these mass deletions deprive editors of the ability to help them reach those guidelines. When articles are faced with the threat of deletion, TTN, and people like him keep insisting that we have to have "real world information" and "third party reliable sources" in order to keep the articles alive. The fact is, some of the criteria for "real world information," and "third party reliable sources" are virtually impossible to reach, especially if you intend to use them for characters such as blue-skinned failed scientific megalomaniacs with no positions of political power who seek world conquest, royal family members with genetically mutated appendages, teenagers who can transform into dragons, seasick sea serpents, talking animals, Klingons, Vulcans, Orkans, and other mythical and implausible beings. Supporters of his efforts have showed links to on-line newspaper articles, while failing to realize that these articles aren't permanent, and frequently require registration with each specific paper in order to read. Furthermore, not every episode of a TV show has had an article written about it, giving the appearance that only selected TV episodes can ever be written about. Criteria such as this makes television-related wikipedia projects elitist. To make matters worse, far too often TTN tends to change his mind about acceptable sources. At one point he told me that

own problem ,and brought it to their attention. It's taken some time and some other incidents to get the WP moving, but there's activity, and it seems there's consensus that the logical order of 'series; season; episode' for determining Notability is being applied. I would note that DanTD makes TTN's case for him, admitting most of the articles lack any real world coverage, and that fansites are the only, (and he states, best) sources of information. He complains that the WP:RS that TTN refers to may require registration, buying a newspaper, or trips to the library. Those are, if anything, proof that a source should be examined for reliability, not disqualifiers. Notability isn't a matter of 'but I love Zack or Cody or Kim or Whoever and they are my liiiife!", but 'did the New York Times select them as specifically being hard-hit by the writer's strike? Did their

Notability may have a narrower constraint than the widest world range; a surgeon develops a new knot, which helps in WWI, but is later surpassed by a better tie-off(made up example). This is notable to those who like WWI history, and medical history, while to the rest of the world, it's dismissed as a curiosity. However, it probably satisfies notability, given statistics about it's efficacy over the even older knot. Notability, however, should never be narrowed to 'fans of the third season of Kim Possible Love this third season episode of Kim Possible, as evidenced by the KimPossibleThirdSeasonforever.com website!'. We have rules. 1642:-related articles), or simply stalks people and nominates every article they mention or edit. He has been having some friends help him as well, and i've become suspicious that he may be the host of a few sockpuppets (my suspicions come from them complimenting each other, saying they need to "do this more often", meaning mass-nominate articles). It's now come down to revert-warring with me and several other wikipedians on various articles because of his self-imposed proposal to merge all secondary video game articles into one main article. 830:. It's understandable why some fans are upset about TTN's measures and forget civility in the heat of the moment, but as far as I can tell, TTN presents WP's policies and guidelines very calmly to them (compare any thread on his talkpage, although he may sometimes be too detached from what fans want wikipedia to be, and too rational on following/enforcing guidelines). Since TTN does this almost every day, I do also understand why he stayed away from the 1413:. Until that point, I understood why such an effort would be carried out, but I still believe there's a clear enough distinction between "my Pokemon is more notable than yours," and the existance of an episode of a television show, as well as the events within the episode. In the meantime, TTN himself did offer me a redlink to my own sandbox, in hope of using it and others to upgrade the standards of the articles. Despite this, when I finally read the 1576:

Flintstones parodied the Honeymooners, Scooby Doo was on the recieving end of 30 years of marijuana jokes. KimPossible doesn't even do well as selling toys, does it?

that other users wouldn't be as familiar with. Every effort I've made to point out the benefits of fansites have been ignored, and every efofrt to reveal the damage caused by these deletions have beem dismissed. Every effort to transwiki the articles has failed as well, due partially to some technical problems and the lack of assistance from other users.

1352:. TTN merges because there isn't real world information, or there is very very little (such as a singular Nielsen rating). Then look for it. How it was made. What reviewers thought of it. Seeing as there's about 50 (maybe more) episode GAs, look at them and model upon them. Don't edit war. It generates unnecessary drama, like this RfAr. 964:, these rules have previously not been (strictly) enforced for fictional topics because there were more pressing issues. But in the end, fiction is just another wikipedia domain where the same (strict) guidelines and policies apply, and it is high time that these are enforced, starting with the articles that least qualify for passing. – 1203:. The process was attacked before it ever got off the ground, but we were able to organize several review discussions. The formality of the process is likely why it stalled, but I think we were still able to learn from it, We do still need a way other than AfD to deal with mass sub-fiction related articles. 1183:
I believe the solution to a lot of these issues is not about having X article on Knowledge or not, but finding it a proper home. No one likes to see the work they've done, or the work someone else has done, simply "go away". I myself have recently got involved in the first real/mass transwiki project

TTN is using redirection (under the guise of merging) and slow motion edit warring (make two reverts, wait 24 hours if necessary before making more) to make an end run around AfD. It's because he doesn't like the results there, where he can't control the final decision. He's pretty rude about it as

TTN is not inflexible on this stuff, when I approached him, he was calm and cool, and had no problem letting the project handle it.

I wanted to stop here and state that TTN is doing a great service to Knowledge. His actions have prompted at least one project to start reviewing its' efforts (WP:HEROES).

I've just learned that as of this moment there are new people taking TTN's place as a mass deletionists. We're at the point where we can't mention a single title of a television show without somebody looking to delete all articles connected to it. Unfortunatley, we've been at that point for a while,

1282:
As for TTN's behavior, I have absolutely no doubt that he feels he is doing something incredibly valuble for the encyclopedia. In my honest opinion, wholesale redirection (usually without any merging) is not helping make the encyclopedia better and is only stoking the flames on this massive content

I've seen that TTN first started off with genuinely good intentions (good faith) and good edits on articles. Then, somewhere along the line, he began mass nominating articles for merge and deletion. I mean by the DOZENS. His talk page alone is a testament to all the people this user has annoyed (to

If this isn't about space, as you claim, then there's really no point in getting rid of these articles. Improving the bad ones, definitley. But not getting rid of them. The idea that they're not notable is a bold-faced lie. They're only not notable to people who don't like them. And what's worse is

First and foremost, I strongly believe that an article needs to satisfy wikipedia's policies and guidelines, or should at least demonstrate its potential to do so. So, it seems, does TTN. There are some TV shows that have already shown that individual episode articles are not necessary at all, e.g.

While I don't really want to make this seem like a personal attack, the way your conduct revert warnings and the procedures for reversions may as well be for AfD's. Having said that, I still appreciate the sandbox you created for me. I will work on the articles when I can, but I doubt any of them
