just because other stuff exists is not a reason to keep this article. GB fan 21:58, 27 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep per above. --Yuffo (talk) 01:26, 27 February 2013 (UTC) — Yuffo (talk • contribs) is a new editor.  Att3847 (talk) 18:39, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Rename article to Hot Tide. After watching the storm episode on Youtube, Blight never mantion the name of the storm as "Kira".  This article really is about the episode's plot.  Yuffo (talk) 21:03, 2 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep interesting article Att3847 (talk) 18:37, 27 February 2013 (UTC) — Att3847 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * "Interesting" is not a reason to keep an article. Articles must be about WP:notable subjects.  GB fan 21:58, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep, the article's subject appears in the show and has a clear image. Those who feel the article is ng, should watch the episode  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.21.255.58 (talk) 18:56, 27 February 2013 (UTC) — 70.21.255.58 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.  Verizon IP, geolocates to New Jersey
 * Just because something appears in an episode of a TV show does not mean we should have an article. What we need to be examining here is, does this fictional hurricane meet the notability guidelines?  GB fan 21:58, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - There is zero coverage in reliable sources about this fictional hurricane. In fact, there isn't even any unreliable soruces covering it. -- Whpq (talk) 22:17, 27 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Move to Hog Tide, the name Hurricane Kira may not be as well known as Hurricane Katrina or Hurricane Sandy, but in my opinion the information looks notable for its own article. Master Xandred (talk) 17:47, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Reply - "Notable" has a specific meaning on Wikipedia. How does Hurricane Kira meet these guidelines? -- Whpq (talk) 19:18, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
 * If Captain Planet is a "Notable" show then certainly we can write articles the show's episodes, characters and events, just like we have people write articles about Simpson stuff. Master Xandred (talk) 05:41, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * We cannot "certainly" have stuff written about every little detail of the show; nor is it relevant what others have done with the Simpsons. -- Whpq (talk) 14:20, 1 March 2013 (UTC)


 * move per above. Article is more of an episode plot than a hurricane. 69.115.164.157 (talk) 20:00, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - A hurricane in a fictional TV series? Come on...not even close to being notable. Go   Phightins  !  01:10, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. 174.236.76.63 (talk) 01:24, 1 March 2013 (UTC) — 174.236.76.63 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. Verizon IP, geolocates to New York
 * why should it be kept? GB fan 01:26, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * the fictional store Kwik-E-Mart has its own article. "Kwik-E-Mart" is not so well known by most people. So, articles about fictional events and businesses are nothing new.  Now GB fan, why should this article be deleted? 174.236.76.63 (talk) 05:31, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * That store is from the Simpsons. I'd assume the Simpsons is more popular than CP.  Master Xandred (talk) 05:38, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * As I stated when I nominated the article for deletion, there are no reliable sources that provide significant coverage of this fictional tornado. Wikipedia has established guidelines to determine when a subject is notable enough to have an article.  The basis of the guideline is significant coverage by reliable sources.  You are correct that articles about fictional events and businesses are nothing new and if they don't have significant coverage in reliable sources they shouldn't have articles either.  I have never looked at the Kwik-E-Mart article so I do not know if it has significant coverage.  I just cam across this article because someone nominated it for speedy deletion with a criterion that did not apply so I declined that and then evaluated the article and looked for sources.  Finding no sources to establish this as a notable subject I nominated it for deletion to see if anyone else can find sources or if it is not a notable subject.  GB fan 17:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename to Hog Tide per above. The article writer was probably writing about the episode and came up with a name for the storm.  The article's source are in the show itself.  It makes more sense however to rename the article.  12.40.50.1 (talk) 19:59, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Primary sources, the episode itself, are not enough to establish notability. In Wikipedia notability is established by secondary sources noticing the subject and publishing significant coverage about the subject.  In this case we do not have that significant coverage.  GB fan 20:22, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete - The keep votes here are WP:OTHERSTUFF, and WP:ILIKEIT arguements, moving the article to Hog Tide will not solve anything as the problems with the article will still be present so my opinion is to delete this per WP:N, WP:FANCRUFT, and WP:NOT. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:02, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete: Part of a work of fiction that has no notability in real life.— Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 10:33, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, it has no place in the pedia, also delete User:Siabaf/Hurricane Kira as a copy of the article, indef sockmasters don't need userpages.  LGA talk  edits   07:53, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
