Entirely unreferenced in-universe plot summary with no assertion or hint of notability -- soundly fails WP:NOT#PLOT, WP:RS, WP:GNG. Being marked for cleanup for more than a year has yielded only tweaks to insignificant trivia. --EEMIV (talk) 22:00, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

  • Oppose deletion, favor merge to Anderman Emipre There is a balance required here. On the one hand, the urge to apply ll WP:policies with rigor and the reality of human experience knowledge and behavior.

An underlying problem is that one editors trivia is anther's vital interest; one suggests deletion or consolidation, the other expansive fan copy.
