Revision as of 04:12, 29 November 2007

Encountered this when closing an AFD on a duplicate article to this one. The article consists nearly entirely of in-universe language inferred from episodes of the show, and is almost completely unverified original research. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought, and Wikipedia is not a plot guide. Core desat 03:41, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This piece of fancrufty original research is not only unverified (not a reason to delete), it's largely unverifiable (which is a justification for deletion). I don't see how a sourced article on this topic is possible without synthesis, as I doubt any reliable sources deal with the topic of "the Buffyverse vampires". (BTW: The fan-derived term "Buffyverse" has no place on Wikipedia.) szyslak 09:01, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
comment I suppose nobody has ever made a reference to the fact that the series deals with Vampires? And I suppose our rule is that any word originated by fans or fan fiction is unmentionable on WP. Just what universe are we in, or does in-universe mean excluding anything written in our own? DGG (talk) 04:12, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
