I say, keep with sources. Lots42 (talk) 04:17, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is not for fan speculation or essays. There were no reliable sources, and as such constituted original research (specifically WP:SYNTH). If sources can be provided to demonstrate that this is notable in any real-world sense then sources should be added.

- Its fails WP:GNG as wikipedia states "Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, and no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material Dwanyewest (talk) 03:36, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete no notability independent of the franchise. Ridernyc (talk) 23:39, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete just because something exists doesn't mean it should have an article. There needs to be evidence of notability. 84.9.159.20 (talk) 14:40, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as sufficiently notable for at worst keeping the edit history per WP:PRESERVE. No legitimate reason exists for not doing that, i.e. no reason for actual deletion here. Improving or merging and can be discussed on the article's talk page. Sincerely, --A NobodyMy talk 16:04, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
