List of fantasy Clichés

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Random selection, original research. Unsourced and some of the entries really would have to be sourced (e.g. that the damsel in distress is typically a princess.) Also, we already have Category:Clichés. Schuhpuppe (talk) 00:06, 23 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge. With Fantasy tropes and conventions and please do the research and get those cites. I have added the appropriate template on the article. patsw (talk) 00:45, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, because it's all original research. There's nothing to merge. - Richard Cavell (talk) 11:56, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete As Richard Cavell said, as it is all original research there is nothing to merge. The really obvious mentions are already included in the fantasy tropes and conventions and most of the rest of the list is only relevant to fairy tales, myths and legends, which are normally seen as separate genres and not a part of fantasy.

 * Comment. The creating editor of this article was around for 11 days. If there were timely notice to this newbie, he or she might have been motivated to remedy the article during their period of activity.  As it stands now, without a motivated editor to merge and cite, the content is likely to be deleted as WP:NOR. patsw (talk) 16:19, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Yoenit said it well. Deor (talk) 22:56, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete- Yoenit has said almost all that needs to be said. Can we add a line to WP:NOT to the effect that Wikipedia and TvTropes are not the same thing? Reyk  YO!  00:39, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
