Rithmatics

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a fictional concept within a series of fantasy novels, citing no reliable sources to either (a) verify the accuracy of the information, or (b) attest that the concept has any actual notability outside of the novels' own internal world. "Fansite" cruft like this is not what Wikipedia is for — this should either be redirected to Rithmatist series, or deleted. (I'd prefer the latter, since I don't see this having much value as a distinct search term in its own right — anybody who would ever search for this would already recognize the "target" title when it shows up in the autocomplete options anyway.)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Delete or redirect: No independent notability - the series is notable enough for its own article, this concept isn't. Kolbasz (talk) 18:07, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. I agree with Kolbasz and Bearcat.  The series certainly seems notable, but the concepts in it do not seem to be covered in reliable sources yet.  Wikia would be a much better home to this kind of content.  They don't care about reliable sources or notability.  A redirect would be alright, I suppose, but it does not seem necessary.
