The Magic Box (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No independent reliable sources discuss this fictional store in such a way as to establish its notability independent of the fiction. Tagged for references for seven years. The notability of the series is WP:NOTINHERITED by every aspect of it. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 01:26, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
 * keep (and a healthy dose of WP:SOFIXIT) I believe this to have been a fairly popular bit of TV, to say the least. It's significant and non-trivial within that series. Any complaints about article quality are just that, complaints about quality rather than subject notability, and are thus fixable by the sort of editor who contributes to articles. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:28, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
 * The significance of the store within the fiction is not relevant, nor is the popularity of the series. There need to be independent reliable sources that offer significant coverage of the store itself. SOFIXIT doesn't apply when what is necessary to "fix" the article does not exist. Unless you're prepared to offer up those sources yourself? Jerry Pepsi (talk) 16:47, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. WP:ILIKEIT and WP:MUSTBESOURCES are not good keep rationales.  This plot device does not seem notable, and it really doesn't matter how integral it is to the series (or how popular the series is).  Unless reliable sources specifically discuss the subject of this article, it's not notable. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 14:02, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Without sources to establish notability, this does not need an article. TTN (talk) 16:57, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete This fictional location does not inherit the notability of the series it comes from. In lieu of reliable sources discussing this specific location in detail, I agree that its article should be removed.  I, JethroBT  drop me a line 03:01, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
