List of fictional airborne castles

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This is a list of information that is largle non notable. It is not sourced and contains no real world context. It has been tagged for references since November of 2006. Pilotbob 05:17, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. I agree that it's certainly obscure, but I'm not entirely convinced that it's not notable. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 05:30, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * On second thought, delete as non-notable. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 14:44, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Another 'in pop culture' list, consisting of mostly non-notable locations and videogame obscura. Take any fantasy or sci-fi facet and most likely you'll find it in videogames in one form or another - and hey, what's not to like about a floating castle? There may be a feasible article to be written on the subject (in addition to Laputa), but this list isn't it, and the majority of locations listed here wouldn't qualify to be in it.Someone another 05:55, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep Cause Sky Rockets in FLIGHT!  Afternoon DELIGHT!  Castles flying even better.  KEEP KEEP KEEP.  Awesome.  203.220.107.23 11:30, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. We don't want to cause confusion between these fictional items and actual, REAL-LIFE, airborne castles.  Mandsford 12:20, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Not a valid deletion argument. There should be no confusion since the article in question has the word "fictional" in its title. 96T 16:31, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, okay. I guess these are the fictional ones.  Mandsford 16:59, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete(with a slight tinge of regret) as there is no evidence that the concept of airbourne castles in fiction is notable. Guest9999 14:30, 6 November 2007 (UTC)]]
 * No, but it is not unlikely that it is notable, since the concept appears in Jack and the Beanstalk AND The Empire Strikes Back AND Gulliver's Travels (according to the article, haven't read the book myself). 96T 16:31, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete nn topic. JJL 15:18, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, for now, since airborne castles are key elements both in a very famous fairy tale (Jack and the Beanstalk) and in one of the most popular films of all time (The Empire Strikes Back). It could improve if it was transformed from a list to a decent article, called Airborne castles in fiction, dealing with the subject in a more encyclopedic way. I think it is likely that if one looks for them, one could find reliable sources on the subject. Remember, there is no deadline. 96T 16:31, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. Why can't this article make up its mind? Sometimes it's about floating castles, at others floating cities. Clarityfiend 17:59, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as nonnotable. – Mike . lifeguard  &#124; @en.wb 21:06, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
