Pokemorphs[edit]

Article about a non-notable online role-playing game. Gazpacho 06:06, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Apparently not just a MUSH (as the article suggested) but a widespread Pokemon/Animorphs/furry fanfiction synthesis. No vote yet. Gazpacho 10:35, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, Wikipedia is not an Internet directory. fanficruft. —No-One Jones (m) 06:17, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Appears to be from the fanfic community. --Improv 06:49, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable. Ian Pugh 07:08, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete; Agreed. Krupo 07:24, Nov 2, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep and improve in order to centralize all the related articles on Pokemorphs. Why is it necessary to VFD an article within only a few hours of this page's existence? Should have been referred to a subject matter group, such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Pokémon. -- Netoholic @ 08:23, 2004 Nov 2 (UTC)
  • Delete. It can't be improved, it's self proclaimed fan fiction. Wikipedia is not for fan fiction. Average Earthman 12:33, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • "self-proclaimed fan fiction" ? The nominator of this VFD, Gazpacho, himself added that to the article... .is that confirmed? -- Netoholic @ 06:41, 2004 Nov 3 (UTC)
      • POKEMORPHS BOOKS are written by Melissa, who is 14 years old and lives in South Australia [1]. Perhaps slightly more than fanfiction, they still don't look notable to me. The article certainly shouldn't be the fiction version that it is - if it's a product of note (which I don't think it is), talk about the product. Average Earthman 12:36, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
        • They're not actually books - they're online stories. Or at least they were, but the web site is gone. Andre (talk) 23:40, Nov 7, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Pokemon fanfic fancruft. What's next, an article on Pokegirls? Gwalla | Talk 22:27, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. --*drew 01:28, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • Keep Fiction is a valid topic. --L33tminion | (talk) 22:00, Nov 5, 2004 (UTC)
    • Only notable fiction. Ashibaka 05:06, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. I know we don't have nearly enough Pokemon on wikipedia; if only there were a way to recruit more fanatics.... -R. fiend 06:47, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. This is fan fiction, but more importantly it's non-notable fan fiction. This is coming from a guy who has heard of it before and who was formerly an operator on the #pokemorphs IRC channel. No actual books were ever published, the website is currently nonexistent, and the creator has stopped writing the stories. Andre (talk) 23:38, Nov 7, 2004 (UTC)
