This noticeboard aims to serve as a place to report incidences relating to the merging, splitting, redirection or notability of a fiction topic. Often, such topics can be branched out without due consideration of guidance on plot summaries or the notability of the topic itself. As the guidelines given at Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) state, topics dealing with a work of fiction or elements of a fictional work should demonstrate real-world notability from reliable sources. Wikipedia aims to reflect academic consensus.

Note that the purpose of this board is not to remove any mention of the fictional topic, but rather to ensure that proper balance is maintained. Wikipedia articles dealing with fiction topics aim to reflect both the consensus and the diversity of mainstream academia. Discussion of fiction will depend entirely on their notability and reliable coverage in popular media. Also, fiction should never be presented as "fact."

Before posting a concern on this noticeboard, please try to work out local consensus with the editors of the page in question; you also may wish to seek assistance and consensus of any WikiProjects that the article or topic may belong to, particularly if dealing with several articles at a time. This Noticeboard should only be used in cases where no consensus can be reached, or additional advice or opinions are sought for topics and articles relating to fictional works. Should the suggestions from this Noticeboard fail to resolve the issue, other dispute resolution measures should be taken.

Batman Emblem

Is this topic suitable for an article or should it redirect to Batman? Hiding T 11:04, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I cannot imagine how a proper article (read: GA-worthy article) can be written on this limited subject matter, so the article content should find a place elsewhere. Still, I think Batsuit might be a better merge/redirect target(?). – sgeureka tc 11:35, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

The Clique series

There is currently a discussion at Talk:The Clique series#Merges on the proposed merging of all but one of the individual novel articles for The Clique to the main article. Discussion stopped and I felt consensus was to merge, however in noting this, one editor disagreed. So I requested a 30, which feels that there is not a clear consensus to merge because a single different editor disagreed and offered to work on all the articles (though she had only worked on one then never did anything with the rest). I asked at the Novel project for additional comments regarding a possible merge, but so far there has been no response. Since this is a fictional novel series, I thought I should also ask here. At what point is there consensus for a merger? -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 01:15, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

I've replied there, but as for At what point is there consensus for a merger? - in general, when established editors (not IPs or single purpose editors) are unlikely to edit war about the merger. I don't think the Clique articles are truly there yet. – sgeureka tc 09:52, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Labh Singh

If you see my last edit I replaced the names Khalistan with India. This is because there's no country called "Khalistan" and Punjab stated there are today in India. Although many Sikhs fought for "Khalistan" there's no such thing as a land called that, or there has never been. Moreover the flag next to it is an Indian flag. These people will just revert my edits and I'm new here. Can you please help? There's misinformation in Wikipedia. Any unfamiliar reader would think where's Khalistan. It's only a conceptualized state. Please look into it. Thx. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.111.28.100 (talkcontribs)

Edits and articles: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Labh_Singh&diff=prev&oldid=242295581 and Khalistan. You're really at the wrong place here though (this noticeboard is for entertainment fiction). You should discuss this at Talk:Labh Singh. – sgeureka tc 18:25, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

User 71.188.174.137

Here is the user's contributions page; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/71.188.174.137

Here is the user's talk page; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:71.188.174.137

This user has repeatedly added original research to numerous Godzilla related articles, even if it contradicts provided references. His edits have been REPEATEDLY undone, and he's been warned on his talk page. He seems impervious to any argument, as he refuses to even respond. He shows no inclination to stopping, therefore, an administrative action seems appropriate.Dark hyena (talk) 11:42, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Please use the templates listed at WP:WARN, and if this doesn't work, report the user at WP:AIV. If none of the warning templates apply to the situation, you have a content dispute, and admins can't help there (talkpage discussions, WP:RFC, and WP:MEDCAB may help there though). – sgeureka tc 08:27, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

American Dad episodes

Can I get some comments here? It's currently overwhelmed by fans that don't seem to care that this is an encyclopedia. TTN (talk) 18:27, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
