Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha terminology

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unnotable list of "terminology" from an anime series; primarily WP:PLOT and WP:OR with no third-party sources. At best such terms are best explained within the existing main articles when first mentioned, most of which never are. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 20:54, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep, subject to copyright considerations. Appears to complement the main article and is too large to include within that. However, I suspect this is not all original material; note, for example, which is word-for-word identical in places. I42 (talk) 21:20, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete- large and indiscriminate collection of minute facts about a work of fiction. A lot of this is original research inferred from the anime, and there's way woo much plot summary. There are only primary sources so this article does not pass our threshold for notability. Reyk  YO!  22:38, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Not only is this article full of trivial information that is not necessary to understand the work. Most of the article is unverifiable and based on original research. Most of the terms is technobabble in the first place. --Farix (Talk) 22:46, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment glossaries are acceptable content on Wikipedia, and there are several glossaries on fictional in-universe terminology in Wikipedia. 76.66.201.179 (talk) 05:02, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment I understand that Wiktionary also takes glossaries. Though I'm not sure about ones based in fiction. 76.66.201.179 (talk) 05:02, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as Wikipedia isn't a guide, directory, or indiscriminate collection of information. Sourcing is also very shabby and implies original research.  Them  From  Space  18:27, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete detailed plot info dressed up as a glossary, and even a proper glossary on Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha isn't something an encyclopedia needs. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  21:22, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and other AfD's on term lists. Easily merged into plot, character, episode, and/or volume summaries where needed. ~ Itzjustdrama C  ? 01:08, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Excessive plot summary. — sephiroth bcr  ( converse ) 04:01, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Unnecessary as the most relevant terms could be explained on the fly in characters section, plot section, episode summaries and wherever required. --KrebMarkt 07:46, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
