Hanso Foundation

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Element of fiction with, in my opinion, no significant evidence of real-world notability; most of the article is written from an in-universe perspective, much of which seems to be speculative. PROD was disputed, so bringing it here. (I would suggest merging to a parent article, but there doesn't seem to be any appropriate one.) rʨanaɢ (talk) 04:14, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, into either Lost (TV Series) or one of its associated articles, probably Dharma Initiative --it's a plot element in the series and that seems the closest association; someone who actually knows the series can do better to suggest one than I, or I'd have done it myself. What I do know, is that there is no reason to lose the information, and WP:BEFORE is the applicable policy. DGG ( talk ) 04:20, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Dharma Initiative is probably the best merge target; I'm not a Lost expert but as far as I know Hanso is supposed to be what funds Dharma, so this article could become a short section somewhere in that one. Lost (TV series) is not a good merge target because it wouldn't be appropriate to have such minor plot information in the parent article. rʨanaɢ (talk) 04:31, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. Not a Lost expert, though. Andewz111 (no 'r') (PingusTM) - Linux rulez! (nudge me) 04:45, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've watched all of the Lost series but I'm not an expert on Wikipedia's article rules. I don't think it's necessary to merge this with the DHARMA Initiative. It has yet to be seen in the final series of the show if The Hanso Foundation has a lot of further significance outside of funding the DHARMA Initiative. I think that the article's documentation of the alternate-reality game, real-world websites and other "Lost" marketing methods are interesting and noteworthy. I'd actually like to see more information about details of the fictional "Hanso Foundation" from the web-sites that are now shut-down and the alternate-reality game, whether these are included in this article or merged with the DHARMA Initiative article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.232.237.10 (talk • contribs)
Merge with Dharma Initiative per above. I've followed the show for a while now, and this foundation's role is not very significant in my opinion. Jujutacular ^T · C 21:05, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
