Notability

Article needs mainstream references. Personally I would think the author is more significant than one of his series. Problem is, Wikipedians - esp. the draconic delete delete delete types, are very enamoured of print media and "mainstream" references. The man and his works inhabit a purely internet/geek domain which won't show up much in the NY Times or academic research printed books. Pär Larsson (talk) 18:16, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At the very least, the character information needs to go; all that stuff is completely irrelevant to the article at hand and is a rather poor duplication of what is already in other character articles. –MuZemike 22:08, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Have got to second that; the character section is little more than a fanboy descent into fantasy storytelling. It is a poorly written attempt at interpretation of the narrative based on the (article's) author's experience with the original source fiction for the characters. But those characters presumably already have fleshed-out descriptions in the articles for those media, and as for the nature of those same characters in their reinterpretation for Dead Fantasy, the character information provided is all inference and guess work, and superfluous in any event -- and would be, even if if they weren't geekily obsessive on detail. And what good details there are consist mostly of the events directly depicted in the DF movies, information that would be better provided in a plot summary. Maybe the section might be worth keeping if it can be drastically scaled back to a brief statement about the character's origin source and a few comments about their unique adaptation in Dead Fantasy relative to that source material. But even then it needs to be about one-fifth it's current length, at most. As it stands, this section is currently more fanfic than encyclopedia entry. 68.124.128.92 (talk) 16:01, 12 June 2011 (UTC)Snow[reply]
