[edit] Napoleon Noir

Napoleon Noir (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Harry Potter fanfic character with 25 ghits, many of which are not in English and don't appear to relate to the subject. No apparent speedy category, so it's here. Recommend Delete. // Chris (complaints)•(contribs) 23:08, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

  • I feel that these claims are false. There are 422,000 ghits, but many are, i admit, not related to this subject. But seeing as this is an underground HP fandom character (small sites, using free services) that do not appear on google, then it shouldn't matter. I welcome any edits to the page, as i feel that it is not fully finished and has not reached it's full potential. Any ideas or comments for the page are also welcomed.

  • Strong Delete Article (and likely character) author's assetion of 422,000 ghits is demonstratively false. [1] The first page of ghits seems to show they're mainly about Toussaint Louverture and a mixed drink, though pictures of somebody's dog show up before the first non-Wikipedia hit for about this non-notable fan character.

    • While I agree with your assessment, to be fair, the 422.000 ghits count was based on a query without quotations.[2]--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 14:21, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete as silliness. --Tony Sidaway 13:48, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. I'm too lazy to come up with an appropriately bad Harry Potter joke right now. --Calton | Talk 15:41, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Actually doesn't this thing qualify for speedy under the "web content" provision of WP:CSD#A7? --Tony Sidaway 16:18, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment I tried under G1 (Aztecs, end of the world, etc.), so it seemed bad form to try again under a different criteria. But I think there's an assertion of notability, even if it is unsubstantiated. Could this qualify for a WP:SNOW close? // Chris (complaints)•(contribs) 16:22, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

    Yes, this is a classic snow close. Saying somebody is a fan fiction character is not asserting notability because it's a de facto statement that this character does not appear in the books or films or anything else from the pen of the author JK Rowling.--Tony Sidaway 22:01, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
