List of My-HiME terminology

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Is there really a need for a separate terminology article for My-HiME? Not only is it all in-universe, but the only reference is the anime itself. I would have considered not nominating this for deletion if there was any real-world discussion/analysis/references or even any reception, but there isn't any.

 * The main article terminology section just has a link to this list, so why did you come here instead of just merging it back? If this is important to describe to readers so that they'll understand the series, then it should exist in some form, shouldn't it? Asking for separate "reception" of these elements of the works of fiction is a bit off the mark if this is an attempt to separate and deconstruct parts of those works. Maybe it should be merged into the plot and character sections rather than a separate section. Or it may be that this is mostly trivia and not really important to the series? I don't know. But that discussion should happen, and as an editing discussion about how best to describe and cover the underlying topic, not as a "fails XYZ rules so delete it" AFD discussion. postdlf (talk) 19:01, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * The problem is that it's a terminology article. Terminology sections or articles are almost always entirely fancruft and merging them back to the parent article would just be a burden. At most the most important terms can be briefly discussed in the plot section (see Shakugan no Shana on how to do so), but detailed explanations like this have to go.

 * Sounds to me like you're judging this based on a preconceived notion you have about a general class of content rather than on your familiarity with this particular topic. postdlf (talk) 22:11, 7 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge Per WP:NOTPLOT. There has been previous precedent on merging or deleting articles that are entirely in-universe and filled with fancruft, but consolidating and merging it back into the main article seems like the way to go for the time being, at least until it could be reincorporated into the series' plot and the terminology section eventually phased out.--  十  八  02:45, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NOTPLOT If you want to some of the things to merge there is nothing stopping you from doing so now. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:17, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete as not notable. There's nothing to WP:verify notability of this terminology as a whole. Also, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. (See: WP:NOT). Any terminology relevant to My-HiME can be explained in context at the main article. Shooterwalker (talk) 20:45, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
