Wikipedia is not a place to store fan fiction. AnyPerson (talk) 04:50, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

BigBrotherFanFiction (talk) 05:00, 24 January 2009 (UTC)It's on my account though?
 *  Keep  and suggest to user that he move to his sandbox rather than his user page. This is a new user, and since this isn't in mainspace, it doesn't have the same requirements.  We don't want to chase off new users, but guide them to productive habits. Ched (talk) 05:03, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Why would we want fanfiction in a sandbox any more than we want it on a User page? AnyPerson (talk) 05:04, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

BigBrotherFanFiction (talk) 05:09, 24 January 2009 (UTC) Ok I found it but why would I want to do that if it's just gonna get wiped away. It's just fanfic, on my account, it's not hurting anyone.

OK ... hang on a moment, I've added a welcome to your talk page, and will be back there shortly. AnyPerson, the whole "Big Brother Fan Fiction" thing is an article surrounding a TV show. Wikipedia has many TV shows and movies listed here. If the user wants to work on creating an article within his namespace, he is encouraged to do so. Please be tolerant of new users, they become editors very quickly. Thank you Ched (talk) 05:15, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It's fan fiction about a fake season of Big Brother, not a real season. AnyPerson (talk) 05:16, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

BigBrotherFanFiction (talk) 05:18, 24 January 2009 (UTC) So what's wrong with that?
 * The purpose of Wikipedia is to create an encyclopedia, not to store fan fiction. Like I said above in the first sentence.  Try geocities or some other site.  AnyPerson (talk) 05:20, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

BigBrotherFanFiction (talk) 05:22, 24 January 2009 (UTC) I've seen so many people do it. Why can't I? Plus it's not on the main wikipedia, it's under my account that no one will see.


 * AnyPerson, I understand what you're saying, but Wikipedia has many encyclopedic articles about TV shows. Provided the articles are done in an encyclopedic manner, don't have POV, are verifiable, are cited and referenced - then having an article about a TV show if fine, in fact encouraged.  New users should be guided, and not chased off by having their own user page (or other pages within their namespace - within reason) deleted before they've made 10 edits.  Please allow me to work with this user and guide him/her toward making this article an acceptable encyclopedic entry.  Thank You. Ched (talk) 05:33, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * BigBrotherFanFiction, AnyPerson is correct when saying that "fake" or "future maybe" things aren't really what goes on here. If you want to work on the article about an actual show, then yes - perhaps take some time, and read through a couple of those links I left on you talk page about what Wikipedia is.  (AnyPerson, my appologies, I didn't realize it was not an actual season - but give me a bit of time please -- thanks, ChedChed (talk) 05:37, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Delete or blank - had to change my opinion after trying to work with the user. Once he was pointed to WP:NOT it appears that he/she was looking for a "hosting" site. User:BigBrotherFanFiction/BigBrother will also need to be deleted shortly if user doesn't return to wiki-type of editing. My bad, but I tried in a positive way I guess.
