Rahi (Bionicle)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Original research plot summary about a non notable race of fictional creatures. The only sources provided are a blog and other primary sources. There is also no real world context. Ridernyc (talk) 06:10, 2 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete, fictional characters with no notability outside of the Bionicle universe. Fails WP:FICTION.  Lankiveil (talk) 12:12, 2 January 2008 (UTC).
 * Delete per nom. We don't need Bionicle articles clogging up the mainspace. Tavix (talk) 18:38, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep This article is my favorite because it tells tons of info about rahi the animals of Bionicle. You also can't find the information that this article has anywhere else on Wikipedia so I think it should be kept.Swirlex (talk) 22:20, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep This article has information not found on the Bionicle Wiki article. Ridernyc, this article is not a plot summary. Tavix, the English Wikipedia has-at this moment-2,159,323 articles. One more won't hurt and one less won't help. But if you want to clear mainspace, then go check out Unbeatable Warrior.--EmeraldWithin (talk) 15:48, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Thi is a Major part of the Bionicle franchise (just as important as the Toa or Makuta pages). Therefore it should be saved. Plus, if we delet every page that is'nt about something that's real, we'd by deleting a HUGE portion of Wikipedia. I say keep it.

 * Keep Do you need secondary sources for popular fiction which is still in the process of being published? I don't think Bionicle will be an academic subject any time soon. There is no plot summary; this is 100% equivalent to listing e.g. all the various creatures in Tolkien's fictional universe. If you also imagine that Tolkien never published such a thing as a novel, but rather a comparatively uncoordinated assembly of movies, comics and novellas, you might see why a list such as this fills a function. The "real world context" can be found on a number of other Bionicle pages.Pelotard (talk) 13:50, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete because it is also my favourite character of Bionicle. But I'm not living in Bionicle universe and this isn't Bionoicle wiki. Rahi is not a notable subject out of Bionicle world. Secondary sources? Well you don't need to find peer-reviewed academic journals to tell the story about it. News and columns about how this character was created, the story behind its creation, who developed the main idea of its story, etc. can all be considered as reliable sources. At the current form, all sources link to unreliable sites, which fails to assure verifiability. It's enough for a deletion. Dekisugi (talk) 13:56, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
