The Trix

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article about a set of fictional characters. No evidence that these characters are in themselves notable. Sparthorse (talk) 10:05, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

 KEEP and MERGE with original article  The material in The Trix article is poorly written and overlong. It needs to be edited down, some references added, and then transferred, not deleted. I Googled "Trix(Winx)" and got 367,000 hits. That is a lot of interest. I have also made these comments on The Trix talk page, but User Sparthorse wants to delete the article before either I, or anyone else, can do any work on any of it. And make no mistake -- this article needs a lot of work. I am seriously tempted to let him delete it, thereby saving myself a lot of work, but that's a little too selfish -- the Trix are a topic of considerable interest to Winx fans. Furthermore, Winx is itself of far broader interest than mere fan enthusiasm because it was developed and first shown in Italy, partly as a reaction against Disney Italy, the Italian subsidiary of the US-based Disney organization (I added some reliable, scholarly references about this to the Talk page of The Trix). In addition, Winx adopts the manga/anime plot device of creating a group of female opponenets or enemies, called The Trix, who fight the heroines (the Winx girls). The Trix are older and more malicious than the younger and more innocent Winx heroines, so the story has a distinct moral flavor to it (see those references). So I am trying to explain some of the issues raised by the Winx Club and their enemies, The Trix. Hence I urge that this article be revised and then merged with the parent article. Deletion will simply erase a lot of useful material needed for revising the article, and that is counterproductive. Timothy Perper (talk) 10:55, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep but merge and/or redirect. There is no need for a separate, break-out article from Winx Club. Plenty of room left on that page.
 * Note to closing admin, if it's a keep: just redirect to Winx Club. --Uncle Ed (talk) 19:28, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect. - No indication that these characters are in any way notable. All of the "sources" (inline links) are to forums and other SPSs or copyright violations on youtube and the like. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 02:57, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete or redirect to Winx Club, which already does the job. Before there is an article about The Trix, there should be a List of Winx Club characters article where info about fictional groups can be expanded. Material should ONLY be spun out then when there is sufficient non-trivial real-world info (none here, just plot and in-universe details, nothing really to merge). – sgeureka t•c 08:39, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
