[edit] Ranulfism

Ranulfism (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

An essay on real people being incorporated into historical fiction. This might just be worth salvaging. However this state of the article, a) has a title which is a pure neologism and b) has no links to discussions of the topic. So it is currently deletable as original research. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 03:18, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - While I think the point has merit, the article is just a rant. The name is made up, just 3 Google hits, 2 of which are Wikipedia. The author of the article doesn't even get his facts correct such as in the section on Rome. Vorenus and Pullo are not fictional characters, I believe they're actually the only leagionaries ever to have been mentioned in Rome's historical documents.

  • Delete: Original research. Non notable, as evident from a quick google search which has 0 hits aside from 2 Wikipedia and 1 Wikipedia mirror. - Rjd0060 04:44, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete I'm a fan of historcal fiction and I'm well aware of the practice this essay is talking about... but the name is completely made up and this essay seems filled with the author's POV. And I'm disgusted that the author doesn't seem to get the point of fiction. - Superlex 00:02, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
