[edit] San Angeles

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

Fictional city, an article that combines stuff from all kinds of fictional universes as if they had anything to do with each other, its also crufty and unreferenced, there is nothing here in my opinion that stands up on its own Cloveious 02:32, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - per nom. a honeypot for trivia nuts. MarsRover 02:41, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and Dabify it would be better if each of the fictional universes' articles mentioned the other fictional universe's unimaginative use of the same term. SolidPlaid 03:46, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Unreferenced and WP:OR —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pigman (talk • contribs) 04:05, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep Not WP:OR, IMDb (and most certainly many other reliable sites that contain movie reviews) states that the movie plays in that fictional city, don't know about Sliders and the Power Rangers thingy, but i'd guess it's the same. As the city happens to be existant in more than one story and seemingly leaving an impression, if the article was cleaned up, it would be a "nice to have". ~ | twsx | talkcont | 11:25, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
  • It is, of course, meaningless to combine stuff from different fictional universes, but a small disambiguation page might be acceptable. I've tried that out as new paragraph --Tikiwont 11:38, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as DAB page per Tikiwont. Just add a short info on the San Angeles for each fictional universe--Lenticel (talk) 13:29, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge into Demolition Man and Power Rangers. It's a slice of trivia, along the same lines as discovering that Joaquin Phoenix has a cousin named Simon. Until someone describes a megalopolis as "San Angeles" (the way Boswash is used), this is not an encylopedia topic. Mandsford 15:49, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and dabify 132.205.44.5 03:00, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Somewhat similar to Patusan, which has appeared in other unrelated universes from unrelated movies and television shows. Some articles mentioning the fictional "San Angeles" megacity: An washingtonpost.com article referring to Southern California as "San Angeles" [1]. Director Ridley Scott stating that the original name he wanted for the world Blade Runner was in was "San Angeles"[2]. Businessweek article mentioning "San Angeles" [3]. --Section8pidgeon 08:58, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to Sliders. No independent sources, fails WP:N as a stand-alone article. No need to suppress article history. --SmokeyJoe 03:20, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment What a weird article. I wish there were a Wiki for this kind of stuff. Ichormosquito 03:40, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Dabify per above. Ichormosquito 14:34, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
